Whether the job has been grinding you down and you’re struggling to find energy or self-improvement is your primary goal and you want to learn step-by-step techniques to succeed, you can’t miss this training.

January 28, 2025 | 8a-12p class A | 1p-5 Class b

*Group tickets available at checkout

Training Schedule: 8a-5p

Class A: 8a-12p - Controlling the Mind & the Machine (TAC-102)

Course description:

Outside-of-the-box wellness training that focuses on increasing resilience by guiding officers through evidence-based recovery techniques.

Officers who have taken the training have reported feelings of “inspiration, motivation, and hope” after using evidence based training aids, nervous system regulating techniques and hands-on guided stretches that help reduce chronic pain from injuries and gear.

Now THAT is wellness!

TacMobility Training Objectives:

  • De-mystify mental health stigmas to increase individual wellness engagement and potentially department resource participation.

  • Face wellness challenges head-on with engaging visuals that explain the neuroscience behind the human threat system: fight or flight.

  • Peer discussions about real-life policing situations to practice emotional intelligence and de-escalation techniques in a safe environment.

  • Interactive role-playing scenarios using cold exposure to re-create Fight or Flight response. Students are guided through practical tools and coping skills for high-stress situations.

  • Practice emotional intelligence by utilizing Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotion to help students identify and categorize their feelings with the assistance of peer observation.

  • 60 minutes of hands-on mobility techniques that improve mobility, flexibility, mood and isolation.

  • Follow-Up Resources for students to feel supported and to connect with other law enforcement officers who prioritize wellness.

Class B: 1p-5p - Burnout Recovery For First Responders (TAC-102)

Course Description:

Many people don’t think about it but, you can burnout doing what you love and especially doing what you hate. Burnout has to do with energy going out of the body and not enough (or equal amounts of) energy coming back into the body. The solution to first responder burnout is to replenish the body through recovery.

TacMobility Training Objectives:

  • Neuroscience of Stress: Dive into the science behind fight-or-flight responses, then identify personal burnout levels through peer discussions and worksheets. You’ll leave with a customized energy-recovery plan.

  • Sustainable Health: Practice lowering heart rate variability for long-term health and recovery.

  • Practice emotional intelligence by utilizing Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotion to help students identify and categorize their feelings with the assistance of peer observation.

  • 90-Minute Recovery Session: Experience 90 minutes of rehabilitative stretching, nervous system regulation, and deep breathing. Most students in previous courses asked for longer mobility sessions, so we’ve expanded this portion to give you what you need to recover.

  • Follow-Up Resources for students to feel supported and to connect with other law enforcement officers who prioritize wellness.
