Great to see Oregon officers gain access to Wellness and resilience programs. Thanks to the City of Bend Police Department and Portland Police Bureau for looking at ways to keep the best and the brightest.

Here's a snippet from The Oregonian article:
As the bureau struggles to retain veteran officers while being unable to fill more than 100 vacancies fast enough, Training Sgt. Todd Tackett and Harris are tasked with developing a program that will help police get through their law enforcement careers intact, both physically and mentally.

“There’s a need here to support our folks and help build their resilience throughout their careers,’’ Harris said. “We can be bouncing from a horrible crash scene to someone upset because they’ve had to wait a long time for a police response. How do we give our folks the ability to stay grounded?’’

Thank you to Officer Tom Sattler for going above and beyond the call of duty, to Social Goods for capturing and sharing the post, and to KATU News for telling the story!
