For this discussion, explore the following:
- Could your agency benefit from your officers performing at their peak with a nexus to improved community relations? Our communities and environments are diverse and constantly evolving, and our efforts to support organizational wellness should reflect this.
- How can we increase resources for police officers to ensure they have support to do their jobs?
- If you have ever requested a cover unit during a tense situation, you understand the relief in hearing your partner respond on the radio, “I’m en route.” Why is it we have little hesitation with requesting assistance in the field, but when it comes to our personal lives, we struggle with something we do routinely? How do we overlook the relationship between personal interactions and professional performance? Take it a step further and recall a time when you asked for assistance, and the other party was not only willing to help but appreciative of the opportunity to be alongside you in support.
