In this training program, we talk with Sgt. Adam Plantinga of the San Francisco Police Department. He is a 17 year veteran of law enforcement and has authored two books dealing with police and policing.

In Part II, corrections expert Gary Cornelius provides viewers and students with vitally important information related to how cons and criminals use social media to try to get over on law enforcement both inside and outside penal institutions. Gary points out that “..cell phones are better than gold…” to criminals, because they provide a window to not only the outside world but also provide huge opportunities for them to communicate with others also in incarcerated settings.

In this training program, we talk with Dr. Andrew Dennis about surviving wounds; whether it is a gunshot, knife wound, etc. He states that what people see on television cop shows isn’t very accurate when it comes to being shot and the ability to survive that wound. One shot to the chest doesn’t mean that you are dead or are going to die. Street cops need to know that even if they do get shot, in many instances they can stay in the fight and survive.

This program provides officers and investigators crucial information and knowledge they will need when coming across or investigating potential instances of elder abuse.

In this training program, we discuss the topic of suicide among law enforcement officers and first-responders. This problem has reached what some are calling epidemic proportions.

Law enforcement officers are often in situations that mere mortals could only imagine, or, perhaps, would not want to imagine.  There can and will be life-and-death situations, and sometimes such decisions need to be made in mere seconds or even fractions of seconds. However, officers are also placed in potential life-and-death situations that allow them to slow things down and truly make choices that can impact lives.

In this training program, we talk with Retired Lieutenant Randy Sutton of the Las Vegas (NV) Police Department. He is also a Technical Advisor for In the Line of Duty. This program features great life-saving and career-saving lessons from one of America’s most-decorated officers. The program has been structured into short, classroom-ready segments.

This program features a vast amount of information for officers who will, likely, deal with edged-weapons’ wielders during their career. It includes a plethora of crucial teaching points about the most common mistakes an officer (or human being) will most often make when confronted by such subjects.

The Amazing Journey of Sgt. Mark DiBona- Part II is a continuation of Part I, and includes specifics for establishing a successful peer-to-peer support program, the critical nature of having a program, and exactly who departments should name to head up their programs.  Also, Part II has detailed information for traumatic incident debriefings.

An Alabama officer, whose dream from childhood was to become a cop, had his dream shattered when he is knifed to death in a jail sally port after a missed pat down. The tragic events of that day all began at a Dollar General store and a bizarre attempt at robbery by arson. Veteran officers said they had never seen anything like it. The incidents of that day ended as a tragic lesson on why you can never be too careful.
