Texas Department Of Public Safety Turns To The Response Network For Online Training Solution

The Response Network (TRN), owner and operator of Policecommunity.net, the leading provider of in-service online training and administrative tracking software solutions, today announced that the Texas Department of Public Safety (www.dps.texas.gov) has adopted TRN’s online training solution to provide a consistent, cost-effective way to ensure that all 3,800 of its commissioned officers maintain the highest level of readiness.

According to The Response Network President & CEO Bradley J. Naples, the agreement with The Texas Department of Public Safety comes at the same time that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education has approved for credit all of TRN’s online courses. “We are very proud to add the Texas Department of Public Safety to the growing list of law enforcement agencies throughout the United States who have come to rely upon TRN and our Policecommunity.net online training solution to meet their training needs.”

According to J. Frank Woodall, Chief Training Officer at the Texas Department of Public Safety, “By integrating The Response Network’s online courses into our ongoing training programs, we believe we will provide our officers with professional quality, cost-effective training.  The online platform allows us to improve the consistency of the training provided to our officers statewide while reducing the costs to the agency.”

The Response Network proactively developed a totally new online training course on the use and operation of police traffic RADAR specifically to meet the needs of the Texas Department of Public Safety. “This online course, which combines state-of-the-art 3D design with the most current information on RADAR/LIDAR operations and applications, allows us to leverage technology and more efficiently train our officers,” said Chief Woodall.

According to TRN’s Founder/CEO Brad Naples, “Providing on-demand online training courses will allow the Texas Department of Public Safety to keep more officers on duty rather than sitting in classrooms or attending costly in-person training seminars. The education and training available from the experts at Policecommunity.net meets or exceeds industry standards and will enhance the way in which the Texas Department of Public Safety provides its officers with the training necessary to do their jobs and protect the public. This is a national trend, and The Response Network’s online training solution is the highest-quality and lowest cost.” 

The Response Network’s in-service online training portal is exclusively dedicated to meeting the training needs of the global law enforcement, public safety and security communities.  It is the only in-service, online training solutions provider endorsed by and partnered with both the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA) and the FBI National Academy Associates (FBINAA).  Over the last year, large and small law enforcement agencies all over the U.S. have endorsed and subscribed to the Policecommunity.net training program.  These agencies include, but are not limited to:

Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) Partners With The Response Network to Offer High Quality, Low Cost Online In-Service Training

The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA®) has entered into a strategic partnership with The Response Network (TRN) to provide its member agencies with high quality online in-service training courses at substantially discounted prices.

The initial courses, which include Use of Force, Applied Ethics, and, soon, Policing the Mentally Ill, will be available at TRN’s online, in-service training portal, www.policecommunity.net. This 100% online training portal is exclusively dedicated to meeting the training needs of the global law enforcement, public safety and security communities.

CALEA and TRN will formally unveil the partnership, and demonstrate the initial courses, at the upcoming 2011 Summer CALEA Conference taking place at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 27-30, 2011.

TRN President & CEO Bradley J.

It also establishes another advantage of being CALEA Accredited, according to CALEA Chairman Louis M. Dekmar.

According to CALEA Executive Director Sylvester Daughtry, “We believe that this initiative demonstrates CALEA’s constant commitment to provide better client services in a manner that complements the needs of contemporary public safety agencies. When developing this client-focused partnership, CALEA sought to establish a business relationship with an organization that had a strong connection to the broader public safety community and a demonstrated ability to deliver superior quality online in-service training. To this end, TRN’s existing endorsements by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police (VACP), and the FBI National Academy Associates (FBINAA) complemented CALEA’s vision for the relationship and positioned the partnership for success.”
