Project Details from Consultant Report

The Wellness Unit has a sophisticated response model to support officers involved in critical events. Their system is informed by best practices and has a clear pathway of offering officers’ mental health first aid, physical health treatment, family notification, and resources for mental health care. While officers are provided with sheets about possible symptoms of PTSD, the officers and their families would be well served to receive a timeline and process guide to next steps – mandatory leave, fitness for duty, Reality- Based Training Unit (RBTU) training requirements, and investigations.
