The Reason We Exist
There is, undoubtedly, a need to make available to Law
Enforcement personnel a safe place where they can come for
those times when the stress has become too great they, and
others, are noticing a difference in their demeanor, activities, anger
level and alcohol or drug usage.
Police work is stressful. Many officers witness more trauma in a
typical work week than average citizens see in a lifetime. The
challenge goes beyond the inherent violence and danger in
keeping the peace. Add in these factors : Intense public contact,
unusual working hours, mountainous paperwork.
Considering these stress producing factors, it's not surprising the
National Institute of Health and Safety ranks law enforcement
professionals among the highest at risk for suicide, divorce and
alcoholism. And, according to a study in U. S. News and World
Report, as many as one in four police officers may have a drinking
problem. Stress, alcohol or drug dependence make it impossible
to effectively perform law enforcement duties. The afflicted officer
may be a danger to self--and others. And yet the officer may be
reluctant to seek help. Or may not even realize these is a problem.
When the challenges of police work become overwhelming...
Stress, alcoholism, drug dependency.....Police Officers come face
to face with these problems on the street......and sometimes when
they look in the mirror.
Fide et fortitudine "By Faith and Courage"
The officer can learn how to work through the stress of the job
which, left untreated, will develop into other problems. At
CopCare911 we can help.
