Last week members of the Beverly Police Community Impact Unit (CIU) attended Rewire4 training with the Metro Boston CIT-TTAC. The Rewire4 training by ROCA introduces law enforcement to the basics of brain science, the impact of trauma on the brain, and how it affects behaviors and life-long patterns.
Based on Roca’s Rewire Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and tailored to the practices of policing and corrections, Rewire4 teaches law enforcement both theory and practical skills which will help them stay focused, read themselves, examine their thinking, and act on what’s important to them.
Traditional trainings focus on tactics, but don’t necessarily address why people react the way they do in the moment. Rewire4 helps officers understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact their work and lives. It teaches them to rewire their brains: to build new neural pathways and disrupt old, unhelpful patterns.
BETTER EMOTIONAL REGULATION MEANS BETTER DECISION MAKING AND GREATER SAFETY.
We hope to bring this very useful training to the NE Essex County CIT-TTAC and make it available to all officers in Northeast MA.
