Kentucky State Police Academy

Through this training, dispatchers will become equipped to de-escalate and produce an optimal alliance with the Seriously Mentally Ill/Suicidal caller; gather high value (science- based) data about the caller’s mental status and suicide/homicide risk factors utilizing the LifeBridges Guiding FlexProtocol™; and transmit this assessment data to field responders for improved scene safety management.

This 3-day training meets an increasing demand by 911 leaders given a corresponding increase in violent confrontations between police and those with mental illness, including “suicide-by-cop”.
