The New York Law Enforcement Assistance Program (NYLEAP/www.nyleap.org) is proud to announce the delivery of the first of its kind, Post Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS) Administrator Level to assist NYS First Responder Administrators. Sponsored by the New York State Sheriff’s Association.
This FREE training seminar is designed to assist First Responder Administrators (rank of Lieutenant or above) that have been involved in on-duty critical incidents, suffer from cumulative career stress, or have been exposed to traumatic life events unrelated to their law enforcement career, and has had their life adversely affected as a result.
This is an Administrator Peer-based program, where peer-to-peer assistance will be accompanied by clinical staff, to assist the attendees with understanding best practices for Officer-Involved Critical Incidents, as well as finding healthy ways to cope with stress and manage PTSD. All Peers will be active or retired members that have obtained the rank of Lieutenant or above. The PCIS has been used successfully in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, as well as many other localities, to help our law enforcement and first responder communities understand and cope with the events that have adversely affected their lives.
