TAA: Police Officer Shares Thoughts on Recent Ground-Breaking Intervention Class Taught to First Responders
Dr. Cali Estes, The Addictions Coach recently taught Addiction Training to First Responders in New Jersey! One officer shared his experience. Read on.
Hello Dr. Cali,
Thank you for the training, this was the best training class I have had in my law enforcement career. I have contacted Chief Kunz of Jackson twp. Police Department and Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Cornoto about this training already. I would like to see it in Ocean County soon. Also, I think it should be required in the police academies.
Thank you.
Officer Michael Grochowski, Jackson Police
“Our First Responder Intervention training is like no other on the market,” Dr. Estes said. “We saw a need for this type of training because as a culture we rely on the first responders for help when something goes wrong, but because of the stigma of what is expected of them they don’t have access to the same services that the rest of us do.”
The Addictions Academy has also trained the Miami-Dade Police department, Ft Lauderdale Firefighters and Paramedics and the First Responders in West Palm Beach.
To bring the team to your precinct, please call 1.800.706.038 ext. 2 and prepare for your training.
