About the Christian Law Enforcement Summit:
Our mission at the Law Enforcement Summit seeks to provide tools for character and ministry designed by cops, developed by cops, taught by cops and their families, so that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to cope with the life of being a cop in a world gone crazy.

Our vision for each Law Enforcement Summit is to provide an interactive process where Christian officers and their spouses, by talking about their own life experiences, can share strengths and successes in maintaining their faith - faith in themselves, faith in others, faith in the SYSTEM and faith in a loving God.

Our reason is, often the only place a law enforcement officer feels safe is with fellow officers. It is easy to see how, given the day to day assault on these officers, that without God's strength they can become bitter, disillusioned and even abusive veterans. This conference is designed to say, "It is okay to be a cop and be a Christian."

Our participants:
Sworn personnel, any full-time or honorably retired *peace officer (*peace officers as defined by the individual province or state of certification, licensure or oath where the person is employed or since retired), federal law enforcement agents, regardless of jurisdiction or assignment, that operate in a full-time capacity or a *peace officer who has been officially retired due to disability or medical reasons for injuries sustained in the course of their official law enforcement duties.
Direct Support personnel:  any person honorably retired from or employed in a full-time position at a law enforcement agency and operates in a capacity that directly supports the operational efforts or welfare of sworn law enforcement personnel,  law enforcement dispatchers, aircraft pilots, medical examiners, deputy medical examiners, medical examiner investigators, law enforcement psychologists or any person, by reason of assignment who operates in direct support of sworn law enforcement personnel engaged in criminal investigations and enforcement of federal and/or state laws;  personnel officially recognized by a law enforcement agency as a chaplain and actively engaged in the direct support of full-time sworn law enforcement personnel, mental health professionals whose duties require their active engagement and direct support of sworn and law enforcement support personnel.
