Sheriffs’ offices are uniquely complex, often including patrol, jail, and courts, each of which carries distinct cultures and distinct risks. Join us as we examine how active bystandership training can be implemented across all three environments, with a focus on jail deputies, who face unique ethical pressures and are too often excluded from agency-wide culture change efforts. Drawing on pilot data from Heroes Active Bystandership Training and real-world experience scaling the program across a Colorado sheriff’s office, this webinar offers sheriffs a practical framework for building intervention skills, not just intervention policy, in their detention divisions. The goal: trained and supported deputies who act before harm occurs, protecting detainees, colleagues, and the agency itself.
