Police Academy Train‐the‐Trainer: Considerations for Small Agency and Rural Response to Violence Against Women

The International Association of Chiefs of Police's Police Academy Train‐the‐Trainer: Considerations for Small Agency and Rural Response to Violence Against Women is for law enforcement instructors who are certified to train in a policy academy. This 4-week, interactive, virtual training offers a unique opportunity to:

• Enhance existing academy training curricula on law enforcement response  to violence against women crimes and co‐occurring and interconnected crimes, and the impact of trauma.
• Increase understanding of the additional challenges and complexities faced by small and rural agencies in responding to these crimes. 
• Strengthen presentation, facilitation, and classroom management skills. 
• Share successes, challenges, and solutions with law enforcement peers who train in the police academy.
