Innovations in Care for Law Enforcement Officers and the Community
Emeryville, CA Police Department
The Emeryville Police Department is taking a much-needed approach to officer wellness, by finding ways to mitigate stress as well as create awareness and non-judgement. Statistics show that the stress and health effects of this profession: PTSD, cardiovascular disease, addiction, depression, and suicide are all seen at higher rates than most professions. By using Mindfulness Based Resiliency, the officers of the Emeryville Police Department are better equipped in their role as guardians of the communities they serve.
