A calling to protect and serve your communities not just during times of peril, but every day, whether [keeping kids entertained during COVID-19 lockdowns]( or [paying for an elderly person's car repairs](. You tirelessly work to improve the lives of your community members, striving for the utmost professionalism while performing a job you take very personally. In today's newsletter we look at both the professional and personal issues currently facing law enforcement: - Gordon Graham makes the case for why officers need to be fully trained to perform their rightful work - Lt. Travis Norton outlines the seven steps courageous leaders must take during the current crisis - Jim Dudley discusses how California police unions are taking a stand on police reform - Lt. Dan Marcou makes a case for why an officer may need to leave their department, but should not leave law enforcement - Barbara Schwartz argues the critical importance of cops taking care of cops.
