Security:

Ask "Is there anyone from media, law enforcement, or other state surveillance/enforcement organizations in the room?" They are not welcome without explicit discussion with trainers and consent of all present. Explain why security is both important and imperfect. Mention that CAM has trained CPD in the past. If anyone is talking about "underground" activities prob just fragile ego, let a trainer know.

Logistics:

bathroom, water fountain, parking, other

Hopes & Fears:

As people come into the room, they get unlimited sticky notes. Encourage people to write at least one hope and one fear (one per sticky note) and place it on the "Hopes" and "Fears" chart papers which have been prepared beforehand and well placed in the room. Hopes and fears can reflect their expectations for the training, a coming action, or where they are at in their lives right now.

Two volunteers: one reads hopes, one reads fears.

Intros:

name, preferred pronoun, where from, and in 10 words why you have come to the training

note who is not in the room racial, economic, gender, age, political etc diversity
