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.

A Leap Not Taken
MVPSF continues to hear the need from first responders for more mental health support and training. We have brought a dynamic duo, Sergeant Kevin Briggs and Kevin Berthia, a suicide survivor to speak to you. This mental health seminar will tell their story on how they met in March 2005 on the Golden Gate Bridge and how Sgt. Kevin Briggs saved Kevin Berthia’s life. They will discuss everything from: Crisis communication, Suicide prevention and postvention, compassion fatigue and the impact your role as a first responder has on your own mental health.
What you do as a first responder can take its toll. Learn ways to identify and address YOUR own needs after your amazing day to day role.

Michael served in the Air Force, has extensive law enforcement background and was awarded the Walnut Creek PD distinguished service medal in 2014 for his heroic actions during a fatal officer involved shooting in 2012.
