There should be a mandatory test that all first responders and active duty members must take to pinpoint depression or other thoughts of self-harm. This test must be such that trouble can be identified with subtle symptoms that give indications of trouble. This should be tied to classes to raise awareness to every member. In addition, spiritual help can be offered to those willing to talk.

Absolutely heartbreaking……. We ALL must do so much more to stop this crisis affecting all first responders. Sgt. Michael Sugrue - Ret. From The Rowlett Police Department (Texas) “The Rowlett Police Department is deeply saddened by the heartbreaking loss of one of our own. Last night, Officer Victoria Louise Bailey tragically took her own life. Victoria lived a life defined by service. From 2008 to 2011, she served in the U.S. Air Force, followed by nine years with the Denison Police Department. On March 13, 2022, she joined our Rowlett Police family, where she quickly became a cherished and respected member of our team. As a Field Training Officer (FTO) for six years, she was known for her dedication to mentorship, her commitment to building strong teams, and her unwavering sense of duty. The men and women of the Rowlett Police Department are grieving this profound loss as we face one of the most difficult moments in our department. Officer Bailey's legacy of service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will honor Officer Victoria Louise Bailey #1248 for her service, and we humbly ask for the community's support and understanding as we navigate this painful time together.” Michael Denning Chief of Police

Honoring First Responders On September 11, 2001, thousands of first responders, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other emergency personnel, put their lives on the line in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Their heroic actions that day saved countless lives and embodied the true spirit of service and sacrifice. Many of these individuals never returned home, and those who did carry the physical and emotional scars of that day. Today, we honor their selfless bravery and reflect on the vital role these professionals continue to play in keeping our communities safe, often putting others before themselves. The events of 9/11 remind us not only of the importance of quick, decisive action in moments of crisis but also the enduring impact that first responders have in times of need. As Criminal Justice students and future professionals, it is essential to remember the courage shown by those who answered the call to duty on 9/11. Their sacrifices are a powerful reminder of the values at the core of this field: service, integrity, and dedication to public safety. We thank all first responders, past and present, for their commitment to protecting and serving our communities. #NeverForget #MoraineValleyCRJ #FirstResponders #ServiceAndSacrifice #CriminalJustice

There’s a lot to be said about Police ??♀? uniform standards. I’m sure most of it has been said in many different formats, settings and platforms. I’m curious about our current issues of recruitment, retention and resilience among current, future and former LEOs. What is your opinion on how uniform standards affect or do not impact change, history and culture in an agency. I see many State Police agencies who have almost never changed uniform and appearance standards. There are some who gravitate towards this style of uniform and all that comes with it. There have been many who have adopted a more current militaristic style which is actually much in keeping with uniformed services styles from years past. Mostly the chain of command in larger forces is paramount, uniformities notwithstanding. Then there are those who have changed or offered different styles of uniform and appearance commensurate with their neighbors and their area of responsibility. I think that it’s a total ?? balance that is difficult to achieve. Keep striving to lead with passion, respect and what works for you and your community. Listen and give back.

In 2022, I had the opportunity to complete this literature review exploring the potential benefits of physical activity as a complementary treatment intervention for occupational posttraumatic stress disorder focused on first responders (paramedics, police officers, firefighters), armed forces and veterans.

Finishing up my initial read of Martin Greenberg, MD Law Enforcement Medical Encyclopedia. Meticulously researched, cited, and chock full of some of the latest information of topics highly relevant to police, military, and even civilians that are seeking out this information. The topics are thoroughly covered in a way that engages both the academic as well as the street level, interested reader. It is a book I will use as a ready reference when the need for well vetted information arises. Strong recommendation!!! https://lnkd.in/em4XYDjw

Family and domestic violence (FDV) affects not just personal lives but workplaces too. Employers lose millions annually due to FDV, and it deeply impacts employee well-being and performance. Workplaces can offer vital support and resources for victims. Let's create safe spaces, educate ourselves, and push for strong policies to help those affected by FDV. #WorkplaceSafety #SupportSurvivors #EndDomesticViolence

Last week, footage was released of the final moments of U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Roger Fortson’s life. Once again, we see the crushing violence of this racialized society and the horrific injustice of police brutality. We lament. We acknowledge the trauma, PTSD, anguish, fear, and anger this story can bring up. So first, we want to ensure our BIPOC community is taken care of, heard, and seen. And then, all together, we lament. We find ourselves looking directly at injustice and its violence, and we lament. We lament a life taken. We lament a Black man’s life taken. We lament a young Black man’s life taken. As bridge builders, we don’t stop at lament. We take our lament and foster transformation. We have to cultivate a holy imagination and actively work towards creating equitable systems. We have to be willing to ask ourselves and decision makers tough questions. What responsibilities lie with us? What can we do to make sure people are safe in their own homes? How can we create systems where everyone is treated fairly? How can we ensure lethal force is the absolute last resort? How can we better value life? What do we need to do for there to be liberty and justice for all? We lament. And then we move onward to leverage, leveraging our positions and resources for healing and restoration. Be color brave instead of colorblind. Ask questions. Be willing to investigate the history of policing in the U.S. and in your state. Accept historical truths and present realities. Engage in your community by voting, initiating community policing efforts, and looking at your city’s resources and budgets and what might be reallocated. Attend community meetings where discussions can happen and lead to change. Support mental health initiatives for your community and for law enforcement officers. Listen to the experiences of families who have endured police brutality. Speak up when police brutality occurs. Be dedicated to figuring out a different way of policing within your local context. Look at what other cities have done that have yielded positive results. Give yourself space to weep and mourn. It doesn’t have to be this way. Say Roger Fortson’s name. Hold his family and friends in prayer. And know that transformation begins with you. #bethebridge #lament #rogerfortson
