Are you, your agency, and your family fully prepared to navigate the emotional aftermath of a critical incident…a line-of-duty death, an officer suicide, an officer-involved shooting, a mass casualty event, even a departmental scandal?

What is your personal and departmental plan for ensuring the shockwaves that follow don’t cause long-term, potentially lifelong, damage? Do you have one?

This FREE Webinar, sponsored by Vector Solutions, will feature CIT Coordinator and Law Enforcement Mental Health Expert, Nick Greco and Certified Crisis Intervention Specialist II, Sgt. Alexandra Nelson.

These content-experienced experts will discuss among other things:

• Key elements virtually all post-critical incident survival plans share and why.
• Providing and receiving mental health support: What’s best and for how long?
• Why LE leaders play the biggest role in preserving—or damaging—officers’ emotional well-being.
• How to determine what post-critical incident plan will work for your agency, and what likely won’t.
• Why “controlling the narrative”—what’s being said (or not being said) about your agency and officers—is crucial to critical incident recovery.
• Common mistakes agencies make after a critical incident that pre-planning can avoid.
• What to do when another agency/officer experiences a critical incident. What should you watch for? What can you learn?
• Examples of agencies that have done things right after a critical incident.
