Training Delivery - Phone (teleconference)

Chris is reaching out to schedule a phone call with representatives from Akron PD to gauge interest in a trauma-informed approach training in Ohio. Once a phone conversation is held, if the grantee is interested, SAKI TTA will begin working with RAINN representatives to ensure sufficient and effective planning of the training is maintained. The training might be a combination of in-person and virtual delivery depending on preference of the trainer and trainees.

Task force liaison and IACP consultant, Erin Albright, holds monthly calls with all of the ECM funded task force coordinators to discuss challenges, successes, etc.

Through this reporting period (July-September 2020), the task force liaisons conducted monthly calls with their assigned task forces to receive updates from the task force and provide TTA based upon their updates. Following each call, liaisons complete a survey providing updates on the task force. These surveys are then compiled into a report (which is entered on the reporting portal as a separate deliverable entry). Monthly calls are also held with IACP and the ECM Task Force Liaisons to provide updates, go over any major questions, and check-in on the status of their task forces.
