The goal of this summit is to encourage, educate and inspire organizations to embrace a culture of wellness. This is an event focused on addressing the physical, mental and emotional well-being of policing professionals. This summit aims to provide support, resources, and education to help personnel cope with the challenges and stresses associated with this demanding profession.
