The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in collaboration with the Florida Police Chief’s Association, Florida Sheriff’s Association and other Florida state agencies are proud to announce the delivery of the Post Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS) #3.

This FREE seminar will be offered to any sworn officers in the State of Florida including, but not limited to: FDLE Agents, FWC Officers, FHP Troopers, other State Officers and Agents, Sheriff’s Deputies, and Officers from Police Department’s. Spouses/significant others, 911 Telecommunicators and Crime Scene personnel are also invited to attend. The seminar, as well as lodging and meals are provided at NO COST to the participant or the agency. This seminar is designed to assist First Responders that have been involved in on-duty critical incidents, suffer from cumulative career stress, or have been exposed to traumatic life events unrelated to their law enforcement career, and has had their life adversely affected as a result. This is a peer-based program, where peer-to-peer assistance will be accompanied by culturally competent clinical staff, to assist the attendees in finding healthy ways to cope with stress. All peers are either active or retired First Responders, or spouses of First Responders (Spouse Peers).

The PCIS has been used successfully in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio, as well as several other states, to help our law enforcement communities understand and cope with the events that have adversely affected their lives.

This seminar is not just for those individuals that have experienced major traumatic events, but also for individuals who have experienced trauma across a career.
