Welcome to the Central Oregon Aerial Class. This is the first time that we have had every department participate!

My name is Jason Ellison and I will be your lead instructor. I have been in the fire service for over 25 years. Most of my paid time was on a ladder truck in Clackamas County. Throughout my time I have picked up tips and tricks to make successful aerial operators. I hope you enjoy the class and are able to come away from the class as a competent aerial operator. 

Class will be mostly hands on. You will need to fully complete the ResourceOne online assignments before June 24th.   

Preface

The International Public Safety Leadership and Ethics Institute (IPSLEI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation organized to support the development of excellence in public safety leadership and organizations. IPSLEI was formed in the spring of 2006 to continue the public safety industry collaborative in leadership and ethics that the California Community College Chancellor’s Office Public Safety Education Advisory Committee initiated with a Carl D. Perkins VETA Grant for the development of a comprehensive program for public safety leadership development. 

The original program, known as The California Public Safety Leadership and Ethics Program, originated in 2001. Through the leadership and vision of the California Community College Chancellor’s Office Public Safety Education Advisory Committee, the program gained national attention. This national interest led to the formation of IPSLEI and the expansion of the program beyond California. The United States National Fire Academy endorsed the IPSLEI program, and the United States Fire Administration recognized IPSLEI with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. 

In the spirit of the original design work, IPSLEI promotes a dynamic blend of unique, humanities-oriented leadership development with a case-study approach to explore the reality of the leadership challenges that public safety professionals face at every level. 

IPSLEI continuously seeks the input of public safety and academic professionals throughout the world to maintain an energetic, visionary, and realistic approach to facilitating the growth of excellence in public safety leadership.

It is the desire of IPSLEI that through effective, realistic, and purposeful leadership dialogue and interaction among public safety personnel from all disciplines and at every level, we learn the true meaning of interoperability and create the safest environments for our organizations and our communities. IPSLEI is dedicated to conducting research and analysis in public safety leadership development, creating effective leadership and ethics curricula, and providing facilitator training and excellent support for IPSLEI Facilitators.
