2026 NACOLE Webinar Series (May)

Beyond Compliance: Using Oversight to Drive Wellness and Cultural Reform

Tuesday, May 5, 2026
2:00 - 3:00 pm EDT - Webinar
3:00 - 3:30 pm EDT - Optional Post-webinar Discussion (Only those who attend the live webinar will be able to join the discussion.)

This webinar will address issues relevant to both police oversight and correctional oversight.


Oversight professionals often encounter resistance from law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities, where oversight is perceived as punitive rather than collaborative. This webinar reframes oversight as a strategic tool for organizational wellness, emphasizing how accountability, transparency, and innovative partnerships can improve officer and staff well-being, enhance community trust, and drive cultural change. The webinar will address how to move from adversarial dynamics to collaborative solutions that improve wellness and accountability in both policing and corrections. Participants will leave with a framework and actionable strategies to overcome resistance and foster collaboration, even in challenging environments.

The panel includes perspectives from experienced law enforcement leaders to provide a broader understanding of barriers to oversight: not just what oversight practitioners perceive, but how these challenges look from inside agencies. Understanding these viewpoints is essential for developing strategies that resonate with leadership and foster meaningful cultural change.

Panelists:
Michelle Caron, Principal, LawSec Consultants
Teresa Magula, Managing Owner, OIR Group
Ralph Ornelas, Commander (retired), Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
Jeff Wenninger, CEO, Law Enforcement Consultants, LLC
