Overview
A strong and healthy home environment is the foundation of a high performing law enforcement officer. Just as the physical body needs good food and regular exercise to operate at peak performance, a relationship also needs to be fed and strengthened.
The Police and Family Workshop is an arena where family members can engage with each other in a new way, discovering deeper levels of understanding and revisiting values that keep the family together.
Participants will take away tools to improve connection and increase intimacy. Both LEOs and their loved ones will find their voices through the interactive exercises in a safe environment.
This two- and half-day conference begins with an orientation and dinner Friday evening. Saturday will kick off with the 5 Love Languages and how to help each other feel loved and fulfilled in your relationship; followed by a session on Conflict and Conflict Resolution. Participants will enjoy a night of fun with a voluntary group dinner. Sunday starts with Building Financially Strong Families with Nick Daugherty, Financial Cop LLC. The afternoon will focus on learning skills and tools to process Emotional Survival, with breakout sessions and chaplains available.
Join us for this worthwhile investment of your time.

Faculty
Matt began work as a Detective in 2000 until his promotion to Sergeant in 2002, serving in the Patrol Section and Community Services Section. Matt later promoted to the ranks of Lieutenant in 2009 and Captain in 2014. During his career, Matt also served as Defensive Tactics Instructor, Hostage Negotiator (Team Leader), and the Department's first and only instructor certified by the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths (IPICD) to teach on the topic of Excited Delirium and Agitated Chaotic Events. Matt founded the Department’s Critical Incident Stress Management Team in 2004, serving as Team Leader for over 12 years, and helped create the Department's Volunteer Patrol program, Police Chaplaincy team, and Intimate Partner Violence response protocols.
Mr. Clem holds a Master Peace Officers License and is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement licensed instructor. Mr. Clem is a graduate of the Advanced Management College at the Institute for Law Enforcement Administration, the Senior Management Institute for Police (PERF), and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Criminology & Criminal Justice, both from the University of Texas at Arlington.
In 2012 he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He semi-retired in August of 2017 and continues to serve as a reserve officer for GPPD.
At a young age Nick did a lot of irresponsible things with money partaking in “stupid tax” purchases (the art of buying toys that you can’t afford using plastic). Before he knew it, he had accumulated over $80,000 in consumer debt, most of which was wrapped up in car stereo equipment, cars, and just plain ole stuff.
He quickly realized that he needed to educate himself on personal finances and work to get out of the hole he dug himself into and built a plan to get himself out of debt. He worked over a thousand hours of overtime, sold a bunch of stuff, and was able to scream out to the world “I’m debt free” on March 7, 2007! Nick is a certified master trained financial coach and has coached hundreds of first responders through financial crisis, working with several local, and national non-profits supporting first responders that are in financial crisis.
