Improving Overall Wellness through Formal Mentoring
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Office of Professional Development and Wellness (OPDW) has been formally in operation for more than 13 years. The OPDW, internally known as “Wellness,” began as a disciplinary referral program and is now accessible to all of the IMPD’s 1,500 sworn and 200 civilian employees, as well as their family members. As the wellness program quickly evolved, it became evident that the best approach to organizational, cultural, and individual wellness was a proactive one. At this point, the OPDW set out to create forward-thinking and progressive ways to build a more resilient police organization. One of those innovative programs, which has become a cornerstone of the IMPD OPDW, is the Mentor Program.
