Exclusive Training Opportunities!
Does your department have more training needs than training budget? The Forensic Institute
for Research and Education (FIRE) is holding specialized online training programs
that are vastly different from anything you've ever experienced in law enforcement.
These workshops are appropriate for computer rookies and veterans alike, and since
they are offered online, they will allow officers the freedom to advance at their
own pace over a four week period. They will also allow departments to schedule training
time for officers that will not negatively impact budgets, overtime, or shift work.
Each interactive online workshop is taught by experienced law enforcement experts
and will be submitted for 24 hours POST approval.
Although there is no c
ost for the workshops, approval is required from your Sheriff, Chief, or Training
Director so that we can ensure your department's commitment to this program (24 hours
over a four week period). Don't miss this opportunity to experience an interactive
approach to cutting edge law enforcement training (most classes include interactive
crime scenes from actual case files!). Class sizes are limited to 15 participants,
so apply now!

Investigative Intelligence Analysis*
Course description: The officer will walk through the steps of the intelligence cycle
and participate in group exercises that allow the officer to apply what has been learned.
The intent is to provide an officer that has no intelligence background or training
an understanding of the fundamentals to plan, guide, and conduct intelligence operations
at a local law enforcement level. The course walks through the planning, collection,
analysis production, and dissemination of finished intelligence products. Throughout
the course, small groups are provided intelligence reporting. The group is required
to apply the current lesson and evaluate the information provided. The reporting builds
on itself into a culminating exercise in which the group must produce a finished intelligence
estimate of the current criminal activity.
- Instructor: TN Dept. of Safety and Homeland Security Intelligence Analyst Alan Feinstein - Bio

Crisis Intervention for Law Enforcement*
Course description: Communities around the United States have identified the need
to have teams of individuals that bring special skills in dealing with and helping
people in crisis. The goal is to refer individuals to proper community resources rather
than incarceration. Officers will learn about Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) and
their practical application to the role of law enforcement. Officers will develop
an understanding of how the CIT program works and how it fits into the department's
patrol and jail operation. Officers will also learn how to interact with persons in
psychiatric crisis, learn how certain techniques may safely defuse potentially violent
encounters. The state and community mental health system will be discussed to provide
officers with the necessary resources to help mental health consumers in crisis access
community-based services.
