In order to protect his officers’ mental health, Minnesota Police Chief Paul Wegner is offering a paid sabbatical for officers with at least five years of service. In Gilbert, Arizona, officers have access to a meditation room, therapy dog and heart rate variability tools as part of a peer support program designed to improve employee wellness. And for Baltimore police officers, discussions around wellness begin in the academy. What officer wellness programs has your agency implemented? Email editor@police1.com.
