Mental Health Training

Mental-health calls require patience, awareness, and strong communication skills. This category highlights training that helps officers recognize behavioral cues, understand underlying conditions, and manage encounters safely. Officers learn how to de-escalate emotional situations while maintaining awareness of potential threats and legal considerations.

Programs explore mood disorders, psychosis, trauma, developmental disabilities, and the impact of substance use. Instructors offer guidance on approaching individuals with dignity while still gathering the information needed to determine the appropriate course of action. Officers also learn how to coordinate with mental-health professionals, hospitals, and crisis-response partners.

When departments invest in mental-health training, they reduce injuries, build community trust, and improve outcomes for individuals in crisis. This category supports officers as they navigate some of the most sensitive interactions in policing.
