The ability to respond to individuals with disabilities has posed varying challenges to police officers across the country. High profile cases have exposed the need for more involved awareness and education regarding the characteristics and challenges some individuals pose. As the population increases and more individuals are active in the community, the need to ensure accurate and appropriate response is critical. Studies show that 50-80% of an officer’s encounters are with an individual with a disability while individuals with disabilities are seven times more the victim of a crime.
This presentation brings together an education on disabilities while enhancing sensitivity. Included in this are disabilities defined and appropriate response, characteristics and how to identify disabilities, the role of caregivers and service providers, candid video instruction, federal and municipality roles and responsibilities, the perspective of the disability community, victimization, challenging scenarios and behaviors and how to address them, current trends and topics, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and etiquette and interaction skills. An extensive amount of resources will also be provided.
Course Objectives/Topics Covered:
• Progressive approaches to addressing emergency situations
• Disabilities defined specific to law enforcement
• Challenging behaviors and responsiveness
• Victimization and the disabled
• Service provision and supports/developing collaborative relationships

• Proper etiquette and interaction skills
Instruction will be taught by David Whalen. Dave is the Project Director for First Responder Disability Awareness Training. He has been training a multitude of service providers and first responders in disability awareness for the past seven years and has been working in the field of disability service/education since 1986.

Fentanyl has quickly become one of the most dangerous and challenging drug- related threats to communities and law enforcement officials across the United States. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate used as a surgical anesthetic or as a narcotic to treat chronic and severe pain.

It’s characterized by the CDC as an “incapacitating agent,” and provides a substantial risk to law enforcement.
Many law enforcement officers are not aware of these risks and the results can be deadly. If this isn’t scary enough, add Carfentanil to the list of cutting agents used with heroin. Carfentanil is upwards of 100 times stronger than regular fentanyl and fatal to humans. Today more than ever, law enforcement needs to prepare themselves to deal with this risk.
Topics Covered:
• Why Fentanyl
• Risks to Law Enforcement
• Recognition and Awareness
• Symptoms of Exposure
• Response to Accidental Exposure
• Overdoes Death Investigations
• Preservation of Evidence during Active Investigation both on patrol and Undercover operations
• Packaging and Distribution methods

TRAUMA - Dutchess Co.
Trauma Resources and Unified Management Assistance (TRAUMA)
LE Suicide Prevention, PTSD Identification/Treatment, Peer Support Program Development
A career as a law enforcement officer can be highly rewarding. At the same time, officers are faced with many extreme stressors and critical incidents throughout their careers that are an integral part of their work environment. The effects of being immersed in such an environment can incur certain costs. It can take its toll on the individual, their career and their home life. Left unaddressed, this can ultimately lead to suicide.
The number of incidents involving law enforcement suicide and the number of officers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Career Cumulative Traumatic Stress are not in decline. While numerous courses address the tactics and procedures of law enforcement, this unique program addresses the issues that attack our law enforcement officers from the inside. It will address topics and openly discuss subjects that have rarely, if ever, been presented in an open forum.
The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), Office of Public Safety is pleased to announce a new date for the Trauma Resources and Unified Management Assistance (T.R.A.U.M.A.) Training.
This FREE two-day class will be offered: March 20-21, 2019 in Dutchess County
The target audience of this course is law enforcement (including police, corrections, parole and probation officers), law enforcement/corrections executives, military members with PTSD concerns and service providers involved with LE/military personnel with stress related concerns. Family members of LEO's and Veterans are also encouraged to attend.
We also welcome/encourage the following groups to attend this training: LE family members (Adult), Military Veteran’s (with or w/o Law Enforcement experience), EMS, Fire Services, Dispatchers, retired LEO’s and those clinical/counseling personnel who currently work/would like to work in a counseling capacity with LEO clientele.
The training has three primary objectives. The first is suicide prevention and identifying/obtaining treatment options for those who may be suffering from PTSD. Our panel of presenters will share their real life experiences with suicide, PTSD and cumulative career stress. Their stories have helped many attendees identify and understand feelings and issues they have been suffering with and identify counseling and/or treatment options to help them return to a more “normal” and functional life.
The second objective is to assist agencies with providing support services to their officers for stress management and critical incident stress. Attendees will learn how to initiate the development of Police Peer Support programs within their agencies and county and to identify those individuals who might serve as Police Peers. The development and implementation process of the Western New York Police Helpline will be highlighted as a model during this training.
The third objective is to assist agency executives in developing a plan for the worst case scenario – an officer’s death. While there are many difficult challenges for law enforcement executives to deal with, few, if any, are as difficult as dealing with a line of duty death. There are many different components involved in being properly prepared to handle such a tragic event within a law enforcement agency. Among the topics covered will be planning funeral arrangements, notifications, family care, obtaining all available death benefits and providing any follow up counseling needs within the department.
Subject matter will include:
• Police suicide awareness/prevention and screening (warning signs)
• Importance and effectiveness of Law Enforcement Peer Support
• Guidelines on development of a peer support program
• Available benefits and programs of:
How Line of Duty Death preparation affects surviving family members
• Causes and treatment of law enforcement Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• What Career Cumulative Traumatic Stress is and its prevalence in LE
• How LE suicide impacts surviving families and department members
• Importance of line of duty death/funeral preparation
• Resources, templates, best practices guidelines for use in policy development
