This one-half day workshop, hosted by the Vestavia Hills Police Department, will be held Thursday, February 27, at 8:30 a.m. Productivity and results in the new culture of law enforcement requires more than rank and demand for obedience. It requires the ability to inspire, motivate and empower. In this three-hour workshop, attendants will learn from instruction, peer interaction and real-life application to departmental situations. This session will be co-led by John Gaskins and Dr. Manuel Zarate.<\/p>\n

Registration Opens March 1 For Our Spring Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us for our spring conference Thursday, April 23, 2020, from 8:30 a.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m. at the Bessemer Civic Center. Jim Bontrager, a veteran law enforcement instructor, communicator and U.S. Marine will present Sun Tzu and the Office Resiliency Mindset \u201cPsychological Resiliency Principles for Modern Day Policing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general and tactician born in 544 B.C. A brilliant strategist, he authored the epic war tome, The Art of War, required reading for the CIA, U.S. Military Intelligence and the Marine Corps Reading Program. Sun Tzu specialized in tactics that equipped an inferior force to defeat a superior one. Employing such principles as using deception, carefully accommodating yourself to your enemy\u2019s purposes, exploiting your enemy\u2019s disposition, baiting his forces to conquer them through ambush and ideally breaking their resistance without fighting was the primary goal. This training will examine how these same tactics are used to destroy law enforcement officer\u2019s psychological well-being. We will identify the deceptions employed against officers, the ways evil accommodates itself to the profession, the baits offered to lure officers and the sobering reality of success in getting them to quit without a fight. This course will share \u201crubber meet the road\u201d strategies that will armor up warriors psychologically, fortifying them against defeat!<\/p>\n

Registration opens March 1. To register, go to bluewatchfoundation.org. You will receive 7 hours of APOST training for this event.<\/p>\n
