Description

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce a National First Responders Day webinar, “The 10 Code Mindset”. 

First responders and veterans experience more stress, demands, and trauma than the average citizen in America. Unfortunately, so many first responders and veterans face a threat of suicide, and there is the very real risk of becoming mentally and/or physically injured on the job. Many first responders (current and former) and veterans learn to survive the challenges of their careers, but a survival mindset in life can be a hindrance on thriving in life. The goal of this period of instruction is to inspire those in attendance to take on a thriving mindset through massive action that must be done one step at a time. All attendees will learn about resources and sources cited for information in the course. 

Presenter

Scott Medlin is a United States Marine Corps veteran who went on to a career of nearly fifteen years in law enforcement. In 2020, Scott began his journey to inspire and encourage police officers to be fulfilled, and excel, by focusing on their personal wellbeing in order to survive the career and better serve the public. Scott has spoken openly about his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, and depression. Scott is a relatable and dynamic speaker, author, and content creator, and has presented at numerous first responder conferences and police academies. His work has also been featured on major platforms including Police 1, Law Enforcement Today, top ranked police podcasts, and much more. You can follow Scott on the YouTube channel, The 10 Code Mindset.
