Community Response Teams
This course is designed to help community leaders create a community
member program in their community. These community teams assist
local police/fire departments in providing advocacy, support, and
assistance to members of the community and their families who are
victims of crime or who are in a crisis, and also to support fire and
emergency management at emergency scenes.
Conducting Successful Community Notifications
on Registered Sex Offenders
This course will cover the sex offender community notification
laws and ways to effectively communicate that information to your
community. The instructor will also address strategies for conducting
successful community notification meetings, how to use flyers
effectively, and juvenile offender information.
House of Worship Safety and Security Symposium
As we all know, worship locations are supposed to be sanctuaries of
peace and a place for us to reflect and repent, however lately there
has been a shift. Attacks on worship locations are becoming more
and more prevalent, one of the most effective ways to respond to
these threats is to get organized, have a plan and consider ways to
better secure your facility and its most valuable asset – your people!
Each year the college hosts the Annual Wisconsin House of Worship
Safety and Security Symposium where attendees range from church
leaders to law enforcement who come together to learn from others
on how we can detect and deter these threats in addition to reacting
in the event we are faced with one.
Municipal Code Enforcement
This course involves lectures, case studies, group projects, and hands-
on activities. The student will learn about ordinance enforcement,
including responding to complaints, proper investigation of code
violations, building a case file, serving inspection warrants and the
presentation of evidence in court. The process involved in drafting new
ordinances to address chronic problems in the community will also be
presented. The class will be provided with case studies and will apply
the skills learned to a final scenario.
Media Strategies for Law Enforcement
Public safety agencies and the media have had a long and storied
history. Given the very nature of our profession, it is invariable that
we will be the focus of a news story - some good and some not so
good. This class will cover tips and strategies on how to manage these
news stories and critical incidents as well as methods to get reporters
to cover the positive happenings at your agency. The course will also
feature a panel discussion with various media representatives, so
students can learn directly from them on what they are seeking.
Humane Officer
This course will offer real accounts of humane officer work and will
discuss crimes such as dogfighting, hoarding, neglect, and abuse.
Topics include the basics of taking evidence photographs and basic
report writing, when an animal can be removed from a property, and
how to recognize various forms of abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
Live, Love, Serve: Understanding the
Public Safety Profession
This course is designed to help new & veteran officers, students, and
family members understand the complex profession of a career in
law enforcement and will help them gain a better understanding
of the pitfalls that are not always taught in most police recruit
academies. Topics covered include post-traumatic stress disorder,
shiftwork, harassment from other officers, ethics, traumatic crime
scenes, personal relationships, substance abuse, field training, coping
mechanisms for stressors, finances, divorce, on-duty police deaths,
the debriefing process, suicide, and many more.
This course is also built in conjunction with helping families and
loved ones gain insight into “My Cop” and helps them see what we as
officers are going through before it happens. This is a class that is a
roller coaster of emotions. You may cry, you will laugh, and at times,
topics will be very serious. We will discuss the negative aspects of a
career in law enforcement, but also celebrate what a truly wonderful
profession this is. Families are encouraged to attend this training
with officers.
