As relations between law enforcement and community members are increasingly strained, Center for Council is committed to finding ways to foster recognition of the value of our diverse cultures and shared humanity, as well as practices that generate productive dialogue and opportunities for connection.
Cops & Communities: Circling Up is a Center for Council program that enables law enforcement officers and community leaders to explore the common ground in their diverse experiences and the ways in which Council can foster critical conversations around improving community-police relations and neighborhood resilience.

The project integrates Council into a living expression of compassionate community and offers an opportunity for healing bruised relations through the simple act of sharing our authentic stories and listening from the heart. The project builds on Center for Council’s training workshops offered in separate settings for law enforcement officers and community groups. These workshops teach tools for practicing mindfulness and skillful communication with the intention of enhancing individual well-being and positive workplace culture.
