​​​In April of 2022, Center for Council entered into a formal partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice to work together to increase law enforcement awareness of the intersectionality of wellness, compassion, procedural justice and community building.

​Through this collaboration, the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) division of the DOJ will highlight Center for Council's science-based strategies for optimizing physical, emotional, mental and relational health and its programming that explores strategies for addressing empathy fatigue, moral distress, pathological altruism, depersonalization and burnout. Ultimately, this partnership will explore the way in which the skillful integration of high ethical standards, personal well-being and sustainable practices for navigating professional demands of police work help officers enhance compassion toward both themselves and their communities. (Read the Press Release here.)

​
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by the nation's state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources.


​Center for Council's programs for law enforcement officers were recently featured in an article and podcast
produced by the COPS Office of the DOJ:
