A career in law enforcement used to be considered an honorable profession. In today's era, there is a negative portrayal of police that can be demoralizing. Many police officers feel they are under assault by the media and the public at large. They therefore feel unappreciated, misunderstood and vilified which has created a negative, toxic and emotionally unhealthy environment resulting in a serious law enforcement morale crisis that is affecting the well-being of officers across the United States. Learn how to identify and combat the disillusionment, anger and negativity currently present. Hear from a panel of a tenured command officer, front-line police supervisor and a police psychologist for practical strategies that you can implement at your agency to protect your officers.
