This publication of the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) summarizes the Officer Safety and Wellness Group Meeting.
This report published by the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) presents a summary of the Officer Safety and Wellness Group Meeting. Founded in 2011, the National Officer Safety and Wellness (OSW) Group is a collaborative initiative of DOJ’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) and the BJA. BJA’s Safer Together initiative provides an adaptable framework to support these efforts while keeping officer safety and wellness at the core and recognizing the inextricable link between community and officer wellness. Successful implementation and sustainable institutionalization of the principles that undergird Safer Together requires early engagement of those principles. One positive interaction at a time will improve community climate and generate a collaborative partnership between communities and law enforcement officers (LEOs), working toward shared goals of safety and wellness.
