Rural communities can face many challenges when developing and delivering crisis response programs for people with behavioral health conditions and intellectual and developmental disabilities, including wide geographic areas to serve, limitations in options for local treatment and social services, and resource constraints related to funding and staffing.
In collaboration with the Putnam County, West Virginia Sheriff's Office, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) will host the two-day IACP Enhancing Rural Law Enforcement Response to Violence Against Women training event on December 10th – 11th 2019. This training event is free to attend. Please register by December 6, 2019.
Law enforcement (all ranks) and dispatch/communications professionals serving rural jurisdictions will be given priority registration.
