“Training is the foundation of law enforcement. Training is constant, ongoing, and can never cease as we strive to do this job safely and effectively. Our profession has mandated training to maintain the minimum requirements to do the job. We receive additional training in firearms, investigations, de-escalation and a myriad of other areas as our career progresses. What we do not receive is training on how to manage the stress of the things we are called upon do see and do in our line of work. The FREEdom First Aid Process is the first class I have taken that shows us the skills we need to maintain our minds and souls personally and professionally. This class is a must for everyone in this career, from the academy graduate to the seasoned deputy. Whether it is the trauma from critical incidents or the accumulated toll of stress, the FREEdom First Aid Process℠ and the Chaplain’s message are powerful tools every deputy should have.”
