At First Responder Psychological Services, our team follows the best practices outlined by the Psychological Services Section of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in response to officer-involved shootings.

​

These guidelines are designed to help departments provide effective, compassionate support to officers involved in critical incidents. Developed through the field experience of law enforcement psychologists, the recommendations aim to reduce the risk of long-term psychological and emotional impact after a shooting. They emphasize the importance of timely support, psychological assessment, and a thoughtful return-to-duty process.

​

Every officer-involved shooting is unique, and we tailor our approach to fit the specific needs of each situation and individual involved.

​

By applying these guidelines with care and flexibility, we help agencies protect the mental health of their personnel and support long-term wellness after traumatic events.
