Author: LETTAC, LETTAC

Cases of violence in the homes and relationships of agency members are a reality. Incidents of violence in law enforcement families are no different from those in the general population and can escalate to homicide, suicide, and familicide. By sharing personal experience and focusing on national promising practices and resources, this webinar will present information on how, through agency policy, comprehensive training, effective leadership, and family and victim relationship building, agencies can address gaps in service, hold offenders accountable, support victims, and significantly impact not only the health and wellness of individual officers, but also strengthen agency-wide culture and climate and community trust.
