To render effective medical aid, you must have the proper equipment and know how to use it. Your tourniquet is an essential part of your equipment.

Maintaining a healthy diet can be difficult when working different shifts around the clock. Join Chief Lori Luhnow and Dr. Greg Huron in cooking demonstrations for healthful, delicious, protein-packed meals so that you have nutritious, on-the-go options prepared ahead of time to take with you when you hit the road.

The duty to intervene in a situation that involves excessive use of force by another officer is your responsibility as a sworn officer. Chief John Bouthillette, a lead instructor for the VALOR Program, and Mr. Bruce-Alan Barnard, a nationally renowned law enforcement legal educator, discuss the reality of what duty to intervene means for officers. You have no protection under the law for failing to intervene when you have the opportunity. You have a duty to intervene. Do not get caught in a moral or ethical dilemma.
