March: Women in Policing

This month's InFocus takes a look at women in policing, the history of research, the issues, and where we are now. In this issue, we highlight an agency that is thinking innovatively about recruiting and retaining women officers. We also interview a police executive who rose through the ranks, mentoring others, finding outlets, and leading a family of five. We know the issues and have found agencies that have pinpointed solutions. Read their stories and explore these resources.

February: Constitutional Policing

This issue of InFocus dives into the concept of constitutional policing and how it is applied to communities. Features include an interview with former Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold, a look at a Michigan sheriff's office that understands policing in a democracy, research findings, resources, and more.

January: Officer and Staff Wellness

In this first-ever issue of InFocus, we cover the critical topic of officer and staff wellness. Complete with a list of resources, an interview with a former police officer turned country music artist, and a story about a department that sets the bar high, we hope this issue creates conversation around prioritizing workforce wellness.
