NAWCTSD Awards R&D Contract To Carley Corporation

Friday, September 21, 2001

On behalf of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Carley Corporation was awarded a contract by NAVAIR Orlando (NAWCTSD) to research and develop effective training for School Resource Officers and responding law enforcement personnel. Many programs, encouraged or funded by a variety of Federal and State government agencies, have been implemented in the Nation's schools in recent years to promote an atmosphere of non-violence and mutual respect for persons and property and to encourage conflict resolution by means other than violence and disruptive behavior. Training efforts have been broad based, focusing on school personnel, including administrative personnel, teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and students. However, little focused national attention has been given to the application of training technology as an effective aid or force multiplier for School Resource Officers and responding law enforcement personnel.

Carley Corporation’s winning approach demonstrates creativity in identifying training requirements and developing the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) conformant curriculum. The resulting training program, incorporating adult learning principles, will be easy to use, and flexible to adapt to specific needs of individual school systems throughout the Nation. The interactive multimedia instruction will incorporate policy and procedures training; interpersonal skill development; officer safety; threat identification and mitigation; and use of force or judgment training. The curriculum will be enhanced with realistic case studies and role-playing.
