How the Police Foundation Is Helping LMPD Families

Facing an alarmingly high divorce rate among officers several years ago, the LMPD Command Staff asked the Police Foundation if it could help. Police Foundation board member Rev. Bob Russell had an idea: the Foundation should offer marriage enrichment seminars to help LMPD officers and their spouses repair and strengthen their relationships. Three years later, the seminars continue to enjoy strong attendance. Read The Courier-Journal story.
