For over 25 years the Calibre Press "Street Survival" seminar has been the ultimate police training experience. We have assembled a dynamic team of police trainers who will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire two days. The Street Survival seminar will motivate, inspire, and teach officers not only to survive but to WIN! VCOPS' offers GRANTS for tuition to these valuable seminars.

Street Survival Seminars will help you:

	Develop the values, inner strength & winning mind-set you need to keep yourself motivated, effective and safe on the street.
	Gain valuable insight into new less-lethal options available to you.
	Learn to use crisis rehearsal and mental preparation strategies to prepare yourself for virtually any situation you may face on the job...or off.
	Prepare yourself and your family to take immediate, potentially life-saving action during an unexpected off-duty encounter.
	Overcome the "routine" nature of the job and avoid one of the deadliest enemies in law enforcement: Complacency.
	Navigate the frustrations of working within a bureaucracy & the stress of working your beat.
	Develop the perceptive skills needed to effectively hunt terrorists in your own back yard.
	Gain the mental edge you need to survive and WIN.

DROPPING THE HAMMER SEMINARS

Officers in Richmond, Chesterfield County, Powhatan, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Chesapeake and the Virginia State Police received training on how to survive an officer involved shooting at seminars in Richmond and Virginia Beach on August 4th and 5th 2009. This valuable seminar received DCJS accreditation for in-service training. This training was hosted and sponsored by VCOPS, the IBPO and local police unions in the two communities. The photos below give a glimpse of the events. Check out http://www.virginiacops.org/Articles/Shooting/shoot.htm to learn more about how you can be smarter if you are involved in a police shooting.
