Given the prevalence and impact of compromised mental health on these populations, finding ways to increase use of psychological support for police staff and officers is necessary. We conducted an interview and focus groups (n= 9) with police service members (n= 33) to examine the barriers police officers (n= 25) and communicators (n= 8) report facing when seeking treatment, and their suggestions for improving access to treatment. We identified three main barriers: stigma, worries about confidentiality, and occupation-specific experience with people in the community who present in mental distress. Three suggestions emerged from our participants that may improve current mental health support, namely, ensuring confidentiality, easy-to-use electronic resources, and access to occupation-specific content. We discuss the implications of our results with suggestions for policy and practice.

Failure to promote and engage in mental health programs for law enforcement can result in mentally unwell officers. An unhealthy officer potentially poses a risk not only to himself but also to his fellow officers and the community as a whole. Furthermore, officers who are impaired open themselves to the possibility of making rash and impulsive decisions, thus jeopardizing the safety of others. The following article will discuss the importance of a mental wellness program for law enforcement and how to implement a program into departments. This process involves a formal departmental policy, leadership from within the department, a culturally sensitive and trained mental health professional, and a structured mental wellness plan.
