Classes are now scheduled in Indiana and additional classes set for Kentucky!
Geared toward chiefs and chief officers, this training covers information leaders need to know before tragedy strikes.
It is not a funeral planning class and not an Honor Guard class. It is a class for public safety leaders to prepare themselves and their agencies for what we all hope never happens -- as well as to assist neighboring agencies should tragedy strike there.
INDIANA: Anderson ♦ Fort Wayne ♦ Indianapolis ♦ Lafayette ♦
Mitchell ♦ Terre Haute
KENTUCKY: Flatwoods ♦ Louisville ♦ Richmond ♦
Shepherdsville

"It was excellent! I have been through two LODDs in my department and with many other departments in their time of need. I would recommend this class to anyone who really cares about their people and has a desire to take care of their families." -- Lieutenant Stewart Dawson - Chaplain, Lexington (KY) Fire and Rescue
"As a mid-level manager, I had never received any specific training for line of duty deaths. The training and commentary was very beneficial. The tragic real world experiences shared serve to ensure we are better prepared to properly honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the most appropriate and hearfelt ways." -- Captain Brian Krueger, Paducah (KY) Police Department
"Every chief owes it to their personnel to attend this class." -- Battalion Chief Ernie Barnes, Clark County (KY) Fire Department
"It was an excellent class... opened my eyes to what it means to be prepared for the unthinkable... I hope I never have to put your training into action, but I know if I follow your recommendations..." -- Sergeant Marc Schworer, Fort Wright (KY) Police Department
"(It was) an AWESOME presentation and I highly recommend it... You provided great insights that will help us better prepare in the unforseen event of the death of an officer... I commend your team for their compassion and humility. I was blessed by your intense focus." -- Sergeant Scott Paul, Independence (KY) Police Department
