New Zealand Police: Enhancing Leadership and Resilience

This presentation brings together international researchers and police professionals to demonstrate how a research study utilized empirical data to develop a resilience program for New Zealand Police executive leadership.
The results indicate resilience practices including experiencing and reflecting on awe, controlled breathing, hope and optimism, meaning and purpose in life, and gratitude were embraced by the police executive participants and that it supported their overall wellbeing related to both their work and with their personal lives.
This presentation discusses these results and implications for other police leaders.
