Performance Protocol's Advanced Recruiter Training is designed to address the unique workforce challenges of public safety agencies. This training has been provided to the FL Department of Law Enforcement and can seemlessly be provided to juvenile justice staff. The training was designed by practitioners with extensive experience in both military and corporate recruitment, and reflects the highest standards of recruitment science while remaining grounded in the realities of policing. Performance Protocol's technology and software have the capacity to translate frontline feedback into functional enhancements which set it apart from solutions provided by broader markets. Performance Protocol provides a level of integration between various programs which ensures improvements in one area are reflected across the organization;

providing measureable, system-wide gains. Performance Protocol's integrated readiness model addresses root causes by aligning people, processes, data, and technology.

The Department researched existing State Term Contracts, approved Alternate Contract Sources, and other known providers of training, but did not find anything comparable to Performance Protocol's Advanced Recruiter Training.
