This conference workshop presentation provides guidance for law enforcement officers and agencies to develop and enhance an agency wellness program. Policing is a difficult and stressful job, with higher physical and mental health risks than many other professions. In response to the physical and mental challenges that law enforcement officers face, many agencies are beginning to provide wellness services and resources to their officers. Using IACP's new Agency Assessment Tool and Action Planning Roadmap, attendees hear from experts in the field on steps to build a comprehensive health and wellness program. Field experts also share their own experiences in establishing officer health and wellness programming, from challenges they faced to hurdles they overcame and the lessons they learned along the way. This workshop highlights implementation science and what makes changes stick as well as the culture of wellness specifically focusing on mental health in the current climate. Viewers will leave with an action planning tool to assist in identifying the next steps, the importance of those steps, and who will take the lead. The workshop also includes information on safety and wellness resources available from the IACP.
