Mindful Policing

Join Pacific University in a unique training and research collaboration that translates the science of resiliency into an 8 week, skill-building training for police officers using principles of mindfulness.

Learn skills that cultivate and sustain the emotional intelligence necessary for optimum performance. A deep exploration into the discipline of awareness as it relates to resiliency, warrior ethos and community building. With a focus on mindfulness, explore new levels of potential toward self-awareness, attunement to others, compassion, wisdom and peak performance. Officers will learn evidence-based skills that when cultivated can change their relationship with stress, enhance resiliency and improve performance under stress.
