Tactical Resilience; An Officer Wellness Training Program

Tactical Resilience Officer Wellness equips officers with information and techniques to enhance well-being and operational effectiveness in high intensity work. The course is tailored to the law enforcement challenges, communities, and conditions, offering participants capacity-building skills and resources to increase their resiliency and overall sense of well-being.

Throughout this training, instructors emphasize and explore mindfulness-based strategies designed to increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and situational awareness contextualized for officer sustainability, safety, and survival. Participants learn about the neurobiology and physiology of stress and trauma and acquire tools and resources to mitigate the physical, mental, and social consequences from their law enforcement roles.

Instructors offer information and techniques from various sources for ongoing self and group practices and/or studies to support individual and force health and fitness beyond the formal Tactical Resilience training. Adult Learning Principles and experiential learning are featured throughout this training.

Participants can expect a training format that blends lecture, the use of visual aids, small and larger group discussions, movement, and exercises throughout the program.

This course meets the State of California requirements for both STC and POST Certification.
