### **COPS Office Training Portal Adds New e-Learning Opportunities and Resources**

April 2020 | Volume 13 | Issue 4

Tight budgets and limited time shouldn’t stand in the way  of critical training needs. That’s why more and more law enforcement  professionals are turning to the COPS  Office Training Portal for online learning opportunities and digital resources.

Everyone from individual officers to entire departments  can train and learn at their own pace, at no cost! And with a constantly  expanding library of courses and resources, there’s something for everyone  interested in taking their knowledge and skills to the next level. 

In the last few months, the following e-learning training  opportunities have been added to the Portal:
          - **Active  Attack Event Response Leadership**  The goal of this course is to provide leaders in first response and  emergency management agencies with strategic leadership and integrated response  strategies that will prepare them to not only “stop the killing” but to also  “stop the dying” in active attack events.
          - **Civilian  Response to Active Shooter Events Train-the-Trainer**  This course helps prepare civilians with immediate response options for  surviving an active attack event during the window of time before law  enforcement responders arrive on the scene. 
          - **After-Action  Review and Reporting: An Introduction**  In an effort to help organizations better understand the role of  after-action reviews as a credible learning tool, this course provides law  enforcement leaders with an overview of the after-action process, including  ways to organize and communicate the findings of a formal or informal review.
          - **Preventing  Problems by Promoting Positive Practices**  This highly interactive 60-minute course is designed to provide School  Resource Officers (SROs) with an innovative school climate model and school  climate enhancement practices. It covers research-based and practice-informed  strategies to manage implicit biases, respond to youth behavior, restore  relationships after conflicts, and much more.  
          - Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Training            Four new training opportunities from the National Alliance for Drug  Endangered Children are now available. The courses help law enforcement  professionals develop an awareness of the issues associated with DEC and provide  strategies for managing them. The topics covered include  **an  overview of DEC** ,  **prenatal  threats** ,  **postnatal  risks** , and  **long-term outcomes** . 

Four **multimedia  resource libraries** on Tribal Policing, Elder Justice, Human Trafficking,  and Hate Crimes have also recently been added to the site. Here you’ll find articles,  videos, podcasts, and other digital content you can use in your own training  and professional development initiatives. 

          In the coming months, be on the lookout for new content on  topics such as drones, drug endangered children, veteran de-escalation, school  safety, officer safety, crime reduction, and much more. In the meantime, sign  up for one of the **10 e-learning  courses and training support packages******currently available at no  cost to you and your colleagues:
