Topic: Overview of Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT)

"ICAT is a training that provides first-responding police officers with tools, skills, and options for successfully and safely defusing a wide range of critical incidents. ICAT takes the essential building blocks of critical thinking, crisis intervention, communications, and tactics, and puts them together in an integrated approach to training." We will briefly discuss what the course entails and how the Salem Police Department is beginning to implement and embed it throughout our training disciplines.

The Journey to Midnight
Presented by Matt Griffin
The 2022 Annual Conference included Matt Griffin telling his personal story in his presentation titled, The Journey to Midnight. As a national speaker, mentor, and consultant, Matt wants to change the culture around mental health and police, members of the military, Emergency Services, and Fire Fighters. The very people protecting society are the ones least likely to get the help they need and deserve because of a culture that stigmatizes PTSD, compassion burnout, and addiction. He didn’t just find love and the light. He found God. And now he wants to make sure other officers, emergency services personnel, and veterans know they’re loved, there’s light, and suicide is not the answer.
This 1.5 hour presentation can be found in the "F6|Mental Health/CIT" package on the Training Center.
