Salt Lake City on Monday announced a program that provides counseling for police officers, including fellow officers, has been suspended. natecarlisle
“Our employee wellness and support program,” said Salt Lake City police spokesman Brent Weisberg, “Is – for the time being – suspended as the Salt Lake City Police Department conducts a review into a specific matter."Weisberg declined to say whether the “specific matter” was a personnel or policy issue.
The suspended program, however, was tailored to the unique stress police can face. While professional therapists were available, a big component was counseling from fellow officers who had undergone special training. The Salt Lake City police wellness program, particularly the peer support, was around years before the mental health of first responders became a national topic. Officers within the program have worked with law enforcement in other cities to explain how to implement the counseling.
