Police Officers' Mental Health and Occupational Health Monitoring

Police officers are subject to various occupational risk factors that can contribute to the development of mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. A previous study observed a low rate of access to specialized care services. Furthermore, carrying a firearm can facilitate acts of self-harm.
