Have you wondered how we can do a better job of recruiting and training law enforcement officers and what makes officers choose to leave or stay through retirement? If so, please join us to learn about an NIJ-funded project on the policing lifecycle.

Hear what Dennis Rosenbaum and his team are doing to help improve officer health, productivity and attitudes; increase effectiveness of police training programs and supervisory methods; improve leadership development; and establish standardized and widely accepted definitions and benchmarks for good policing.

Whether you are a policymaker, decision-maker or an officer in the field, if you are interested in policing, this event is for you.

The seminar is free, but you must RSVP to gain access to the OJP building. Allow 20 minutes to go through security.

Presenters:
Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum, Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago
Dr. Gary Cordner, Professor, Kutztown University
Dr. Lorie Fridell, Associate Professor, University of South Florida
Dr. Stephen Mastrofski, Professor, George Mason University
