Through FY23 CPD funding, the cpsi will continue in the role as the dntc and will expand its deliverables on multiple fronts

First, cpsi will expand resources currently available on the cops national DE-escalation training network web page drawing from its network of nationally recognized experts on DE-escalation. Resources may include articles, publications, videos and new training tools related to DE-escalation to share across the training center network.second, cpsi will develop 12 short roll call training videos to reinforce the core learning objectives from courses taught across the network. Third, to address the needs of smaller agencies unable to attend face-to-face trainings, cpsi will convert an 8-hour training into video segments to expose law enforcement professionals to the critical components of effective DE-escalation. Fourth, cpsi will utilize criminal justice evaluators to audit courses to ensure that training materials are presented as outlined, that instructors are applying principles of community policing, and that all instruction is presented in a professional manner. After-action reports will be provided to the cops office for their review. Fifth, cpsi will conduct a national review of available virtual reality training systems related to DE-escalation and present those findings to the cops office to establish a list of approved vendors for use by cops DE-escalation micro-grantees. Sixth, cpsi will host up to four collaborative events with participants representing community groups, non-governmental and faith-based organizations as well as law enforcement.
