Uniqueness of the Council

• 2011-Partnership formed with the Warrior Transition Battalion at Ft. Riley, KS

Why is This Partnership Important?
• On average, one Veteran is committing suicide per day
• Many returning veterans transition to civilian life immediately after deployment ends
• Often, civilian law enforcement is unprepared for the challenges this presents
