Event Overview
The NLERS Focus on Safety Live Series is a set of six live, interactive 90-minute training sessions that take a closer look at core safety topics covered in the NLERS Executive and Patrol courses, with time set aside for Q&A with our subject matter experts. These sessions build on a single subject area, from roadside scene control and pursuit decision-making to seat belt use, driver fatigue, and everyday distractions behind the wheel. Sessions in this series include:
- August 10: Preventing Struck-By Incidents – Risks, Visibility, and Scene Control
- September 3: Pursuits and Speed Decisions – Think First, Accelerate Second
- October 6: Staying Focused Behind the Wheel – Minding What Matters
- November 3: Running on Empty – Fatigue and Driving Risk in Law Enforcement
- December 3: Seat Belts Aren’t the Enemy – Clearing Up Dangerous Misconceptions About PPE
- January 7, 2027: Building a Culture of Safety – “Safety First” Isn’t a Slogan. It’s a Behavior.
Each session combines practical guidance with real-world scenarios, giving officers and supervisors the tools to reinforce safety practices long after training ends.
