That is a wrap on my time at #IACP2024. I am grateful for the days of learning alongside leaders from across the world. A huge thanks to all at the Boston Police Department for sharing such a warm welcome and helping facilitate these extraordinary days of learning.

As a Community Engagement Manager, the #IACP2024 workshop, “Actionable Guidance for Establishing a Comprehensive Community Policing Model Within Your Agency” was one of my favorite sessions to participate in. Chicago Police Director of Community Engagement Glen Brooks, Assistant Commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force Dr. Chaswell Hanna Ph.D., Chief David Hess of the Roxboro Police Department, Chief James Lyon Augusta University Police and Serve and Connect CEO Kassy Alia Ray Ph.D., all shared valuable lessons learned and successes in their community policing models.

Enjoying connecting with law enforcement from across the globe. Special thanks to all from the Boston Police Department, who have extended such amazing hospitality. #IACP2024
