March 2026
The Massachusetts Latino Police Officers Association (MLPO) is proud to have partnered with Calibre Press to bring impactful and invigorating law enforcement training to the Northeast.
On March 3–4, we hosted a two-day session of the Female Enforcers Event: Peak Performance, Force Readiness & Personal Resilience. The training was led by retired Deputy Chief Cyndy Velazquez, who guided a room full of female officers representing a wide range of experience and agencies.
The course focused on core principles of the law enforcement profession, including tactics, use-of-force considerations, and analysis of high-risk encounters. The training also explored the unique challenges female officers face both on and off duty, addressing emotional, relational, and professional demands while emphasizing resilience and performance.
The Massachusetts Latino Police Officers Association remains committed to providing high-impact learning opportunities. Our training events are designed to promote growth, leadership, peak performance, and professional excellence, with a strong focus on empowering the men and women in law enforcement.
We recognize how demanding this profession can be and how the dynamic nature of critical incidents can shape careers. By bringing in highly respected instructors and professionals, we aim to create meaningful learning experiences that support both operational readiness and personal well-being, while highlighting the importance of balancing career responsibilities with physical and mental health.
We would also like to thank the departments across the Northeast that recognized the value of this training and supported their female officers by sending them to attend:
