The program focuses on sensitizing police officers and community members how on to interact with each other peacefully and with respect. Each session is centered around healing modalities such as communication with respect, yoga, fitness, meditation, visualization, healthy food choices, and live events (wellness community events) where police officers serve as peace officers while the community members share live performances, locally grown produce, social awareness performances, a community-based artist showcase their, families and children experience a day of fun and wellness activities leaving with a wealth of resources.

The Police to Peace Officers is a one-year commitment with several components such as the teacher’s training, weekly yoga, and life skill classes, also a quarterly community wellness event in the community. These live events will be used to unite the police officers and the community members reintroducing the police as Peace Officers who are serving the community.

Our objective is to implement Wellness and Mindfulness using yoga teachers’ training, life skills classes, and sharing alternative healing modalities while keeping quarterly community family events to educate and create celebration and union within the community and the police.

The Program focuses on developing positive coping mechanisms to handle stressful situations while teaching the principles of conflict resolution and key life skills which people need to become productive, peaceful leaders and citizens.

Recognizing that sometimes officers have to deal with high levels of violence, the program will include elements focused

on removing pain and emotional scarring, resetting their mindset while balancing and empowering each individual to make healthy choices in thoughts, food, and actions. This will be achieved through meditation, visualization, breath-work, vitality cleanse, and the teaching of practical skills to identify and modify thoughts thus resulting in behavioral change.
