Congratulations to the first round of instructors launching Blue Card implementation across the region. Through a regional grant effort, departments are investing in their people—training new Blue Card instructors and bringing high-impact workshops to the area in 2026, including Strategic Decision Making and Mayday Management.
Huge thanks to the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety for stepping up to lead the charge—unifying departments through shared training, standardized command language, and a common system for managing incidents.
Regional alignment. Stronger command. Better outcomes.
