Officer Safety and Wellness.  Sponsored by Genetec

IACLEA’s Summit Series examined Officer Safety and Wellness. Our panel of experts focused on how the job impacts the wellness of officers—on and off duty. The common practice is to address mental health issues after major traumatic events (e.g., officer-involved shooting, child sex abuse cases, etc.). But many more “minor” incidents can also cause trauma for officers, as can the build-up of daily witnessing these events. Panelists discussed the impact of these micro-traumas, as well as strategies for getting officers' assistance. Panelists also addressed keeping officers safe and mentally fit, particularly given current events.

Confirmed panelists for this event:

  • Lieutenant Brett Parson, Metropolitan Police Department (ret.)
  • Chief David Perry, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
  • Chief Kristen Roman, University of Wisconsin – Madison
  • Chief Angela Webb, Southwest Tennessee Community College
