In September 2016, we hosted a three-day conference that brought together law enforcement practitioners, senior law enforcement executives, mental health professionals, experts in various topical areas, and academics to discuss some of the most pressing issues law enforcement is facing today. The Summit featured keynote speakers who are engaged in contemporary issues at the national level, and panel presentations and discussions on topics at the forefront of the profession. FLETC trains officers and agents from more than 90 federal law enforcement agencies, Deputy Director as well as thousands of state, local, tribal, and international officers annually. To ensure William Fallon our curriculum is relevant to the current context law enforcement operates in, it is imperative that we seek expertise and perspectives from those who study, shape, and execute the profession. In deciding to host this Summit, FLETC Director Connie Patrick aimed to provide a forum for FLETC and Partner Organization staff to hear the perspectives and viewpoints of experts and practitioners on prominent topics in law enforcement, and to subsequently consider potential modifications to training. We identified a host of subjects for presentations and discussions at the Summit, including Mental Health Issues Affecting Law Enforcement Responses, Mental Health Resilience for Law Enforcement Officers, Media and Community Relations, Biases Affecting the Law Enforcement Community, Body Worn Cameras, Effective Police Social Interactions, The Warrior and Guardian Mindsets, and Use of Force.
