As we reach the halfway point of the year, many of our member county officials begin worrying about how they will complete their required continuing education hours. And, when incidents arise that justify targeted or broad staff training or re-training in a particular area, like defensive driving skills, anti-bias, jail safety principles, or stress management, an easily accessible on-demand training course can be a valuable strategy in preventing future claims.
Among the many training options available to NIRMA members is NIRMA Online University – a platform powered by our partner, Lexipol, to bring you online courses in a vast array of topics. In the past twelve months, popular courses have included: Preventing Sexual Harassment, Employee Free Speech, Jail/Law Enforcement Courses from the PoliceOne catalog, and Dealing with Stress.
To access courses, click the NIRMA Online University link at the bottom of the home page. You’ll need to enter your Lexipol login credentials on that page or follow the instructions to retrieve them (if you are law enforcement, you may have obtained your login information from the Nebraska Crime Commission). Or if you are a brand-new user of the platform, fill out the online registration form on that page to get started. Questions? Reach out to us at the NIRMA office.
