Weeks 9 and 10 of Citizen Academy were action packed!   
  
On Week 9, Members from our Patrol and Corrections teams came together to demonstrate some tools deputies have in the jail and on patrol (and some of the times each tool might be used to gain compliance and/or prevent further injuries). After the overview, participants had the chance to practice firing training rounds and tasers at targets. Our team then ran through some scenario response training (role-playing scenarios) with participants to get a glimpse of the ongoing training and situations deputies are in every day. Willing participants had the chance to walk through a scenario such as a conflict in the jail or responding to a suspicious call. In each scenario participants acting as deputies had to try to de-escalate the situation. Afterwards they shared why they made the decisions they did, if they would have done anything differently, and wanted to know how our deputies would have handled the situation. Thanks, Patrol Sergeant Dougherty, Corrections Sergeant Stark, Lieutenant McDowall, Corporal Miller, Deputies DeHaan and Ceras for making the night possible!  
  
Week 10 started with a debrief from the prior week’s scenarios. Three of our Peer Support Members, Sergeant Stark, Sergeant Holmes, and Pretrial Specialist Yuson and Peer Support Coordinator Jess Palma held a Critical Incident Debriefing to demonstrate real-life response to incidents affecting our teams. Following the debrief, Patrol Commander Lt. Vertner led the team through a body-cam review of the incidents from week 9 and shared additional information on how our office handles stressful situation; emphasizing why consistent, continued training is vital. Palma then took the class through a deeper look at our robust wellness program. Wellness, resiliency, and support is vital for our team members -when they are at their best, they can do their best for our communities.
