Presentation Description: Every Emergency Telecommunicator will tell you that a Line of Duty death is one of their worst fears. You will leave this session with a better understanding of what classifies line of duty death or traumatic event, have the groundwork for creating a "checklist" or "procedure", have suggestions and ideas on taking care of yourself and your team throughout the incident, as well as an idea of what stress and trauma responses to watch out for. Don't wait to navigate through a live incident! Hopefully, it never happens to you but be prepared for the worst!
