Self-paced Online Course Offerings

The SRT Project and Commonwealth Police Legacy, Inc. have joined forces to present self-paced online State 911 Department-approved courses, designed to equip 911 Dispatchers and Call takers with proactive tools and strategies for managing stress and boosting resilience.

What dispatchers are saying:

  • One of the best trainings I've had in my 25-year career."

  • "Felt more like career-specific therapy than a course."

  • "We, like first responders, experience significant burnout and compassion fatigue. Thank you for recognizing our profession!"

How Combat Breathing Saved My Life

“Everything went black. I thought I was dead...Then, the worst pain imaginable seized my body. The deafening noise of my skull shattering forced me to open my eyes. All I could see was bright light, eerily like "the light" of near-death experience. I couldn't make anything out. I knew the only thing that could hurt this badly was that I had just been shot.”
