Law enforcement officers and other first responders are often the first on the scene at crime scenes and situations of distress.

This article documents two COSSUP webinars in which the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives participated and offers innovative solutions designed to change the culture of policing into one in which reform reflects equity, competence, and confidence in order to meet the evolving needs of communities.
