The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police department announces the launch of the VALOR Immersion Project. The VALOR Immersion Project is a project under the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and is designed to provide specific agencies from rural or tribal communities with in-depth officer safety and wellness training based on their individual needs. Each agency has been assigned a VALOR Technical Assistant Coordinator (VTAC) focused on working exclusively with their designated agency. Through virtual means, the VTAC spent substantial time with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Police Department, homing in on their specific training needs through multi-page assessments and interviews. Moving forward, the results of these assessments will lead to custom virtual trainings covering categories such as tactical safety, wellness, resiliency, suicide prevention, traffic safety, and policy development.
