The first workshop in a progressive AI training series for public safety and administrative professionals. Learn practical ways to use AI for everyday work, save time, improve output, and build a reusable workflow you can take back to work immediately.
Build the foundation for working smarter with AI.
AI 101 is designed for public safety and administrative professionals who want practical ways to use AI without needing to become technology experts.
This workshop creates the foundation for more advanced AI training later, while still giving you tools and workflows you can use immediately.
- ✓ Write and improve emails, reports, memos, and communications faster
- ✓ Turn long information into clear summaries, checklists, and action items
- ✓ Build SOPs, training materials, meeting notes, and reusable documents
- ✓ Use AI as a thinking partner for planning, critique, and problem solving
- ✓ Understand where human review and information security still matter
Leave with something you can actually use.
By the end of the workshop, you will not just understand AI better. You will build at least one reusable AI workflow around a task you actually perform.
That could be turning meeting notes into action items, transforming a policy into training material, drafting communications, organizing information, creating an SOP, or improving another repetitive task.
What can AI actually help you do?
AI 101 focuses on everyday work, not flashy demonstrations that have nothing to do with your role.
Writing & Communication
Draft, improve, shorten, clarify, and adapt emails, public communications, memos, and internal documents.
Summaries & Documents
Turn long information into key points, briefings, checklists, FAQs, action items, and easier-to-read material.
SOPs & Processes
Turn an existing process into an organized procedure, checklist, training guide, or reusable template.
Planning & Thinking
Use AI to challenge assumptions, identify gaps, compare options, brainstorm, and ask better questions.
Training Materials
Transform policies and source material into lesson outlines, discussion questions, quizzes, and training aids.
Repetitive Work
Identify repeatable tasks where AI can assist so less time is spent starting the same work from scratch.
Stop using AI like Google.
One of the foundational skills in AI 101 is learning how to give AI enough direction to produce useful work instead of generic answers.
Four hours built around practical application.
Learn the fundamentals, practice them in real time, and leave with reusable tools you can build on in future AI training.
Build a workflow around your own work.
The final portion of the training is not another presentation. You will actually build and test something you can use after the class.
Choose a Task
Pick something repetitive, time-consuming, or unnecessarily manual.
Map the Process
Identify what information goes in, what you currently do, and what should come out.
Build & Test
Create your AI workflow using the framework taught earlier in the workshop.
Refine & Save
Improve the output, save the process, and leave with something reusable.
Your $47 registration includes more than the class.
4-Hour Live Training
Practical instruction, demonstrations, guided exercises, discussion, and hands-on work.
Participant Workbook
Follow along during the workshop, complete exercises, capture prompts, and keep the material as a reference afterward.
Prompt Framework
A simple structure you can continue using to get stronger, more consistent AI outputs.
Your Own AI Workflow
Build at least one repeatable workflow around something you actually do.
AI 101 is the foundation, not the finish line.
This workshop is designed as the starting point in a progressive learning experience. AI 101 focuses on the fundamentals you need to use AI effectively and responsibly today. Future sessions can build on that foundation with more advanced tools, workflows, automation, and organizational applications.
Build the skills now. Go deeper in future sessions.
Join Clifton Gerring and Lon Wilkinson for the first workshop in a progressive AI training series built for public safety and administrative professionals.
Before you register
Do I need to be experienced with AI?
No. AI 101 is designed to create a strong foundation whether you are relatively new to AI or already use tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot and want to get better results.
Is this only for police officers?
No. The workshop is designed for public safety and administrative professionals, including leadership, administrative staff, municipal employees, law enforcement personnel, fire personnel, and related roles.
Will there be more advanced training after AI 101?
Yes. AI 101 is designed as the foundational workshop in a progressive series. Future sessions can build on these skills with more advanced AI tools, workflows, automation, Microsoft Copilot applications, and organizational implementation.
Will we discuss privacy and sensitive information?
Yes. The workshop covers the importance of approved tools, approved information, human review, and following your organization's security and technology policies. It does not replace your agency's IT, legal, or CJIS guidance.
Is this a hands-on class?
Yes. There are guided exercises throughout the session and a dedicated workshop period where attendees build a reusable AI workflow around their own work.
What is included in the $47 registration?
Registration includes the four-hour live AI 101 workshop and participant workbook, plus the exercises, frameworks, and materials used during the session.
