Where do chiefs that recognize the need for leadership development send their officers for that type of training? NYSAFC’s COLT program.

The demands on today’s fire officers are constantly increasing. Traditional training is not enough for today’s fire service leader of all ranks. NYSAFC recognizes that leadership development is necessary now if we are to protect the future of the fire service. It is also crucial for chief officers to support those individuals performing the day-to-day operations of the fire department, as sharpening the leadership skills of your line officers will enhance the overall strength of your team.

For each COLT program, NYSAFC has assembled a cadre of instructors, all nationally renowned experts on company officer leadership both on and off the fireground, for an energizing learning experience.
