The Mindful Officer

The Mindful Officer class was developed by an officer to teach officers about the hidden impacts of the job. The class teaches them several mindfulness techniques that they can incorporate into their daily work and personal lives. It has been taught at the Colorado Springs, Colorado, Police Department since 2016 and to thousands of officers across the United States. This presentation will incorporate discussion about issues facing law enforcement that often go overlooked and how mindfulness can help officers maintain mental well-being. The speaker will also guide attendees through several mindfulness exercises.
