About Us
Training ALL who serve our communities and our Nation
Purpose
For more than two decades, the United States National Standards of Training Association (U.S.N.S.T.A.) and its members have been safeguarding our citizens and all who serve in our communities and across the nation by establishing a standard of training that provides a common set of skills as well as a common language to communicate those skills within any use of force environment. The U.S.N.S.T.A and its members have come together to restore trust between law enforcement entities and citizens across our nation by revising inadequate or antiquated training and providing the most up-to-date, proven, innovative instruction that will establish the critical skills first responders need to protect themselves and the communities they serve.
Today, we have further expanded our focus on the tools available to enforcement personnel to communicate and deescalate enforcement situations. With valuable input from public policy makers, administrative staff, trainers, and the communities in which we serve, our expert focus is based on the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve conflict while ensuring the safety of our nation’s citizens and first responders. Our subject matter experts and elite trainers offer a fresh perspective by incorporating a combination of cutting edge, cognitive communication techniques, and tactical training into the fundamentals of our communities’ service providers.
Mission
We consistently monitor the ever-evolving law enforcement environment to provide up to date, court defensible solutions, independent credentialing, standardized training and recognizable instructor certifications to our nation’s first responders. We proactively respond to the needs of our first responders and their communities by adapting vital, innovative training requirements and standards that will ensure the positive implementation of effective, modern training solutions.
Vision
To become the most respected provider of standardized training, certified training resources, program credentialing, and compliance strategies in the world. To continue to protect the lives of all citizens and maintain the essential trust between our communities and those who serve by establishing vanguard training requirements and capabilities. We maintain that the future of effective enforcement will require extensive training in the use of both mind and voice. As a result, the U.S.N.S.T.A is committed to providing training solutions that cover these obvious gaps that typical training programs in place today overlook.
