action over awareness
Our curriculum is built on actionable strategies, not just awareness. We delve deep into practical techniques and exercises designed to prevent or significantly reduce the impact of stress and trauma. It’s not about if bad things will happen; it’s about when, and if you’re mentally prepared to face and transcend them.
6 Common Agency Problems
We have developed an integrated, frictionless, call to call training program that creates a sustainable agency culture to address all six of the most common stressors experienced by organizations like yours.
Retention
Tactical Longevity's Anti-Fragility program enhances retention by providing officers with skills to transform workplace challenges into pathways for personal and professional advancement.
Officer Engagement
The program enhances officer engagement through dynamic training that fosters a sense of purpose, belonging, and investment in their roles and the mission of the agency.
Under-Performance
By targeting the roots of underperformance, which often are based in how we think about what we experience, the Anti-Fragility mindset helps officers overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
Morale
Tactical Longevity’s approach improves morale by creating a supportive culture from the ground up, one that values growth through hardship, recognizes achievements in spite of constant adversity, and empowers officers to take pride in their ability to thrive in challenging times.
Community Relationships
The program strengthens community relationships by equipping officers with the tools they need to be able to maintain empathy in the face of stress, improve communication skills and hence the ability to connect quickly with citizens, and listen to community needs so they can respond thoughtfully.
Recruitment
Bolster your recruitment efforts by showcasing a commitment to officer development and well-being, attracting candidates eager to join a forward-thinking and supportive law enforcement agency.
implementation for impact
EDUCATE RECRUITS
We must teach new officers how to think, not what to think. By focusing on anti-fragility from the very beginning by giving recruits exposure to the general content immediately post-academy, and embedding it into their field training exposures, we lay the groundwork for enduring mental fortitude.
ON BOARD YOUR FIELD TRAINERS
Our training approach embeds an anti-fragile mindset in recruits via their Field Trainers. Similar to reviewing officer safety from call-to-call, we establish a new standard for how to think about stress using proven thought processes and frameworks that are validated for reducing the impact of negative events. This method fosters a culture where adaptability and resilience become second nature.
Ongoing development
Our approach extends beyond traditional training methods. We are in the business of creating cultural change, not just one-and-done programs. We incorporate our content into our app, not just with passive videos, but with active exercises your members can access at anytime, anywhere. We also offer specialized classes targeting First Line Supervisors with our Supervisor School, we offer a Command Leadership Course, and even coaching calls to foster personalized problem-solving and program development. These are all intended to guarantee the principles are practiced every day. This holistic method ensures the anti-fragile mindset becomes a core part of departmental culture, enhancing resilience and adaptability across all levels.
