Initial courses available upon launch include Managing Mass Demonstrations and Protecting Civil Liberties; Resilience Across Dimensions: Officer Health and Prosperity; and Leadership, Management, and Supervision.
Elevate Blue offers law enforcement the flexibility to participate in training on demand and within the limits of their schedule at no cost on any device, any time, and in any location. Elevate Blue courses are certified through the IADLEST National Certification Program and will fulfill most state POST requirements.
Throughout 2024 and beyond, Elevate Blue will launch additional criminal justice topics such as Community Engagement and Trust; Effective Violent Crime Reduction Strategies and Recruitment, Hiring, Training, and Retention.
