Prioritizing Wellness in Law Enforcement: A Call to Action for 2025
Wow, 2025 is here! As a child, I envisioned a future filled with flying cars and robots handling our daily tasks. Clearly, we aren’t quite there yet, but with AI and cars that drive themselves, I clearly see we are on that path. I wanted to write my first article of 2025 focusing on a critical and timely topic: wellness.
