Your specific term. I just want to say this, that the word institutionalization, for these programs, is not one that weve started talking about as a community, say, in the last six months. Under the leadership of the agac, the attorney generals advisory committee, our first chairman was todd jones who had been a former u. S. Attorney in the late 1990s. He came back he said he is a recidivist came back as u. S. Attorney again starting in 2008. Todd preached from day one in institutionalization. Paul did as well, Loretta Lynch as well. Lanny wanted to respond though. I was just going to give an answer to the judges question, one example that my colleagues can talk about what theyre doing in their districts.

During my 23 years as a Police Officer from the oldschool you didnt see that but now you do. You see that probably because of social media and more exposures to a bad health can do to you. I think also young officers are more apt to go for psychological help if they need it. Again the oldschool probably not so much. One of the sad things i have seen in my research into ptsd is that when they look up a mortality studies of Police Officers, Police Officers compared to the general population die at a younger age.
