SUMMARY:Below 100 Intensive Training
DESCRIPTION:Below 100 is a national officer safety initiative that aims to reduce annual line of duty deaths to below 100\, a number not seen since 1943.  The United States has averaged over 150 officers killed per year in the last ten years. Together\, we can bring that number to below 100.  We have identified five key tenets by which we can improve officer safety and prevent unnecessary Line of Duty Deaths: Wear your seatbelt; Wear your vest; Watch your speed; WIN! – What’s Important Now?; and Complacency Kills!  These areas are where each law enforcement officer can make a difference.   This is one of the most important Officer Safety training programs offered to law enforcement today.  Below 100 isn’t just about statistics – It’s about each and every officer\, supervisor and leaders taking individual and collective responsibility for the decisions and actions that contribute to officer and public safety. \nINSTRUCTOR:        Corporal Geoffrey T.

SUMMARY:Building a Cohesive Leadership Team Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Lt. Joseph Pangaro (Ret.) \nPangaro Training a Division of IP Video and True Security \nwww.ipvideocorp.com/truesecuritydesign \n  \nDear Chief; \nThank you for your trust in Pangaro Training.  It is a privilege to teach the men and women of law enforcement who serve our communities.   \nA few years ago\, I had the opportunity to take part in a very unique leadership program offered by Peak Performance Consulting.  As a former police executive\, I know how important it is to have the leadership team of any agency function as an efficient and productive team where all the members contribute to reach the goals of the agency. While this is a great idea\, it is not always easy to achieve.  \nThis is where I found great value in the executive training program “The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team” presented by Ms. Kiki Orski of Peak Performance. I believe every law enforcement agency would benefit from this training.  It is especially important in this day of accreditation for agencies to continue the professional development of their executive team.  \nWe are offering a free 2-hour executive training to you.  During this program you will be offered effective ways you can build a truly cohesive and effective leadership team. You will also have an opportunity to discuss any challenges your team may be experiencing and learn ways to mitigate those challenges.    \nPlease join us on April 1\, 2020 from 9am- 11am at Ocean County Police Academy \n for the program: Building a Cohesive Leadership Team.  \nAlong with training materials\, we provide coffee and danish.    \nPlease RSVP to kpangaro@truesecuritydesign.com or call 732-779-3406 with the names of those to attend so we can have certificates the day of class.  Unfortunately\, we only have room for 8 agencies to attend\, so please RSVP as soon as possible.    \nAgain\, thank you for your continued support.  I hope you can attend to take advantage of one of the best programs I have ever participated in. We look forward to seeing you on April 1\, 2020. \nLt. Joseph Pangaro (Ret.) CPM\, CSO  \n732-600-8976 \nFive Behaviors Program Overview Flyer
