Event Overview

This four-day in-person workshop covers community-oriented policing, the role of the school-based officers, and an introduction to Law Related Education (LRE) as an essential prevention tool. Day 1 begins with Leadership 100, where School Resource Officers and Juvenile Probation Officers attend training with other grantees (administrators, CSWs, and officers). Day 2 covers child and brain development, trauma-informed practices, and best practices for officers in schools. Days 3 and 4 take participants on a deep dive into Law Related Education, providing officers with classroom management techniques, space to share ideas and lesson plans, and knowledge of learning styles. Day 4 will also include working with students in special education. Officers leave with resources and tools ready to teach in the classroom. 

Please NOTE: All Officers will register for both New Officer Training and Leadership 100 in the Law for Kids website under “New Officer Training”. It is ONE registration for all four days. Do not register separately for Leadership 100. Registering for New Officer Training will automatically register you for Leadership 100.
