Officer Safety in Indian Country

On May 3, I joined Ted Quasula, Retired Director, and Darren Cruzan, current Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs  law enforcement to honor the many heros who have given their lives to protect Indian County. The memorial at the FLETC center in Roswell now has nearly 100 names.

Being a cop in Indian Country is hard and dangerous work and can affect a person's mental health and in turn their physical health. Join us online and onsite for a series of Officer Safety training events.

Start with a free webinar on Officer Safety and Wellness to learn the basics. Then sign up for our three-day Officer Survival and Wellness Training training at Santa Ana Pueblo. This three day course involves one day of classroom instruction and two full days on the live fire range and training simulator. Participants will return back to their departments with practical experience utilizing skills learned in various situational contexts.

Preserve Tribal Heritage on May Day

When we train families to prepare for disasters, we advise them to consider how to preserve irreplacable mementos like family albums. However, when our tribal governments plan for disaster, the needs of libraries and museums are not always considered, even though many tribes' material heritage might be concentrated in those facilities.

This May 1st, all Indian Country librarians, archivists, historians, curators and museum administrators are encouraged to open up dialogue with your tribal councils about plans you can make and steps you can take to preserve your tribe's heirlooms. The National Institute for Conservation will be hosting a free webinar April 18 on how to start planning.

One of Lamar Associates' specialties is Emergency Preparedness. We can help your organization or tribe every step of the way from assessment to delivering training.

Strength Based Tribal Collaboration for Drug Endangered Children

In case you didn't catch the webinar, you can still watch the recorded session. Steve and Nadja did a great job as always, looking at how Native people can build on their strengths to protect children and how service providers can improve the cultural appropriateness  of their assessments.
