Nurstead’s training and consulting section has worked across the United States and Europe, with law enforcement, EMS, fire, US and foreign military, and private companies to develop programs and staff. Nurstead holds many proprietary courses approved by clinical and first responder boards for the training of these professionals. Nurstead’s main topic of focus for clinical staff and first responders is crisis and we have over a dozen core trainings in this area, with all of these courses taught by a cadre of trainers who collectively hold every level of crisis intervention and response certification available along with certifications in a wide array of clinical areas. Other common trainings provided by Nurstead cover topics such as mental health, substance use, crisis intervention, leadership, suicide prevention, and many more. Nurstead has common trainings that are provided to clinicians and first responders but also has created trainings specific to the needs of agencies and departments. Additionally Nurstead also performs direct service in behavioral health with a focus on crisis response and has responded to some of the largest crisis events of the past decade such as the Joplin Tornado, El Paso Walmart Shooting, Midland Shooting providing crisis response and critical incident debriefing.

With our 2026 Las Cruces First Responder Crisis and Wellness Conference just a week away how about a fun post today to test your knowledge of the rules of challenge coins. How many of these did you know? What others are there?

Coin Challenge Rules

1. Rules of the coin tradition must be given or explained to all new coin holders.

2. The coin MUST be carried at all times. You can be challenged for it anywhere, at any time. You must produce the coin without taking more than 4 steps to produce it.

3. When challenging, the challenger must state whether it is for a single drink or a round of drinks.

4. Failure to produce a coin, for whatever reason, results in a bought round or single drinks (whatever the challenger stated). This type of transaction could be expensive, so hold onto your coin. Once the offender (coinless challenge) has bought the drink or round, they can't be challenged again.

5. If all that are challenged produce their coins, the challenger loses and must buy the drinks for all respondents. This too can be expensive, so challenge wisely.

6. Under no circumstances can a coin be handed to another in response to a challenge. If a person gives their coin to another, that person can now keep the coin -- it's theirs!!! However, if a person places the coin down and another person picks it up to examine it, that is not considered giving and the examiner is honor-bound to place the coin back where they got it. The examiner can't challenge while they hold another's coin. After
negotiating a "reasonable" ransom, the examiner must return the member's coin.

7. If a coin is lost, replacement is up to the individual. A new coin should be acquired at the earliest opportunity -- losing a coin and not replacing it doesn't relieve a member of his or her responsibilities. This is especially true if your fellow members know that you traditionally carry a coin.

8. The coin should be controlled at all times. Giving a coin to just anyone is like opening a fraternity to just anyone. It is an honor to be given a coin, let's keep it that way. A given or awarded coin is of more personal value than a purchased coin.

9. No holes may be drilled in a coin.

10. The above rules apply to anyone who is worthy to be given/awarded a coin, has a purchased coin, or who is known to be a previous coin holder.
