ALLEAPS LAW ENFORCEMENT PEER SUPPORT TRAINING

The Alabama Law Enforcement Alliance for Peer Support (ALLEAPS) and the Alabama Law

Enforcement Agency (ALEA) will provide Law Enforcement peer support training in cooperation

with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Training Academy, Fultondale, Alabama, July 26-29, 2021.

This 32-hour training has limited seating, and there is NO COST for the training. The training will

be conducted at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Training Academy, 3500 Happy Hollow Lane,

Fultondale, Alabama 35068.

The purpose of this course is to provide law enforcement officers with a distinct skill set, allowing

them to deal with and assist other officers following high-stress job-related events such as:

 Officer-Involved Shooting

 Multiple Fatality Collisions

 Suicide

 Child Death, etc.

Additional topics explain the reasons for (and provide solutions):

 Why police officers live 20 years less than the general public.

 Why law enforcement officers commit suicide at 3-4 times the rate at which we are killed

in the line-of-duty.

 Why career police officers in the U.S. are ranked first in Alcoholism, Divorce, Heart

Disease, and PTSD.

ALLEAPS is NOT counseling. ALLEAPS is a highly effective peer-driven support system that

exists exclusively within the law enforcement brotherhood, instead of with well-meaning mental

health professionals that cops typically do not trust.

Completing the 32-hour ALLEAPS program qualifies students to be certified peer support

members identified in Title 36-21-14, Code of Alabama. This certification provides law

enforcement officers the identical privileged communication protection currently in place for a

lawyer/client or doctor/patient.

This law enforcement training is RESTRICTED TO CERTIFIED PEACE OFFICERS and

RETIREES with valid credentials. Chaplains and mental health professionals who comply with

the requirements of 36-21-14, Code of Alabama, upon approval, may be permitted to attend.

The officer should have a good reputation and understanding of the law enforcement

brother/sisterhood, along with the willingness to step up and act when another police officer is in

need.
