Resiliency. Mental Health. Crisis Intervention. De-escalation.
These are all buzzwords of modern policing, but how are they being implemented? Today's episode features Dr. Dara Rampersad of BluePaz - an organization committed not only to teaching officers to work with people in crisis, but how to work through their own crisis. Dr. Dara has been instrumental in implementing Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for agencies like Maui County and Kauai Police Department in Hawaii, as well as establishing a CIT program specific to hospital security staff. Dr. Dara's company, BluePaz, seeks to provide first responders with the tools to succeed in their 25+ year career through training and education. Find Dr. Dara on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram @drdarabluepaz, or online at www.bluepaz.com.
If you are an officer in need of mental health counseling, don't wait! We need you and your community needs you. As always,
Stay safe, and I'll see you on the road.
