Post Critical Incident Seminar of SC
(Part of SC LE Assistance Programs)
(excerpt: Perhaps the most popular offering under our Critical Incident Stress Management service area is the annual Post Critical Incident Seminar. Created by the FBI specifically for law enforcement officers, the PCIS offers SC officers a safe and effective method for post-incident training in critical incident stress. Offered only to officers who have been through highly traumatic events, the PCIS can mean the difference between staying on the job or leaving law enforcement for another profession due to the unresolved and unexamined effects of critical incident stress.

For the first time, the 2002 PCIS was open to spouses of law enforcement officers. The PCIS for 30 participants was held September 23-25, 2002, at the Hampton Inn on Garner's Ferry Road, Columbia. Officer's departments covered costs of meals and housing. Training team included: Dr. Roger Solomon, Clinical Director; Officers with: FBI, Secret Service, US State Department, NCSHP, Charleston PD, Greenwood PD, many others.
