NO COP OUTS MEETINGS!
The Drug and Alcohol Section of the Professional Counseling Division will host a virtual No Cop Outs (NCO) / AA meeting via Zoom on Saturday, 14 September 2024, and Sunday, 15 September 2024, from 1200-1300 hours. No Cop Outs is a meeting place for police officers experiencing difficulties in their lives or those looking to make changes due to alcohol and related addictions. Everyone is welcome at No Cop Outs, regardless of rank, gender, race, or religion. Attendance at a No Cop Outs meeting is entirely voluntary and confidential. There are no records of attendance or membership, and members share only what they wish to disclose about themselves. By attending a No Cop Outs meeting, you will be offered friendship, understanding, and support from fellow police officers who have walked the walk. Many police officers have turned their lives around by becoming part of No Cop Outs. Login information for this meeting, as well as details about other NCO meetings, can be obtained by calling any of the Professional Counseling Division’s three locations: North: (312) 742 0226; Central: (312) 743-0378; South: (312) 742-0222; Further information about resources, including other NCO meetings, can also be found by visiting the EAP page on The Wire or accessing the Cordico App.
