Ep. 31 Lt. Jim Glennon:Creating Healthy Agency Cultures

Lt. Jim Glennon on Creating Healthy Agency Cultures of Resilience, speaking with Richard Goerling. 30-year veteran police officer and homicide investigator, Lt. Jim Glennon (ret.), a nationally recognized instructor, speaker, author and owner of Calibre Press, a major law enforcement publishing, training and education organization, discusses current challenges, law enforcement training, and the future of public safety. Many more police officers die from the effects of stress and trauma, including suicidality and chronic stress related illnesses and cardiovascular events, than in shootings or accidents. Police officers are exposed to brutal and traumatic situations that are very difficult to share with anyone and experience toxic levels of stress over the course of their career. Current training and wellness programs are completely insufficient to prepare officers for the work they do or to protect their long-term health and wellbeing. LT. JIM GLENNON Jim Glennon is a nationally recognized instructor, speaker, author and owner of Calibre Press. For 30 years he served with the Lombard (IL) Police Department where he retired at the rank of Lieutenant.
