Seminars identify and discuss emotional implications of Critical Incidents. It is very important to understand what an officer experiences during and following a Critical Incident.

Unless the officer and those who interact with him/her understand the signs and symptoms of acute stress disorder, the fight or flight syndrome, or the physiological effects of a traumatic event it is possible and even likely that they will misinterpret events, statements or reactions of officers that have been involved in a Critical Incident.

CRITICAL INCIDENT SEMINARS ARE DESIGNED FOR YOUR JURISDICTION.

Jerrald D.Conder, an attorney with more than 30 years experience representing law enforcement officers, has presented Critical Incident Seminars for the following Organizations:

The National Fraternal Order of Police (National Convention Virginia Beach Virginia), The Peace Officer Research Association of California (PORAC), The Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas (CLEAT), The Minneapolis Peace Officers Association, The New Mexico Association of Counties, The El Paso Peace Officers Association, The Idaho Highway Patrol, The Utah State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police, and many other local departments and agencies.

Seminars begin with a complete review of the Law and Critical Incident Protocol in your jurisdiction. If your jurisdiction does not have a defined Protocol we will offer suggestions and let you know how other jurisdictions address investigative protocol issues. (It is important for everyone to understand the investigative process following a critical incident-the seminar explains why.)

Seminars clearly explain officer’s rights and responsibilities following a Critical Incident. Legal cases are presented and discussed in easily understandable terms. The difference between Internal Affairs Investigations and Criminal Investigations are explained from the viewpoint of the officer that is being investigated. The award-winning movie “Code 1033 Officer-Needs Assistance” is utilized in every Critical Incident Seminar. Following seminars, officers will not only understand their legal rights and responsibilities but more importantly they will understand why it is important to rely on them. Departments will understand that it is in the Department’s best interest that the officer’s legal rights are protected and relied upon. Law Officer Guides presever the information presented in the seminar.

CERTIFICATION:
Seminars are qualified for continued education and training credit for law enforcement officers and attorneys. Seminars are 2-3 hours in duration depending on the needs of the sponsor. Seminars are tailored and presented to discuss the law of the jurisdiction where the training is conducted.
