Force in Focus Symposium: From Conflict to Cooperation
In a climate where the use of force in law enforcement has evolved into a complex and divisive issue, we recognize the need for a more constructive dialogue. The "Force in Focus Symposium" returns, reinvigorated and committed to fostering meaningful discussions that transcend political divides.
Join us for this three-day summit as we gather experts, practitioners, and thought leaders from across the United States. Together, we will delve into profound reflections, explore innovative transformations, and seek collaborative solutions. Our speakers will provide a candid examination of lessons learned and share strategies for reinventing policies that prioritize transparency and community engagement, all while maintaining the safety and resilience of law enforcement in an era of heightened media scrutiny.
Together, we aim to shift the conversation surrounding the use of force in America from conflict to cooperation, creating a safer and more just society for all.
