The National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety (NLERS) Program has launched new online courses tailored for patrol officers, executive leadership and trainers on the NLERS Online Learning Platform.
NLERS, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, offers no-cost training, technical assistance and resources to law enforcement agencies nationwide with the goal of preventing officer injuries and fatalities from officer-involved collisions and struck-by incidents.
NLERS’ popular in-person courses, the Roadway Safety Patrol Officer Course and Roadway Safety Executive Session, are now available in a virtual format. These online courses, still offered at no cost, teach the same curricula as our in-person training courses in a self-paced format available on the go — perfect for the shift-working officer. Upon completion of the self-paced modules, each course ends with a live virtual discussion. Attendees will receive certificates of completion acknowledging their participation in each course.
To complement the new online courses, the NLERS Online Learning Platform offers quarterly virtual sessions for trainers eager to learn how to deliver the NLERS curricula. These one-day (8-hour) Train-the-Trainer Workshops will teach adult learning and instructional design techniques to help trainers convey best practices for keeping officers within their agencies safe while on the roadways. The first sessions are quickly approaching, so enroll today!
