In December, Sheriff’s deputies will receive ongoing training in Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT) as part of our continuous professional training series. ICAT is designed to reduce the likelihood that an encounter between officers and emotionally distressed persons possessing a weapon other than a firearm may be resolved without the loss of life.
With a continued focus on transparency, the Sheriff’s Office is asking community members who would like to attend our training only as an observer. We can accept two community observers per session.
Date: December 12th 8am-6pm
December 19th 8am-6pm
Observers may attend all or a portion of the training. Please contact Sergeant Brian Cleveland at 831-454-7616 or email brian.cleveland@santacruzcounty.us if you are interested.
