In addition, the Department of Emergency Communication utilizes guest instructors to discuss penal law, domestic violence, stress management, civil liability.  New employees also participate in “ride alongs” with various agencies.  At the conclusion of the classroom portion of their training new hires have extensive on-the-job training with individual experienced communication training officers.
