COURSE
DESCRIPTION (2 days):
The OpTac International Death and
Officer-Involved Shootings Program will be held March 29-30,
2008, in Hagerstown, Maryland.
This program is designed
to provide critical information for law enforcement and military
officers that have been or could be exposed to traumatic
incidents. Death as it relates to crisis situations, disasters,
violent acts, and terrorist incidents, along with the corresponding
emotional and social issues will provide officers and supervisors
with realistic expectations. An emphasis is placed on coping
with the aftermath of violent acts that produce immediate
or delayed stress. Issues associated with murder, suicide,
police-involved suicide, and other events involving sudden
death, loss, and injury are covered. Death education, its
meaning, and reactions are presented to obtain a better understanding
of this process and controversial issue.
The cost to attend
the OpTac International Death and Officer-Involved Shootings
Program is $499 per person. There is limited space available,
therefore paid reservations will be accepted on a priority
basis.
