The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, released Health and Wellness Resources Available to Law Enforcement, 2022 recently. This report details specific types of formal wellness programs offered to Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) sworn law enforcement personnel and practices adopted by general-purpose law enforcement agencies (municipal, county and regional police departments; most sheriffs’ offices; and primary state and highway patrol agencies).
The findings are from BJS’s 2022 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) Post-Academy Training and Officer Wellness (PATOW) supplemental survey. Administered for the first time in 2023, this survey collected data from a nationally representative sample of general-purpose state and local law enforcement agencies.
