Building Community Trust
We cannot police without the trust and support of the people we protect and serve. Trust must be earned and will not be given easily.

We will guide you to define and quantify the impact that building trust has on community wellness and safety. We can help you assess the costs and impacts of a lack of trust between you and your community. We can help you discover how to build trust within your community and how to fix broken trust.

Each Module Includes: A planning workbook, A process improvement workbook, 2 planning wall charts and 3 one-hour Zoom consulting sessions as part of the 10 hours of the total planning processes we will recommend for you to complete toward enhancing, or building your wellness initiative. At the end of our time together, you will have developed an action plan for the implementation of your chosen wellness enhancement initiatives.
This is not a quick fix, “flavor of the month” or a band-aid training solution but rather a long-term commitment to developing the comprehensive health and well-being of both law enforcement professionals AND the people they serve.
