CPCA Partner Update :
CORDICO
Cordico Wellness Apps are now utilized by law
enforcement agencies across 22 states and Canada , with most of the remaining states planning to implement CordicoShield in the future . CordicoShield Apps are utilized by agencies of all sizes , including many of the largest law enforcement agencies in the United States , such as the California Highway Patrol and the Houston Police Department .
“ The CordicoShield Apps are continually updated by our app engineers and police psychologists to provide officers with the newest and best wellness tools , support resources , and high-tech features ,” said Dr . David Black , CEO of Cordico and Chief Psychologist of the CPCA Wellness Committee . “ It is an honor and privilege to serve California ’ s heroes , and our job is to help relieve their burdens . We take care of all of the app design , support , and updates , so law enforcement can focus on their jobs of keeping our communities safe . We are extremely service-focused and mission-driven .”
New features in the CordicoShield Wellness Apps include in-depth Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement videos ( Cordico is the exclusive technology partner of Dr . Kevin Gilmartin ), injury prevention videos hosted by a physical therapist who has worked with officers for more than 20 years , a new high-tech feature called CrisisAlert ®, and a specially designed module for officers working on ICAC task forces that provides tools for dealing with intrusive traumatic memories .
Dr . Black was inspired to redirect the focus of his career after witnessing the sacrifices and heroism of first responders on 9 / 11 / 2001 . “ My wife went to work for the FBI , and I went to serve first responders as a psychologist ,” said Dr . Black . “ My mission is to help as many of those serving on the front lines as possible , to the very best of my ability . Nothing is more important or inspiring .”
