					<description><![CDATA[Small law enforcement agencies deserve the best possible wellness initiatives to keep their people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit. For small agencies, usually with less than twenty-five employees, paying for training, both in time and money, can be daunting. The Law Enforcement Survival Institute has a wellness building solution specifically for small police and sheriff's agencies. It is also suitable for small groups and academy training classes. Whether it's physical, mental, emotional or spiritual survival from the rigors of law enforcement, this will give you all that you need to begin building your law enforcement wellness system. <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://www.copsalive.com/building-small-police-agency-wellness/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>

During that walk expand your awareness to see, hear, feel, smell and sense things that you have not noticed before.  Increase your sense of mindfulness and be open to where your mind takes you.  Stop and examine the small things, look outwardly and experience the vastness that surrounds you.   <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://www.copsalive.com/try-an-awe-walk/">Continue reading</a>]]></description>
