Statewide Initiatives and Insurance Pools
ABLE Statewide Initiatives
ABLE has partnered with a number of agencies and organizations to create statewide initiatives, which enable law enforcement agencies to pool instructors and training resources, extending ABLE’s reach and making the program more accessible to smaller agencies with limited resources to devote to training. The ABLE Team is grateful to our on-the-ground partners in each state who make this work possible. ABLE operates statewide initiatives in the following states:
ABLE is partnering with the California Affiliated Risk Management Authorities (CARMA) to facilitate the provision of ABLE training by certified ABLE instructors to California, Central, Northern, and Central Valley region law enforcement agencies that participate in the CARMA program and are accepted into the ABLE Project. The ABLE/CARMA initiative has hosted four in-person Train-the-Trainer events over the last two years. For more information, please contact Rob Patton at Rob.Patton1@sedgwick.com.
ABLE is partnering with the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group (OMAG) to ensure that law enforcement agencies in the state of Oklahoma can access the ABLE curriculum and training. By utilizing their connections within law enforcement, OMAG will lead the coordination of ABLE training for agencies statewide. OMAG encourages the regional deployment of ABLE and partners with the ABLE team to offer implementation support to police departments and officers seeking to adopt the training.

ABLE Utah is a collaboration between the Utah Local Governments Trust and the ABLE national team to ensure that all agencies in the state of Utah can access high-quality ABLE training. By leveraging their relationships in law enforcement, the Trust hosts and coordinates ABLE trainings for agencies across the state, ensuring low-resourced agencies can still receive this critical training at little to no cost. Given the unique nature of policing in a rural state such as Utah, the Trust encourages regional roll-out of ABLE and collaborates with the ABLE national team to provide technical assistance to cohorts looking to implement the program.
