One of MVPSF’s goals is to provide affordable public safety training programs including officer safety, wellness, skills development, leadership and continuing education. We factor in the current demands and partner with leading organizations to assist in the development and instruction of high-quality training.
More and more each year, there is a vital need to focus on first responder’s health and wellness as it also affects the individual’s performance and safety. It is important for public safety professionals to be physically and mentally well, to perform, survive, and be resilient in the face of the demanding duties of the profession.
