How PTSD Affects Military Veterans In Law Enforcement
Posted: August 28, 2017
By Dr. Allan Conkey, Faculty Member, Criminal Justice at American Military University
Military veterans make perfect candidates for police departments. But how do you help those with existing PTSD?
Civilian law enforcement is among the most sought-after careers for military veterans upon separation from the armed forces. This widely acknowledged trend helps explain why upwards of 20 percent of those working in law enforcement have military experience, compared to roughly 6 percent of society at large.
As a retired officer and a three-time military chief of police, I would be among the last to argue against the benefits of police agencies recruiting veterans. Many of the characteristics instilled in military veterans – such as discipline, integrity, responsibility, and the ability to make tough calls under pressure – also are qualities desired in police officers.
However, hiring military service members can bring along challenges.

Last Chance To Give Feedback For 2018 Annual Conference
Posted: August 28, 2017
CACP Colleagues,
We’re in the process of planning for both the mid-year and annual conference next year, and we could really use your help. Although we’ve set the dates for the mid-year conference (February 15-16…add it to your calendar!), we’d like your opinion on the best dates for the annual conference. In addition, we’d like to get some feedback from you on what topics would be of most interest. Finally, if you know of some great speakers who would be well-suited to a CACP presentation, please let us know. I know how busy everyone is, but please take a few moments to fill out this survey. We want the conferences to be well worth your time, and your input is critical to making that happen. This survey closes at end of day today, August 31.
Click here to take the survey.
Thanks,
John Camper |

This Week's CACP Sponsor In The Spotlight: Visual Labs
Posted: August 27, 2017
We'd like to thank Visual Labs for its continued support of CACP. Visual Labs was a Diamond Sponsor for the Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Annual Conference and we are glad they were able to join us. Visual Labs takes a completely different approach to body worn cameras versus the many other “camera‑only” products on the market today. The Visual Labs body camera solution represents a paradigm shift in the thinking toward body worn cameras. We believe the appropriate definition of BWC is not Body Worn Camera, but instead Body Worn Computer. Thank you Visual Labs!
