Blue Link, Inc.

Recent events have highlighted the Law Enforcement training problem and have communities clamoring for answers. A lack of training is a direct result of the lack of resources and access to quality training. The root cause of poor training is a lack of funding due to budget cuts, unaffordable training equipment, the amount of required and trained instructor personnel is too much for many agencies, field depletion during training events due to short staffing levels is not an option as it reduces public service quality, inadequate or static training facilities breed familiarity and complacency during training, and time spent on pre-scripted training does not allow time for quality training. Quality training induces stress on the officer and requires critical thinking to appropriately resolve a volatile situation. Blue Link, Inc. was created to provide real solutions to the problem of inadequate police training by providing funding to those agencies which would be otherwise unable to afford training opportunities for their officers. Blue Link, Inc. is pioneering a benchmark training facility and program to best replicate real-world situations and result in better police interactions.
