Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) (4 hours)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) publishes the LEOKA annual statistics regarding law-enforcement personnel feloniously killed, accidentally killed and assaulted while performing their duties. The objective of the LEOKA program is to assist law-enforcement personnel in the identification of training issues to prevent assaults, reduce injuries and prevent law-enforcement deaths. 

Below 100 (4 hours)

It’s been more than 65 years since the annual number of line-of-duty police deaths was fewer than 100. The Below 100 initiative will change that by concentrating on areas that can most effectively save officers' lives.  The five tenets of the Below 100 initiative are:  Wear Your Seatbelt, Watch Your Speed, Wear Your Vest, WIN-What's Important Now? and Remember: Complacency Kills!  This program, designed by nationally recognized experts in the field of law enforcement training Below 100 is not about statistics. It’s about each and every officer, trainer and supervisor taking individual and collective responsibility for the decisions and actions that contribute to safety.
