POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a very real factor for members, facing down the barrel of a gun, being attacked and helpless are now sadly aspects of the job that may become a reality. Such extremities of the job can result in psychological damage that needs addressing and supporting.
Always remember if you have been diagnosed with PTSD, it is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is proof of your strength, because you have survived!
