The Hidden Cost of Policing
Every day, police officers face situations most of us never will, violence, tragedy, and life‑threatening danger. Over time, this takes a devastating toll on mental and physical health.
1 in 5 police may have PTSD
9 out of 10 go to work as usual with a psychological issue
Many officers and their families are left struggling with anxiety, PTSD, or depression.
Many are unable to work due to injury or trauma.
Many are facing financial hardship, isolation, and feeling forgotten once the job ends.
