Uniting for effective mass casualty response: Law enforcement, fire and EMS trade trainers
Law enforcement officers may be first on scene to a mass casualty incident (MCI) and depending on the size, it may be overwhelming. Are we prepared to see the unthinkable? Do we know what our priorities should be? Do we know what our opposite numbers in fire, EMS and other responding agencies are doing?
Our guests today have an answer to each of those questions. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by Staccato, host Jim Dudley speaks with Dr. Peter Antevy, EMS medical director for Davie (Florida) Fire-Rescue, and Daniel Moran, Assistant Fire Chief for Davie (Florida) Fire Rescue, where he manages the EMS, training and special projects divisions, about the MCI training they are delivering to law enforcement.

Minute by minute: How the GBI handled the social media response to the Ahmaud Arbery murder
A critical incident can happen at any time, in any community, across the country. Sharing information about these incidents is one cog in the overall response wheel, but it’s one that cannot be overlooked. It’s crucial to effectively communicate both during and after a critical incident. Police1 is launching a new feature that dives into the communication response to some of the most significant incidents law enforcement agencies have recently faced.
Julie Parker, President of Julie Parker Communications, specializing in law enforcement media relations and social media, is spearheading this spotlight on crisis communications. In this special episode of the Policing Matters podcast, Julie interviews Nelly Miles, director of the Office of Public and Governmental Affairs for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, about the agency's communication plan to handle the overwhelming public response to the viral video of the death of Ahmaud Arbery. -
How police leaders can help officers better handle organizational stressors
You’ve heard us talk about the stress that comes with the duties of being a law enforcement officer. Some situations are well beyond our control. Today – we are going to shift gears and talk about organizational stressors – or stress that comes from within the agency you may work for.

Nick Roberts on how effective leadership training prepares law enforcement for all-hazards response
Law enforcement's response to critical incidents is unique to the incident at hand. Our aim is to be well-prepared through comprehensive training, strategizing and practice in order to tackle a wide range of potential scenarios. There have been outstanding instances where these efforts have successfully converged, with acts of bravery playing a pivotal role in officers confronting active shooters to neutralize the threat and protect lives. Regrettably, there have also been cases where outcomes did not align with our intentions. How can we ensure a consistently effective response across all aspects of preparation, strategy and execution?
In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by Staccato, host Jim Dudley talks about with Nick Roberts about how effective leadership training prepares law enforcement for all-hazards response. Nick has been in law enforcement since 2009 and a SWAT team member since 2012. Nick is also an ambassador to Staccato Firearms and discusses some of the features of the Staccato CS, the newest iteration of the 2011 platform.

Customer Reviews
Appreciate the podcast
I greatly appreciate the podcast, great topics but at times the left of center opinions come across too much for me. I understand the host is a San Francisco native and that is the perspective. Just my opinion. Thank you for the content.
Not an echo chamber
I know some disagree with views or perspectives discussed, but they are designed to stimulate the discussion and show perspectives.
Hopefully, the listener can gain insight and depth rather than a one sided viewpoint on important topics.
It does matter…
Jim Dudley’s knowledge and perspective on the vast topics affecting policing is impressive. He always has an intriguing lineup of guests and compelling subject matter. I look forward to this podcast.
