Women of Law Enforcement

An awesome and impactful event hosted by our sister and friend Julie Werhnyak. 💙

Meet Brandy Kamper, our dear friend and closing keynote speaker💙

Brandi Kamper is a Physician Assistant, U.S. Army veteran, and former police officer with more than two decades of combined experience in law enforcement, military medicine, and clinical care. She is a third-generation police officer who spent over 15 years with the Fort Worth Police Department, where she served as a patrol officer, Tactical Paramedic, and co-founder of the Fort Worth Police Department Tactical Medic Unit.

During her law enforcement career, Brandi helped design and implement FWPD’s Tactical Medic Program, which now deploys full-time paramedic officers on high-risk calls and every SWAT operation. She also created and taught “Tactical Lifesaver,” a military-modeled self-aid and buddy-aid course that has trained thousands of officers. Her operational experience includes active shooter response, austere medicine, advanced airway management, hemorrhage control, and medicine in high-stress environments.

After retiring from law enforcement, Brandi transitioned into clinical medicine, earning her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. She has practiced in trauma surgery and acute care settings and now serves as Operations Manager and Physician Assistant at Front Line Mobile Health, where she oversees large-scale occupational health programs for police officers and firefighters across Texas.

At Front Line, Brandi conducts comprehensive, officer-focused medical evaluations designed to identify silent diseases before they become career-ending or life-threatening. These evaluations
include cardiovascular and metabolic screening, advanced laboratory analysis, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), cancer screening ultrasounds and x-rays, vision and hearing testing, and
Human Performance Assessments that integrate physical and behavioral health. Her work centers on readiness, longevity, and keeping experienced officers healthy enough to stay on the job.

We can't wait to see her in September! Don't miss your chance to meet Brandy and many other inspirational leaders at the 13th Annual Women of Law Enforcement Conference, September 21-25. www.wole.info/2026conference

For many years, we’ve had the privilege of gathering annually in Fort Worth. The City of Fort Worth and its Police Department have played an important role in our conference experience, and we know how much many of you value the tradition of meeting there.

As we look ahead to this year’s event, we want to share an important update: our upcoming conference will be held in a different city – Pasadena, Texas. The Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex is a shared first responder space that has taken on new obligations and filled their calendars for the foreseeable future. Our decision to relocate was made after careful consideration, with the goal of enhancing the overall experience, expanding opportunities, and accommodating our sisters from other regions of the state. In our first year away from the DFW Metroplex, we plan to scale back the attendance capacity for the conference so that we can offer the absolute best service to our audience.

While the setting will change, our commitment remains the same. You can expect the same high-quality training, meaningful networking opportunities, and engaging sessions that make this event a highlight each year. We are confident the new location will bring fresh energy and exciting possibilities.

We will be sharing full details about the new venue, hotel accommodations, and travel information very soon. Registration will open on April 1. In the meantime, please mark your calendars for September 21-25, 2026 and stay tuned for additional updates.

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility. We look forward to welcoming you to an outstanding conference experience in our new location for 2026.

Sisters! Let’s rally behind Harper and her incredible initiative, Operation Kindness 2.0. Visit her social media channels and help share this powerful project that delivers hope-filled care packages to families of our deployed service personnel.

“Remember to be kind to someone today. It’s all that truly matters.” 💙🇺🇸

I haven’t gotten to hug my daddy in almost a year. And while I won’t pretend to know the complexities of what’s going on, I know that kindness in times of hardship and heartache is everything. So I’m ready to serve others in the way my dad serves our country. Last Christmas I launched operation kindness - rallying this community to help me put together 1000 Christmas packages for my dad’s deployed unit. I was blown away by the response. Now I need your help again for operation kindness 2.0. I want to send care packages and a little bit of love to the spouses of deployed service members and their kids if they have them. My mom is showing me what strength looks like - but I’ve also seen what joy it brings her to know she isn’t alone. Each care package will be filled with love and kindness and support until they all come home. As part of my 134 acts of kindness Im hoping to fulfill every single request I get. Head to my stories for the link to nominate yourself or someone you know. If you can’t shop or donate I’d love for you to SHARE this so I can find as many spouses that I can. 💙🇺🇸 Head to heartandharper.org to shop to shop or donate even just $1 on Venmo - @ heartandharper Zelle - [email protected] And remember be kind to someone today, it’s all that truly matters. I love you dad and I miss you so much #militarykids #deployment #bekind #deploymentlife #armylife
