Services the police department office for mental health
Our department has also recently joined the East End Police Departments (10), informing the
East End Police Peer Support Team. Each department has a representative (our department has 5)
on the Team that underwent a training program before implementation.
The theory is that if an officer needs help or even someone to talk about a problem. They can talk
to a member of this Team that would be a fellow officer and someone from another department
to speak more freely.
Our department and other first responders currently have Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
available to us after a traumatic incident from two different sources: one source is provided by
the Fire Rescue Services.
The second is through our department's chaplain services led by Father Joseph DeAngelo,
licensed and trained in this field.
Working group recommendation on mental health
The town board needs to make sure that adequate signing at the police department for mental
health services.
The town board needs to make sure that the service that the Police chief is listening to or offering
our police officers for mental health are part of our department.
