How it works

  • 1. Office Wellness

    The goal of officer wellness is to promote resilience, reduce related-stress, and improve overall job satisfaction and performance.

  • 2. Responses to Resistance

    Agencies must adopt clear policies and trainings on responses to resistance to ensure that officers use appropriate levels of force to gain control of an individual resisting arrest or exhibiting non-compliant behavior.

  • 3. Bias-free Policing

    The adoption of bias-free policing practices has been shown to reduce tensions between law enforcment and communities and increase the effectiveness of policing activities. 

  • 4. Constitutional Policing

    Constitutional policing ensures law enforcement officers are operating within the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution and respecting all federal, state, and local laws within their jurisdiction. This will help reduce icivial liability and ncidents of  police misconduct.

  • 5. Improving Police & Community Relations

    Improving police and community relations is essential for ensuring public safety and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Implementing these strategies can help reduce crime and improve the overall community well-being.

  • 6. Recruitment & Retenion

    Office recruitment and retention are crical for maintaining a strong and effective police department. By implementing best practices, police departments can attract and retain high-quality officers who are committed to serving their communities with integrity and professionalism.

  • Trauma-informed Policing

    Training police officers to understand the effects of trauma on behavior, communication, and descision making can promote the safety and well for all.
