This year, the IACP welcomed attendees from across the globe to the 2022 Officer Safety and Wellness Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia, March 15–17. Dozens of workshops on a wide range of topics were offered both in person and as pre-recorded videos. Total registration numbers surpassed those of the last fully in-person symposium in 2020, with 663 on-site attendees and 220 online attendees. Symposium attendees were provided opportunities to network with other members of the law enforcement community, hear directly from exhibitors at tabletops and solutions presentations, and collect helpful resources to take back to their agencies.

Attendees participated in several activities, including meeting therapy K-9s, morning yoga sessions, plank and push-up challenges, stretching routines, mindfulness exercises, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu demonstration. Symposium participants benefitted from meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and the latest law enforcement innovations to continue improving the culture surrounding officer safety and wellness in their own communities. We appreciate all the participants’ dedication to the worthwhile pursuit of prioritizing the physical and mental well-being of those in the profession.
