| The National Police Suicide Foundation is not a research organization, but Peer Support at its very best, providing both pro-active and post event support and training. The foundation's dedicated mission is to provide police suicide awareness and prevention training programs and support services that will meet the psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs of law enforcement,on every level, and their families. Our goals are to provide support, encouragement, and hope to the agencies and families affected by this tragedy,by helping them to understand and manage the emotional and psychological impact. We provide educational seminars, peer support strategies, policy and protocol suggestions, and a huge network of communication and resources to survivors and agencies. Through a quarterly membership newsletter, the foundation provides information on police suicide support group services, seminars, counseling hot lines and resources, statistics, and a means of supportive communication for survivors and agencies. We provide this service coast-to-coast, on the local, state, and federal level. A Personal Note from the Director: " I would like to thank all of our members and supporters of our Foundation for your timeless effort in dealing with this issue of police suicide and for your prayers for our Law Enforcement family during this most stressful time. The day to day routine of our police officers is stressful enough in itself. Now with the added responsibility of Homeland Security and many officers being deployed to and from active duty overseas which has left our agencies understaffed with even greater responsibilities, their stresses have increased. As the stresses of our officers increase, so does the risk of suicide. I ask that you continue to work and pray to bring about an even greater awareness of this issue. " Robert E. Douglas .
