    Webinar - New Orleans Police Department’s Ethical Policing Is Courageous Program

    Ethical Policing Is Courageous (EPIC) is a program developed by the New Orleans, Louisiana Police Department (NOPD) in an effort to educate and support its officers in the practice of peer intervention. Through EPIC, NOPD trains members of its department to identify and safely intervene when they believe that persons are at risk for doing something that would harm themselves and/or others. This peer approach to “policing” one another has proved effective for NOPD in preventing harm and promoting officer wellness.
