Attendees included active duty and retired law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, corrections officers, dispatchers, Emergency Room medical staff and more, as well as their spouses and significant others.

Keynote speaker Dan Willis, author of “Bulletproof Spirit,” delivered a presentation focused on resilience and mental wellness for those in high-stress roles.
