2021 Year In Review

Despite many challenges presented by the ongoing pandemic, there were many successes! Here is a highlight of all that Blue Watch was able to do.

  • Held a first spouse and family event.
  • Hosted the “Officer Mindset Resiliency Conference.” Three sessions were held: two at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Training Center and one at Harvest Church in Dothan. These events were attended by 90 officers, representing 33 different agencies from across the state.
  • Dothan was our first event outside of the Birmingham area.
  • Began a book giveaway program for those in officer-involved shootings. Gave 55 books to 16 departments.
  • Presented two law enforcement-specific books, “Suicide is Not an Option” and “Winning a Gunfight” to graduates of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Academy. There were 35 graduates representing 17 Sheriff’s Offices.
  • 19.5% increase in donations.

The Year Ahead

This is what we are planning for 2022:

  • Present at the Winter Conference of the Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police.
  • Provide a ministry of presence to officers working security at the World Games 2022.
  • Expansion of the book give-away program.
  • Fall Law Enforcement Conference (details TBA).
