FAWLEP also recognized sworn officers, civilian professionals and community leaders at its inaugural Awards & Scholarship Brunch and hosted its first Family & Friends Cookout to bring members and their families together.
As part of its commitment to developing future public safety professionals, the association awarded three $1,000 scholarships to students pursuing careers related to public safety.
FAWLEP is inviting sworn and civilian law enforcement professionals, emerging leaders, retirees, students and community partners to join its network and support its leadership development, mentorship and community service initiatives.
