"Brilliant."   -Frontline Staff Member

Here's the thing. This is probably not what you pictured when you signed up for this.

Just about everyone is struggling to retain officers, struggling to recruit.

Low morale, difficulty with community relationships.  

So many things to do every day; so much chaos.  

The mental health crisis is starting to show up in every arena. Especially yours.  

Being a police officer has always been an important profession. Unfortunately, it has become more difficult than ever.  
 
So we want to make it simple. 

We help you retain officers and strengthen community trust.

Policing Under Pressure is a training program for your staff designed to help if you are seeing anything like this:

  • Frustrating lack of community trust that you just don't know how to respond to 
  • Anxiety, depression, and PTSD among staff at rates you've never seen before 
  • Difficulty retaining and recruiting officers
  • Interactions with the public showing that many members of the community have no skills in emotional wellness 
  • Overwhelm, frustration, burnout among staff with no end in sight 
  • Leadership fatigue, resulting in you feeling like a ghost of the leader you could be

We want you to know it doesn't have to be this way.


Policing Under pressure is not just one more thing. It is a training program designed to gently and simply guide your team through a series of coaching sessions that address the root causes of burnout and negative community interactions. 

So what does the program look like?

Policing Under Pressure is a 12-month program.

It is incredibly simple.

We start with an introductory full-day in-person training that lays the foundation for organizational and systemic wellness. (Leaders complete one training, frontline staff completes another.)

Then, each month for 12 months after, we meet online for one hour together with staff and one hour with leadership. In that hour, we meet you where you are and help you with implementation.

EACH MONTH YOU RECEIVE:

  • One hour virtual session for frontline staff and one hour with leadership with our experts who help people out of crisis mode, guiding you through practical and simple strategies, tools, and resources that will help you retain staff, reduce burnout, and improve community engagement.  
  • An implementation guidebook for implementation tips, with a space for personal reflection to help staff digest and process the information. This enhances their ability to take action from what they learned..
  • "Offline" access to our experts in a simple, online text group to ask questions and receive support throughout the month until the next call.

Research-Backed Interventions: Neuroscience and Traumatology

When you work with us, expect more than buzzwords and feel-good phrases that don't move the needle.

Our interventions are backed by science. We give you practical and simple steps to make an impact right away.

In just one hour a month, we equip you with tools that are game-changing (and often life-changing).

Or, if you are ready now, let's get a call on the calendar to make sure it is a good fit.

Still want to know more? No problem! 

Five Ives exists to help you, and we want to show you how Policing Under Pressure does just that.

POLICING UNDER PRESSURE PROGRAM CURRICULUM:

Frontline Staff Training

Frontline staff are equipped with resources to address the key reasons for why they are struggling and ultimately leave the profession:

Breaking the Stigma of Stress - Learn why it's normal to face challenges in law enforcement and how to harness your biology to overcome on-the-job stress. 

Mastering High-Stress Situations - Understand the hidden impacts of high-pressure scenarios on officers and civilians, and gain tools to navigate them.  

Positive Community Engagement - Introduce basic stress management techniques for use on the job and explore methods for building empathy and trust with community members.  

Leadership Training

The leadership training focuses on the organization-level decisions that impact officer wellness and drive positive community engagement. We will cover: 

Leadership in High-Pressure Environments – Learn how to guide your team through stress, crisis, and trauma while maintaining clear vision and strong decision-making. 

 Retaining Your Officers – Implement leadership strategies that reduce burnout, increase job satisfaction, and keep your best officers on the force.  

Building a Resilient & Trusted Department – Strengthen morale, trust, and community confidence through leadership approaches that prioritize officer well-being and community partnerships.

Ongoing Coaching Calls

Have you ever been to a conference, loved so much about what they shared, and then went home and couldn't implement any of it because there was too much going on? Us, too! This is why we offer ongoing coaching calls throughout the 12 months following the in-person training. In each call, we offer:

Practical Strategies – You will receive practical tips or strategies based on our assessment of the department's needs following the in-person training.

Implementation Support – Your questions will be answered. You can talk through the struggles with implementing strategies and resources around officer wellness and community engagement.

Ongoing Personalized Care – These calls are a place to be heard, seen, and supported. We de-stigmatize the struggle and help you implement your vision with no judgment when there are struggles and things are hard.

That's okay. In crisis mode, it can be hard to make big decisions.

But picture what life will be like next year if you don't make a change, if things stay the way they are.

911 calls will still come in. Officers will still be walking into difficult situations every day. You will still have staffing problems. And the mental health crisis isn't going away anytime soon, so hoping things get better isn't going to work. 

You need a solution that can meet you in the crisis and not be just one more thing. And you need experts who get it. That's us.
