March 2021

National Women’s History Month

March 1, 2021

They make up roughly 11% of peace officers in the United States. They have to overcome discrimination in the field, are thought by some to be “too weak” or “too emotional” to succeed in leadership positions, and often face stress and burnout due to bias, harassment and lack of acceptance. Yet, through it all, women in law enforcement continue to excel in handling hostile situations without excessive force, improving community–police relations and pushing law enforcement toward being a more diverse and united profession.

It is rare for a bill to make it to the governor’s desk in its original form. Read More

Federal Legislation – A Minor Case of Deja Vu

March 1, 2021

One could be forgiven for looking at a headline from earlier this month — impeachment, acquittal and Donald Trump — and having some confusion on what year it is.
