Coaching Within Policing

Deputy Chief pix touched up.png

“I first met Jessica Nowaski when I started researching the role of coaching in law enforcement. In my arrogance, I had assumed the idea of coaching in policing was a new one. Jess shattered my illusion. She talked, as a deputy police chief, about the need for a shift in the culture of law enforcement and how she was using coaching as a tool of leadership development to do just that.”
