MovementForward, Inc. is pleased to share details regarding the 2026 Professionalizing Law Enforcement–Community Engagement Training (PLECET) National Conference, taking place May 27–31, 2026, in Dallas, Texas.

PLECET is the nation’s only annual conference dedicated entirely to professionalizing community engagement within law enforcement — bringing together sworn and professional public safety personnel assigned to community policing, outreach, engagement, public information, and community affairs from agencies across all 50 states.

Since launching PLECET in 2023, MFI — in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice, all major national law enforcement associations, and our corporate and foundation partners — has worked diligently to elevate this critical function through specialized training, peer learning, and professional development grounded in evidence, practice, and results.

We are excited to officially share the 2026 PLECET Information Video, developed in collaboration with national law enforcement partners, which provides a clear overview of the conference, its purpose, and its impact:
