The Alabama Law Enforcement Alliance for Peer Support (ALLEAPS) in cooperation with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, will provide peer support training at the DT Marshall Firearms and Training Facility, 6900 Janet Warner Road, Montgomery, Alabama 36108, from January 27 – 30, 2025. This free, limited-seat training will begin each day at 0800 and conclude at 1700.

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
• Officer Down
• Mass Casualty
• Custodial Death
• Suicide
• Child Death, etc.

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

• Why do police officers live 20 years less than the general public?
• Why do law enforcement officers commit suicide at 3-4 times the rate more than 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 officers typically don’t trust.

Completing this peer support program qualifies officers as certified peer support members as identified in Title 36-21-14, Code of Alabama.  This certification provides them with 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, RETIREES, EMA OFFICERS, and 911 DISPATCHERS/CALLTAKERS with valid credentials.  Upon approval, Chaplains and Mental health professionals who comply with the requirements of 36-21-14, Code of Alabama, may be permitted to attend.

The officer should have a good reputation, an understanding of the law enforcement brotherhood, and the willingness to step up and take action when another police officer is in need.
