This one-day conference aims to develop practical solutions for law enforcement recruitment and retention issues. It will bring together elected officials, public administrators, and law enforcement leaders for expert-led discussions and presentations. Our goal is to create effective strategies for implementation across cities, counties, and states nationwide. This collaborative effort goes beyond simply identifying problems to structured, cross-sector actions. By focusing on areas within the influence of municipalities, counties, and states—such as funding, training pipelines, hiring standards, community trust, and organizational culture—this conference seeks to produce measurable improvements in the law enforcement workforce
