Vera Institute of Justice

This webinar is designed to support police professionals in their work to protect the health of communities and officers during the coronavirus pandemic. Former and current leaders in policing discuss strategies for reducing the number of people who come in contact with law enforcement and opportunities for further reducing the number of people going to jail, including strategies for limiting enforcement and those that can take place at 911/dispatch. Panelists also discuss how police leaders can support the health and wellness of officers during this unprecedented time.
