Abstract

This chapter discusses how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among police officers is a public health and safety crisis. Given the prevalence of PTSD among police officers and its potential impact on their lives, police organizations and supervisors must implement measures to support officers struggling with the disorder. It is also essential for supervisors and co-workers to be aware of the signs and symptoms of PTSD, as this can help them to identify officers who are at risk and provide them with the necessary support and resources. This chapter explores emerging and proven interventions to help those in law enforcement facing PTSD.
