Tension or Trust: Navigating Community-Police Relations
Every relationship between supervisor and employee, business and customer, or organization and community is fueled on either tension or trust. In this keynote, Jason draws from his leadership experience in public safety to show how trust is created or eroded in critical moments. Participants will explore real-world dynamics and learn how to replace tension with collaboration. Attendees leave with actionable strategies to foster transparency, accountability, and strong relationships that drive success.
