Florida Law Enforcement officers have a new tool to help them spot PTSD in themselves and co-workers. The goal of the on line delivery program developed at Florida State is to help officers understand why and when they are feeling abnormal stress and as Mike Vasilinda tells us, how to manage what they are feeling.
Few of us go to work and the first assignment is dealing with a dead body
But for cops, dead bodies, physical threats, and constant danger are the job.

The Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) and Florida State University’s Institute for Justice Research and Development (IJRD), alongside Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R-Palm Harbor) and Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson, Jr., today announced a collaborative new training program, “Resiliency Behind the Badge,” aimed at identifying and addressing post-traumatic stress in law enforcement officers across the state.
“Every day our law enforcement officers report for duty, they are unsure of what lies ahead. They are prepared to bravely run toward danger, witness painful and traumatic events, and risk their own lives to save others at a moment’s notice,” said Speaker Sprowls. “That unique work environment can take its toll, both physically and mentally. It is important that we take care of our law enforcement officers and provide them the support they need.”
