2. CELEBRATING THE WARRIOR
SPIRIT AND THE HEROES BEHIND
THE BADGE
This powerful one day seminar will explore and celebrate the concept of the Warrior Spirit. The Warrior
Spirit is a powerful force residing within each and every officer who has chosen to serve in the law
enforcement profession. This Warrior Spirit is a critical element in the ability of law enforcement officers to
be successful in a profession that is challenging, rewarding and sometimes extremely violent. The mission
for law enforcement officers, supervisors and leaders is to understand the Warrior Spirit and strive to foster,
nurture and develop that Warrior Spirit in themselves and their fellow officers. The Warrior Spirit is about
the warrior values of honor, professionalism, courage, integrity, strength, humility, and discipline.The same
traits that are reflected in the core values of every law enforcement organization in North America.
In addition to exploring and celebrating the Warrior Spirit this day is about celebrating the Heroes Behind
the Badge.The Heroes Behind the Badge are the men and women who put on a uniform everyday and
willingly put themselves in harms way to help protect members of society and to serve their community.
“Before we call any collection of belligerents a culture of warriors, we should first ask why they fight, how
they fight, what brings them honor, and what brings them shame. The answers to these questions will
reveal whether or not they have a true warrior’s code."
The Warrior’s Code by Prof. Shannon E. French, Ph.D., U.S. Naval Academy
Why warriors fight, how warriors fight, what brings them honor and what brings them shame will be
explored through the powerful presentation by Randy Watt - One Warrior’s Creed. One Warrior’s Creed is a
philosophy, a way of living, training and preparing mentally and physically for the realities of the warrior
profession. Randy will break down each line of the creed and give everyone in attendance a deep and
powerful insight into the need to be trained, fit and ready for any circumstance, for any opponent, for any
challenge.
Carrying on with the theme of fit, trained and ready Michael Neal, the 2011 IACP Officer of the Year will
share his role in ending a brutal gun battle in West Memphis, Arkansas that resulted in the death of two
West Memphis police officers and critically wounding of a Crittenden County Sheriff and his Chief Deputy.
Michael ended the killing spree by ramming his state issued patrol vehicle into a minivan carrying two
shooters. While under direct fire, he engaged them in a fierce gun battle, eliminated the threat and saved
many lives.
The day will end with a screening of the documentary film Heroes Behind the Badge. The official release of
this full length feature film will be September 29, at the 2012 IACP conference. Those in attendance on
October 25 will be among the first officers in North America to view this professional film which honors the
heroes of the law enforcement profession in North America and will receive a copy of the documentary film
in DVD or Full HD Blu-Ray.
This seminar will definitely change your life, and may very well save your life.
