A recent article published by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) lists financial fitness as one of the essential factors for officers to stay mentally healthy and maintain above average stability in other aspects of their life.

Policing can no longer move forward with initiatives and programs without critically questioning their effective-ness. EBP goes further than simply examining data at the surface level. Instead, it looks to employ empirical methods and past findings to ques-tion why we do what we do, and to evaluate if our strategies are benefi-cial or harmful.
