Below 100: Train the Trainer 8:00 am till 4:00 pm

Manteno Fire Department 13 S Walnut St, Manteno, IL 60950

Wednesday, September 5, 2018

Course Description: (Morning Session); Over the course of the last ten years, more than 150 law enforcement officers, on average, have died each year in the line-of-duty. Law enforcement is a dangerous profession and there will always be line-of-duty deaths at the hands of evil people. Unfortunately, too many officer deaths are due to “accidents” attributable to otherwise preventable circumstances. In fact, the number of deaths due to accidents has actually been higher in some years than the number of deaths due to felonious assault. The Below 100 initiative was started in 2011, with the mission of reducing line-of-duty police officer deaths to less than 100 per year through the targeting of common behaviors, practices, and mindsets that often lead to such tragedies.

Issues to be addressed in this program include:

• Wearing seat belts and maintaining safe vehicle speeds

• Wearing body armor

• The power of What’s Important Now (W.I.N.)

• The threat of complacency

Officers of all ranks are encouraged to attending this highly intensive 4-hour class.

Train the Trainer Afternoon Session: (Morning and Afternoon) This 8-hour presentation includes the High Level Overview program (4 hours) and an afternoon Train-the-Trainer portion which will equip trainers to conduct risk assessments, examine policy and make changes if necessary, and present the Below 100 program within their own agencies. Topics to be addressed include the following:

• Challenges inherent to police culture and effecting organizational change

• Wearing seat belts and maintaining safe vehicle speeds • Wearing body armor • The power of What’s Important Now (W.I.N.) • The threat of complacency • Basics of the Below 100 PowerPoint presentation

Students will be provided with all related materials, including the High Level Overview and supporting items such as sample policies, posters, videos, and relevant supporting articles. Typically, an outline and electronic access to all relevant files will be provided.

PLEASE NOTE: Officers wishing to attend this Train-the-Trainer program MUST attend the Below 100 High Level Overview program conducted during the morning session.
