Training

VRSA’s training calendar is updated often and can be viewed in calendar or list format. Members can register for a variety of events as long as they have the coverage assigned to the event. Virtual engagements are routinely recorded and posted to VRSA’s website, and many training classes are held in more than one location to provide easy access to our members.

VRSA offers free virtual engagements each month on a variety of topics from human resources, communications, risk management, and law enforcement.

Recorded virtual engagements are posted online for members to view at their leisure. Upcoming virtual engagements can be found in our online member resource search.

The VRSA Online University provides free, unlimited online training for VRSA member employees. The university provides courses in the areas of public safety, public works, defensive driving, parks and recreation, human resources, schools, law enforcement, and more.

VRSA is pleased to provide three comprehensive web-based training solutions to our members at no additional cost. These include the Police1 Academy, the Training Response Network (TRN) Academy, and the Fire/EMS Academy through FireRescue 1.

Claims of sexual abuse and molestation against students have become the most expensive category of cases for many school insurers, sometimes exhausting limits, especially in multi-victim cases.

VRSA is partnering with Vector Solutions/Safe Schools to provide access to their Child Sexual Abuse Prevention in Schools series.

VRSA offers a variety of resources to assist members in maximizing their risk management and training efforts. Our library of resources includes videos, DVD’s, CD’s, modules and printed materials covering a variety of topics relating to safety, human resources, risk management and more. These resources can be used as a foundation for discussion in member entity’s training. Members may borrow up to two resources at a time for a two week period.
