Police Officers are at the forefront of any significant disaster or public
incident. Charged with protecting the safety of the population and
themselves. By the nature of the work Police Officers perform they are at an increased risk of being exposed
to traumatic situations. This constitutes a great risk for the behavioral welfare of the first
responders. They are at risk for stress, depression, PTSD, substance
abuse and suicidal ideation.
Solution?
q Studies indicate that professional mental health service was reported as helpful in the immediate phase following a traumatic event.
q Providing mental health, promoting therapy and debriefing after stressful situations is recommended by SAMHSA for all first responders.
