About the Program

Category: Health (Best in Category)

Year: 2022

On April 1, 2021, a core group of personnel that represented the makeup of the Sheriff’s Office had its first Wellness Committee meeting. Our goal was to create a wellness program that not only addressed the obvious and unspoken effects COVID-19 was having on our staff, their families, and our communities, it also would address the health concerns that arise from service as a Law Enforcement professional. Our policy statement is: The Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office wellness program is designed to enrich the lives of its employees by improving the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health of all employees. Through education, collaboration, and participation employees will develop a balanced lifestyle that enhances their personal and professional lives.
