Designed for police and fire command staff, the Academy provides a comprehensive overview of best practices for managing risk within public safety departments. Participants will learn practical strategies for risk mitigation, with a focus on strengthening communication with city executives, elected officials, and departmental teams. The Academy also emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of risk management, equipping attendees with practical tools and resources to support these efforts. Additionally, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the California JPIA can collaborate with departments to enhance risk management initiatives. Join us to take proactive steps toward safer, more resilient public safety operations.

Covering essential topics such as public safety health and wellness, constitutional policing issues, and legislative updates, the Academy has provided valuable insights for previous attendees. “Overall, an excellent program with a great amount of information and learning,” stated Todd Haroutunian, fire captain with the City of La Verne. “I enjoyed how the topics are forward-thinking/learning,” said Leila Holtzen, code enforcement/animal control officer with the City of Grand Terrace. “Showing how looking at the whole person is important, and leadership is much different than just supervising.” And Donald Aguilar, the City of Santa Paula’s police chief, said, “The best leadership conference I’ve attended in my 37-plus years of law enforcement.”
