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. Some 10 years younger on average than those in the general population. So we are seeing greater numbers of death of cardiovascular disease among younger officers which is kind of surprising and kind of shocking. The thing you should understand about stress is its cumulative as you are continually exposed to trauma day after day and stress day after day eventually is going to wear your system down. Some of our Research Shows for example the body becomes this regulated under chroni

Over 146 officer fatalities per year. That is a shocking number. One officer killed somewhere in america every 60 hours. All right. But the good news is that numbers are going down. If you go back to the 1970s we were averaging 231 officers killed in the line of duty each and every year. That means the 146 number i cited is 37 lower than it was 40 years ago. That is at a time we have double number of officers serving and putting themselves at risk. Would you have expected that number would have gone up, not down. There are a number of factors that are responsible for that and i have enumerated some of them in my written testimony. I want to just spend a moment though reemphasizing the leadership that the attorney general of the United States eric holder, has focused on issue of officer safety and wellness. Im not sure he is getting enough credit for his leadership. Just a few years ago, when deaths were spiking, 171 officers killed in 2011 he held a summit in his office with about 40 L
Two recommendations. There should be a dedication to the research and development of solutions to mine Law Enforcement databases for information that will not only reduce and solve crime, but help keep our officers safe. This cannot be a one time endeavor, but rather a continual process. In addition, we must look for and publicize best practices and use of social media. Currently, there is no better way to connect with the citizens. In Law Enforcement we are only as strong as our relationships with the community. If they trust us they will call us when something is amiss in their neighborhood. So, the question that begs to be answered is how do we build that trust. It begins with understanding ourselves and the citizens we serve. To this every Law Enforcement officer should be mandate aed to complete the course entitle td fair and impartial policing. Its to show that everyone has biases and that luiu critical for officers to recognize this, make every attempt to set them aside when ser
