This program was incredibly helpful to me. Kelly's expertise helped make BlueFit and fun, safe, and rewarding experience. I personally had a significant drop in blood pressure and an increase in activity that continues to this day. Having Kelly full-time would result in her also being able to lead physical training for recruits, resulting in more successful employees as they enter the stressful FTO phase. Given the connection of fitness to sick time, uses of force, discipline, and medical payments, it is likely the position would pay for itself every year.

I think having a fitness and nutrition program in the department is long over due. Kelly is a phenomenal trainer, coach, and wellness mentor. I think we would be losing a tremendous asset if we do not retain her in this position.

We need blue fit, there are numerous things the PD spends money on that is not a priority. Officer wellness and health is vital. Can not put $'s on health and wellness.

This is a necessity for not just physical but mental well-being of officers as well
