Another state. Another successful class.

Wahpeton, North Dakota
Critical Incident Response: Command & Control (CIRC)

Enhancing mission-critical decision-making for the high-risk incidents that Patrol and Investigative Units face every day.

This class brought together an incredible mix of experience and perspectives:

2 Sheriffs • 1 Chief Deputy Sheriff • 7 Directors • 1 Lieutenant • 7 Sergeants • 7 Deputies/Officers

The discussions went deep—risk identification, prioritization, decision architecture, and the intent behind action—while applying several new tools to critical incident response and resolution.

ONLINE COURSE: BECOMING A LEADER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT: THE PRIMER

You don't get to choose when leadership will be required of you; The critical incident doesn't care about your rank; The struggling officer doesn't care whether you've been promoted; And the difficult decision doesn't wait until you feel ready.

When that moment arrives, your people are going to get the leader you prepared to be.

Altitude Risk Mitigation's Becoming a Leader in Law Enforcement (BLLE): The Primer isn't another generic leadership course about titles, personality types, or motivational slogans.

It's about what leadership looks like when decisions matter and consequences are real.

The Primer challenges law enforcement professionals to examine:

• Appointed vs. Approved Leadership: The organization can promote you. Your people decide whether they'll follow you.

• Competency Under Pressure: Can you still perform when the information is incomplete and the environment becomes uncertain?

• Trust Is Tactical: Trust is built before the crisis and spent during it.

• Risk = Threat + Exposure: Understand how hesitation, exposure, and decision-making affect operational risk.

• ACCR: Assess • Contain • Control • Resolve: A practical methodology for bringing order and direction to problems before they control you.

• Leadership Accountability: Make the decision. Own the decision. Learn from the outcome.

This course isn't just for supervisors. It's for the officer who understands that rank may determine who is in charge, but it does not determine who can lead.

If you're waiting until you get promoted to start preparing for leadership, you're already behind.

Do the right thing.
At the right time.
For the right reason.

**I NEED YOUR HELP GETTING THE WORD OUT.**

Share this post. Send the flyer to your neighboring agencies. Tag a supervisor, training officer, or leader who should be in this room.

Albany PD stepped up to host this training. Now let’s fill the room with law enforcement professionals from across Oregon and the surrounding region.

🚨 **OREGON AND SOUTHERN WASHINGTON LAW ENFORCEMENT — HELP US FILL THIS CLASS!**

Altitude Risk Mitigation is bringing **Critical Incident Response: Command & Control (CIRC)** to the **Albany Police Department, September 8–9, 2026.**

Critical incidents don’t wait for the perfect commander.

They don’t wait for full staffing.

They don’t wait until you have all the information.

**Someone has to take control of the chaos—and usually they have to do it with what they have, right now.**

CIRC is a two-day, 16-hour course focused on the leadership, command, and decision-making required during the **first critical minutes of an incident and through the transition into sustained incident management.**

We’ll work through:

• Tactical Incident Command
• The critical first minutes
• Rescue and threat priorities
• Establishing command and controlling tempo
• Resource management
• Command continuity and transition
• Investigative integration
• Decision-making with incomplete information
• Real-world critical incident decision exercises

And this is important:

**CIRC is NOT just for current command staff.**

If you are a Sergeant, FTO, team leader, aspiring supervisor, or someone who may someday hear, **“You’re in charge,”** when everything is going sideways—this course is for you.

📍 **Albany Police Department — Albany, Oregon**
📅 **September 8–9, 2026**
⏱️ **16 Hours**
💲 **$355 per student**

Team,

I’m reaching out to those of you who have attended one of my courses in the past with a quick request.

Altitude is bringing Critical Incident Response: Command & Control (CIRC) to the Albany Police Department on September 8–9, 2026, and I need your help getting the word out.

If you found value in the training you received from Altitude, I’m asking you to please forward the attached flyer to supervisors, command staff, training personnel, and other law enforcement professionals within your network.

CIRC is built around a simple reality:

Critical incidents don't wait for the perfect commander, the perfect staffing level, or the perfect information. Someone has to take control of the chaos—and usually, they have to do it with what they have right now.

This two-day course focuses on the leadership and decision-making required during those first critical minutes and through the transition into sustained incident management. We work through Tactical Incident Command, rescue and threat priorities, command tempo, investigative integration, command continuity, and—most importantly—how leaders make sound decisions when information is incomplete and the consequences matter.

This isn't just a course for current command staff. If someone may be expected to lead when things go bad, this course is for them.

I NEED YOUR HELP

Please take a minute and forward the attached flyer to your professional network—neighboring agencies, supervisors you've worked with, training units, command staff, tactical leaders, and anyone else who could benefit.

No one should miss this opportunity simply because they didn't know the course was happening.

Albany PD has stepped up to host this training. Now I want to do everything I can to help them fill the room with law enforcement leaders from across Oregon and the surrounding region.

Thank you for continuing to support Altitude, but more importantly, thank you for helping us get quality training in front of the people who may be called upon to lead the next critical incident.

Please forward this one.

Stay safe,

Leadership isn't tested on the easy days. It's tested during the first five minutes of the worst day.

When information is incomplete.
When resources are limited.
When everyone is looking to you for direction.

That's why we developed Critical Incident Response: Command & Control (CIRC).

This two-day course is designed for first-line supervisors, command staff, tactical leaders, and aspiring leaders who understand that effective command is more than giving orders—it's reducing chaos, prioritizing risk, and making sound decisions under pressure.

📍 Hosted by Albany Police Department
📅 September 8–9, 2026
⏰ 16 Hours of Instruction

If you're expected to lead when it matters most...this course is for you.

We look forward to training with the law enforcement professionals of Oregon and beyond.

The last few weeks have been a reminder of why we do what we do.

Wildfires in the Inland Northwest. Agencies stretched thin. Commanders making decisions with incomplete information. Officers and deputies answering calls that no one hopes will ever come.

It reinforces something we teach in every Altitude course:
Training isn't about memorizing tactics. It's about building mission-critical decision-makers.

Whether you're the first officer on scene, a field supervisor, or the incident commander, every critical incident eventually comes down to one question: "What's the next right decision?"

This week I'm back in the classroom in Boardman, Oregon, working with another outstanding group of law enforcement professionals who continue to invest in themselves and their communities.

To every agency that's been affected by recent events, thank you for what you do. Stay safe, watch each other's backs, and never stop learning.

Because when the radio goes quiet... preparation speaks.

07/16/2026

Every agency has that one officer...

The one who stays calm when everyone else is overwhelmed.
The one people naturally look to when things go sideways.
The one who understands that command isn't about rank, it's about decisions.

Those officers don't appear by accident.

They're developed through training, experience, reflection, and a commitment to continual improvement.

That's why we're proud to partner with the Albany Police Department to host Critical Incident Response: Command & Control (CIRC) on September 8–9, 2026.

If you've attended one of our courses before, I'd like to ask one favor. Think of one officer, one supervisor, or one training coordinator who would genuinely benefit from this course. Then send them the flyer.

Not because we're trying to fill seats. Because our profession gets stronger every time another first responder learns to make better decisions under pressure.

For our Washington agencies, there's another advantage:
Attend the class in Oregon and avoid Washington State sales tax on the tuition, helping your training budget go even further.

One shared flyer. One better-prepared officer. One stronger profession.

There is a misconception in our profession that experience alone makes us better.

It doesn't.

Experience only gives us opportunities. What shapes us is what we choose to do with them.

Every critical incident...
Every difficult decision...
Every success...
Every mistake...

They leave us with a choice.

Ignore it.

Or learn from it.

After nearly three decades in law enforcement, tactical operations, investigations, and critical incident response, I've realized the greatest lessons rarely came from the days everything went according to plan.

They came from the days that forced me to stop, reflect, adapt, and improve.

That's why this has become my personal ethos:

Experience, failure, recovery with adaptation, and the commitment for improvement.

I don't claim to have all the answers. I simply believe we owe it to the people we lead, the communities we serve, and each other to keep learning.

That's how professionals grow.
That's how organizations improve.
And that's how we honor the responsibility we've accepted.
