Hi WIFLE!

I hope this email finds you well.  

I wanted to pass along an article that I published since the conference: “Cultivating a Culture of Care”.  

The WIFLE conference was a “game-changer” - opening additional opportunities to inform and inspire compassion and care within our agencies.  I don’t know if you’re looking for content to email to your members, but please feel free to share if you think it might be helpful.  

Continued blessings!

Peace and love,

Dorie

Blue Campaign, the Department of Homeland Security’s initiative to combat human trafficking. Your organization previously expressed interest in collaborating with Blue Campaign and I wanted to follow up with a few opportunities that might interest you, specifically our free materials that can be shared online and/or through newsletters and social media, on your website, with stakeholders or placed on display throughout your facilities.

 

Some of our newest materials include:

•  Our “Second Look” Public Service Announcement

• “What is Human Trafficking“ Infographic and Animated Video 

• “What Does Human Trafficking Look Like?” Posters

 

As you may know, human trafficking is one of our country’s largest growing – and most heinous – crimes, and the Blue Campaign cannot combat it alone. Your involvement in raising awareness of human trafficking is pivotal in ending this horrific crime in your community and in our country. We hope you are interested in sharing our materials and developing a long-term relationship to help us combat this crime.

Brian A. Reaves, Ph.D., Bureau of Justice Statistics Presents findings on local police departments by population served in 2013, including comparisons with previous survey years. The report focuses on trends in the adoption of new types of equipment and technology. Topics include nonlethal weapons, in-car and body-worn video cameras, and license plate readers. The report covers the use of information technology by officers in the field to access records systems and to transmit incident reports. It also covers the use of websites and social media by departments for exchanging information with citizens. Data are from the 2013 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey.
