The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (ILACP) Annual Conference will be held on 27 to 29 April 2022 in Northbrook, Illinois. Thomas Lemmer, Founder of Secure 1776 and the creator of the “Eight Levels of Supervisory Engagement,” will be presenting at the conference. A fundamental truth of organizations, including law enforcement agencies, is that underperforming and problem employees exist. When the underperforming or problem employee is a supervisor, the need for the organization to respond is elevated. This is true even when supervisors are merely ineffective, as ineffective supervisors foster a less effective workforce. However, the impact on the agency is even worse, when supervisors do not support the organization’s values, goals, and strategies. A 90-minute conference version of the course, “Understanding the Eight Levels of Supervisory Engagement,” will be provided to law enforcement executives. Through this course, leaders will have a solid introduction to the model and enhanced skills from which to foster supervisory excellence within their agencies. [Click the link below to read more.]

Covid-19 pandemic response lockdowns and mandates have come at tremendous cost. In urban areas across America, the pandemic has been blamed for a long list of problems – including rising violence. Some of that blame is a convenient political cover for misguided justice “reform” initiatives, non-prosecutor prosecutors, and unrealistic demands for “tragedy-free” policing. Constitutional rights to speech, assembly, religion and bodily autonomy have been trampled, and science has been corrupted. Among the biggest casualties during the pandemic has been the truth. Secure 1776 hopes to further the cause of truth with a recommendation to view a 26 January 2022 presentation by Dr. Scott Atlas. Quoting Dr. Atlas: “There is no public benefit” to the Covid-19 vaccines (ref. 54:50 in the below video presentation). The benefit is only to the person taking the vaccine – specifically with respect to those individuals with several co-morbidities and who are at high risk of severe illness or death from Covid. Given the risks the vaccines themselves pose – vaccine mandates for otherwise healthy people are not supported by the data. Firing employees (public or otherwise) for not taking the (still experimental) vaccines is beyond unreasonable. Worse, firing unvaccinated police officers, and using the police as the face and muscle of pandemic restrictions enforcement, weakens overall public safety. [Click the link below to read more.]
