Safety Officer Training
"Protect Intellect!"
There is a need for Safety Officer Training for recognizing different neurological processes and behavior.
- Mental Illness
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Developmentally Disabled
- PTSD
- Stroke
- Drunk & Disorderly
- Illegal Drugs
Advocates stress the need for better training and awareness among law enforcement to distinguish TBI symptoms from mental health issues and to provide appropriate support, rather than escalating the situation unnecessarily. In the last 10 years, many States have instituted Training for TBI.
117th Congress (2021-2022)
“Wounded Warriors” has found the signature injuries in the Iraq & Afghanistan wars are TBI & PTSD. It requires the government to solicit recommendations from health and veteran groups for how best to interact with people suffering from TBI or PTSD.
The measure provides $270 million over five years for a new training program to help law enforcement and other first responders better recognize and respond to individuals suffering from these two conditions. The National “Online Site” is to be produced by the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance for distribution by the CDC, and added to the Police Mental Health Toolkit.
TBIRA is taking the INITIATIVE to Produce Police Training in our AWARENESS site.
