We are a group of active and retired police officers, medical professionals and surviving families of suicides from the United States and Canada. We have suffered the worst that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) brings—the hopelessness, the despair, the flashbacks, the attempts at suicide, the nightmares and insomnia, the hyper-vigilence, anxiety and terror. Among us are victims of both critical incident and cumulative PTSD. Our families have suffered the loss of a loved one to police suicide.
The cornerstone of our Badge of Life program is an entirely new approach to suicide prevention, called the "Emotional Self-Care Program" (ESC). After reading about it, contact us and we will be happy to send you additional information on how you can impact police suicide numbers, create a healthier police force, improve the quality of service, and enhance officer safety.
