Cooperation: Can you do MORE with LESS in your Public Safety Agency? Cooperation is the strategy of the day for everything from grant seeking to training exercises and homeland security drills, but is it really worth the bother? Listen in and find out.  A pre-recorded, no cost, program is available now.   RATINGS: [EC] [SP] [CS] [CM] [EM] [MD]  Program Description Do more, do it better and do it faster with less: less money, less staff and less time. Police, sheriffs, fire departments, EMS and PSAPs all face these same challenges. In the search for answers many agencies find that a cooperative, even collaborative, approach can help solve many problems. Whether you call it a consortium, partnership, contract, family or team, there is strength in cooperation. The time to build the cooperative relationships is before there is a need. The Law Enforcement And Public Safety (LEAPS) Channel is very pleased to present this one hour web program so that we may help the community to learn why cooperation should be a part of your long range strategy for doing more with less and learn how to measure the impact and build the relationships you need to bring lasting value to all parties. Your presenter for this webinar is Al Blencoe, a 25 year veteran of Public Safety Communications and Emergency Services in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. Join Al to learn how to take the steps needed to assure the future of your agency. There will be an opportunity for online questions and answers during the live program.
