Professional Development that fits around you: Introducing the Police Oracle Training Academy

The training academy will be complimentary for Police Oracle subscribers.

The Red Snapper Group is pleased to announce the Police Oracle Training Academy– a continuous learning platform offered exclusively to all Police Oracle subscribers.

At Red Snapper Group, we understand the unique challenges faced by law enforcement professionals and the ongoing necessity to refresh learning and build skillsets. The Police Oracle Training Academy, delivered by Red Snapper Learning, is designed to answer that need.

We will be offering a range of high-quality courses specifically developed for those working in law enforcement, justice and public safety. From cybercrime and counterterrorism to legal updates and investigation skills, the course catalogue will cover a range of roles within the sector.

From April, Police Oracle subscribers will receive complimentary access to the Academy which will feature live sessions as well as on-demand modules with a flexibility that can fit around your schedule.

Our courses are designed and delivered by qualified trainers who bring a wealth of experience and expertise across various aspects of law enforcement. All instructors are affiliated with Red Snapper Learning – our established in-house education and training provider.

The first session, to launch in April, will be ‘Trauma Informed Practice – Dealing with Fatigue in Policing’.

This course will cover what a trauma informed approach is, how experiences of trauma affect people, looking at ways to improve safety and support as well as creating a personal action plan.

Other sessions planned for the year ahead include ‘Best Practice is CCTV Retrieval’, ‘Conflict Management and de-escalation techniques’ as well as ‘Road Victim – Support and After Care’.

The initial schedule is detailed below.

Across the coming month, ahead of the official launch, we will be sharing more details about the full access readers will receive and exactly what will be on offer.
