Our Vision for 2025
We are committed to four key priorities that drive our impact:
1. Developing Executive Leadership
We nurture the next generation of law enforcement leaders through mentorship, professional development, and leadership training. By equipping our members with essential skills, we ensure they are ready to excel in their careers and contribute to systemic improvements in public safety.
2. Expanding and Diversifying Membership
A strong and effective organization benefits from diverse perspectives. We actively recruit law enforcement professionals who share our commitment to fairness, fostering inclusive representation, and ensuring that our chapter reflects the communities we serve.
3. Engaging Youth and Strengthening Community Partnerships
Empowering young people is essential to building safer communities. Through outreach programs, educational initiatives, and strategic partnerships, we introduce youth to careers in law enforcement, develop their leadership potential, and foster positive relationships between officers and the community.
4. Strengthening Community Trust
Public safety depends on collaboration and mutual respect. We engage with community leaders, organizations, and residents to implement effective policing strategies, promote meaningful dialogue, and build trust between law enforcement and the people we serve.
I extend my deepest gratitude to our Executive Board for their unwavering commitment, our volunteers for their dedication, and our partners—including the CL3-Team Alliance—for their efforts in fostering critical conversations between law enforcement and youth.
