I know a few coppers , nice folk the stuff they see always worries me especially their own mental health , being spat for purely doing their job , coming across crack dens with small infants crawling amongst the mess , finding folk who have died alone and let to rot for months ( image the smell ) , dreadful road accidents where limbs are severed , never mind the carnage left by a terrorists bomb that they have to and others attend too on our behalf

they choose to do the job and they get paid for it

Join the police and you are going to come into contact with people who are sometimes not very nice

Join the traffic department and you are going to have to deal with fatalities

Anyone who witnesses a traumatic event deserves treatment and help if it affects their lives , whatever they do

The police do have a harrowing job and, of course, firefighters and health workers see all those horrible things too. It's important that employers closely monitor the mental health of their employees and this means police forces to identify any officers who may be suffering PTSD etc. before employing them on operations which may trigger them to overreact or behave inappropriately.

Often they will only spot " PTSD " in officers when its too late and they snap, then of course its too late and that then gives Ammo to the section of society that do not need a 2nd excuse to run them down

Police forces have a responsibility to their staff and to the public to ensure that officers are mentally fit to deal with stressful situations at any point during their service.
