For our office meetings where we had to talk about safety, a good thing was always safe driving. You can find a ton of stuff online to use. Distracted driving or during bad weather, etc.

Agreed, I did safe driving in the rain last presentation. Huge hit

The importance of establishing safe words beforehand

Diversity and proper pronouns

Finding broken windows then becomes THE metric that the police force uses to claim its success, ignoring some of the bigger, glaring problems. Rookie officers feel the pressure to go in search of broken windows or even pencil whip a broken windows form. Supervisors are auditing officers on their ability to fill out the broken windows form. A properly filled out form equals success and maybe even a free lunch.

Damn, really? I thought "broken window" was just an expression, like a stand-in for not tolerating minor violations. I think maybe the police departments you're talking about took it a little too literally. Unless you're just pulling our legs, in which case that was a pretty well-written post.

I was comparing the broken windows policy to the "zero tolerance" policy in the petrochemical industry. I assume OP is in the industry, The police dept stuff was just a colorful way of comparing.
