 | This comprehensive project focused on strengthening programs that help families support officers in mental or emotional crises or considering suicide. The suite of six publications includes four reports documenting innovative interventions currently being used around the country, one protocol for agencies on how to address an officer suicide, and a resources abstract. This publication, Developing a Critical Incident Peer Support Program, discusses the use of peer support programs to effectively deal with the stress of law enforcement officers nationwide. Recognizing that peer support programs offer an effective complement to the provision of professional mental health services in contemporary law enforcement agencies, this paper examines three areas - (1) the elements of an effective peer support program, (2) confidentiality in such a program, and (3) the activities of five existing peer support programs.By James D.
