Versaterm Launches Professional Standards Training Program
June 27 2024 - 12:00PM
Versaterm, a global public safety solutions leader, announced today
its new comprehensive program of training courses specifically
designed for Professional Standards Investigators, Police
Commanders, Field Supervisors or any staff responsible for
upholding agency service standards to their community. Public
safety agencies today operate in an environment of high
expectations as never before. Established processes and proactive
approaches to administrative investigations provide the foundation
for accountability, transparency and community trust.
The program provides
live, interactive sessions led by highly experienced instructors
and covers the complexities of administrative investigations,
ethical decision-making, early identification, officer wellness and
additional topics focused on maintaining public support. Attendees
are introduced to strategies and techniques for administrative
investigations that are then reinforced through practical
scenarios. Sample instruction includes, but is not limited to:
- An overview of administrative investigations detailing the
role, structure and responsibilities of Professional Standards
investigators
- Systemic procedures for receiving and addressing community
feedback, including compliant fundamentals, forms, intake errors,
assessment and tracking
- Robust investigation procedures, including planning, evidence
management, conducting investigations and diligent report
writing
The program offers valuable continuous
learning opportunities that help improve personnel’s professional
skills.
“Implementing robust processes for
feedback collection, appropriate intervention and accurate
reporting is crucial to helping ensure that all public interactions
are positive experiences for community members,” said Tim Conner,
General Manager, Versaterm. “We designed this program to empower
personnel and agencies with the comprehensive knowledge and skills
required to conduct investigations with complete confidence and
adherence to compliance standards, no matter their organization’s
size or structure.”
In March 2023, Versaterm expanded its
portfolio by acquiring CI Technologies and its IAPro solution, a
full-featured software platform designed to meet the needs of
Professional Standards units. The industry-leading software helps
police agencies maintain their integrity and reputation in
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
The next training series is scheduled
to begin July 29. For more information or to register, visit the
