Chiefs’ have one of the toughest jobs. Hate, violence, protests, COVID-19 and increased demands from the community have changed the policing profession. More than ever chiefs’ need a safe space where they can be “raw and real,” de-stress and de-compress, find fellowship, and get the help and support they truly need. This session will explore an innovative program developed by a police psychologist and the Colorado Chiefs’ Association to provide their members with a space where they can: receive support and validation, vent in a protected space, obtain psychological consultation and coaching, find a mentor, enhance their networking, learn from other chiefs, and build strong relationships so they no longer feel alone.
