Law Enforcement Training Course
Law enforcement and public safety officers may encounter people who are confused, behaving inappropriately, having difficulty understanding commands, or unable to talk. These actions may be symptoms of epilepsy and the person may be experiencing a seizure. It is critical for all law enforcement and public safety officers to know how to recognize and respond to a person experiencing a seizure. It is also important for them to protect the rights of the individual and ensure their safety, in addition to their own safety.
The Epilepsy Foundation recently enhanced its Law Enforcement-Informed Training for Recognizing and Responding to Seizures (with support from Eisai) to help public safety professionals better understand epilepsy and increase their knowledge about seizures. The goal is to protect the health and safety of those living with epilepsy, especially when they may not be able to respond to a law enforcement officer’s request. The course was designed for, and with, law enforcement, public safety, and correctional officers, as well as law enforcement agency staff members.
