“I look at my resiliency skills like a muscle that gets stronger. The more you use it, the stronger it gets, and I credit Tactical Longevity for that growth.”

This material is all encompassing from executive leadership down to the newest recruit. It doesn't matter whether you're training a recruit or you're breaking in a new commander at any rank, this program can help the supervisor/FTO teach the subordinate how to deal with the stressors of the job.

Major Ryan Miller

Overland Park Police Department

Thank you for coming to teach the topic. I feel I was able to get a lot out of it and hope to implement some of it with my time and in my personal life. I do think the entire department could benefit from the training.
