Behind every badge is a human being. The Howard C. Liebengood Foundation makes the case for a systems-based approach to officer wellness — one that moves beyond individual coping strategies to address the organizational, cultural, and policy factors that shape long-term health outcomes for law enforcement.

Two of our distinguished board members — retired Police Chief Terrence M. Cunningham and retired ATF Assistant Director Jim Pasco — have been named among Washington, D.C.'s Most Influential People by Washingtonian magazine for 2026. The recognition reflects the reach and credibility both leaders bring to the Foundation's mission of improving the health and wellness of law enforcement officers through systemic, interdisciplinary change.
