THE FUSE

The amazing team of positive psychology scientists, Dr. Martin Seligman and Dr. James Pawelski, have set an ambitious moonshot goal: 51 percent of the world flourishing by 2051. As someone who spent a full career in law enforcement before transitioning to positive psychology, where I now bridge the two, I believe this 51 percent goal must include our community protectors—our law enforcement officers. For they are the lifeblood of our communities and our constitutional republic. For those who may not have a positive view of law enforcement as a profession in light of some current challenges, I encourage you to consider how those interactions may be different if we improve individual and agency well-being.
