REWIND

This course will provide public safety personnel with a clear focus on individualization as it pertains to the overall status of “self.” Telecommunication professionals often become disillusioned and lose focus on their obligations. Most importantly, some individuals have a tendency to contaminate co-workers within the work environment, which proliferates back to those closest to them. This course serves to help change behavior before it’s too late for the individual worker and/or agency.
