Conduct and Safety While Attending

Our meetings, training sessions, and other conference events seek to enable engaging, thought-provoking conversations that support NABLEO's core mission of advancing the partnerships with the communities we serve and enhancing our professional and personal development as law enforcement professionals. Accordingly, NABLEO is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, regardless of their affiliation, at all NABLEO-related events.

Pandemic Protections

We care deeply about the health and well-being of our members, presenters and conference attendees. NABLEO safety measures have been planned to meet or exceed applicable CDC and/or governmental requirements and guidance related to the current Coronavirus pandemic, and will continue to evolve as we revise our protocols to follow updated guidance from public health authorities and maintain the most relevant levels of protection for all conference attendees.

While current CDC guidelines no longer require fully vaccinated persons to wear face coverings in public areas, and require them for individuals that are not fully vaccinated, conference attendees may be asked to wear face coverings so as to further insure their safety.

Cell Phones and Pagers

We ask that all cell phones and audible pagers be placed in silent or muted mode when present in a workshop session.

Sexual Harassment Policy

It is the policy of the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers, Inc. (NABLEO) that the sexual harassment of any member and guests is unacceptable and prohibited. It is important that NABLEO members and guests enjoy an environment free from implicit and explicit behavior used to control, influence, or affect the wellbeing of any individual attending a NABLEO sponsored function.

Sexual harassment is the introduction of sexual activities, and sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical conduct and expressive behavior of a sexual nature. However, sexual harassment may also involve relationships among equals, as when repeated sexual advances or demeaning verbal behavior, or any hostile offensive, intimidating or intimidation, unwanted sexual behavior, humor or speech have a harmful effect and inhibits any individual’s ability to participate in any NABLEO sponsored function.

Anti-Discrimination Policy

NABLEO has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at our events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others. The National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers, Inc. (NABLEO) does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. And, while NABLEO membership does cater to law enforcement officers of color, ALL EDUCATION AND TRAINING SESSIONS ARE OPEN TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, NATIONAL ORIGIN, OR ETHNICITY, EXCEPT FOR THOSE PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR MEMBERS ONLY.
