Tuesday, September 16th, 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Many agencies make the mistake of treating training as a box to check, meeting minimum standards without building operational readiness. This first session in our two-part series is brought to you in partnership with NAFTO and Jennifer Hall, Executive Board Member at NAFTO, where we’ll explore training as a life-saving, trust-building mission and give you the foundational tools to plan next year with purpose.
We’ll dive into how to determine your actual training needs for 2026 using after-action reviews, officer input, and local incident data—then show how to translate those insights into a realistic annual plan that balances mandated compliance, operational priorities, and scheduling reality.
What you’ll learn:
- How to move beyond “minimum standard” training toward operational readiness
- Methods to identify skill gaps via AARs, officer feedback, and local data
- A flexible, quarterly/shift-based planning approach that prevents year-end rushes
- Tracking practices that promote accountability, fairness, and data-driven adjustments
