Police1’s fourth annual State of the Industry survey focused on what officers need to improve their wellbeing. Our expert panel will break down the responses from 2,833 officers and provide actionable insights for police chiefs. The discussion will review mental health support, wellness checks and how to create an environment that encourages officers to seek help without fear of stigma or repercussions. Chiefs will learn how prioritizing officer wellness can improve job performance and safety within their forces.
Additionally, the panelists will cover practical solutions to common challenges such as managing work hours, integrating wellness programs into daily operations and fostering a balanced work-life culture. Experts will share strategies for providing support services and promoting overall health, including the provision of counseling services and fitness opportunities during shifts.
During this webinar, sponsored by Utility, panelists will discuss strategies to address key findings of the survey, including how to:
- Implement effective tools for mental health support and conduct regular wellness checks.
- Create a supportive environment that reduces stigma around seeking help.
- Develop practical solutions for managing work hours and integrating wellness programs into daily operations.
- Foster a balanced work-life culture and the value of peer support networks.
