This includes both state and federal law enforcement agencies which are located in the immediate area. The proposal will focus on training spouses for stress reduction and also for peer counseling. Roger Solomon, Ph.D., a noted expert in police relationship issues, will lead the training of spouses and the children of sworn personnel. As the SPPD EAP has developed over the past three years, the need to involve spouses in stress awareness and reduction methods is indicated. Sergeants Conroy and Mead will visit other law enforcement sites to learn advanced methods in training. A brochure and advertisements in local law enforcement journals will assist in the marketing of the training. Evaluation of the training will be developed in conjunction with pre and post controls. Dissemination will be to recognized law enforcement publications. � � � � � 9'� -i��/ Table of Contents Project Narrative Page 1 Objectives and Need for Assistance Page 2 Results or Benefits Expected Page 6 Personnel Page 7 Goals Page 8 Methodology Page 9 Evaluation Criteria Page 11 Dissemination Page 12 References Page 13 . � � -1��/ Proposal -- Support for Law Enforcement Personnel and Their Families Program Narrative The St. Paul Police Department (SPPD) operates a unique system of support for its law enforcement personnel, its civilian employees, and the families of those individuals. This program is an internal Employee Assistance Program (EAP), providing short term counseling, assessment and referral services, Critical Incidence Stress Debriefing/Defusings, Post-shooting Trauma Groups, Ongoing Support Groups for police officers, as well as for significant others. The EAP also provides training for police officers and their spouse/family members during the recruit academy. Inservice training is provided in the following areas: stress management, anger management, interpersonal communication, post shooting trauma, trauma management etc. The EAP also trains and coordinates a peer support network for the St. Paul Police Officers as well as officers from suburban departments. During the past 4 years the EAP has helped officers from 44 different law enforcement agencies. This program operates from a perspective of"cops helping cops" and has been very helpful to police officers experiencing life crisis and the general trauma associated with police work. Currently, this program is offered by the SPPD for officers from any law enforcement agency on a pro bono basis, on the belief that this unique perspective should be available to all law enforcement officers, and also with the knowledge that it is impossible for the t � � � � 9� -��/ smaller agencies to obtain this kind of program for themselves. The EAP is currently working with officers from local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. While The EAP is cunently able to assist officers from other agencies, the service provided spouses and family members is extremely limited. Yet research has consistently demonstrated that the choice of a law enforcement career affects not only the officer, but his/her entire family (Brinegar, 1986; Depue, 1981; Donovan, 1981; Jones, 1989; Price, 1980; Reese, 1987; Stratton, 1981; Stratton, 1982). � Objectives and Need For This Assistance The Law Enforcement Profession has traditionally been a difficult population for the mental health professionals to work with (Evans et al., 1995) . It has typically been a very closed profession (Conroy, 1990; Henman, 1989; Singleton, 1978), seldom admitting faults, and only reluctantly trusting outsiders with personal problems when the situation has gone beyond control and often beyond help (Fell & Wallace, 1980). This °silence" is further amplified by new Minnesota Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Rulest which make it even more difficult for the family of a police officer to reach out for help. These regulations indicate that any officer adjudicated to be mentally ill may have his/her license to practice law enforcement revoked. While marriage counseling may not mean the officer is adjudicated "mentally ill", many 'Administrative Rules adopted 1995,John Laux Executive Director Z � � � g� �� officers do not reach out because of the fear of losing their career. This impacts the spouse/family of the law enforcement officer because they end up becoming family problems. The POST regulations are restrictive in a second, and perhaps even more debilitating way for police families. If a police spouse reports a domestic assault, and the officer is convicted, the officers license is subject to review. While this does not mean an automatic revocation of the license, it is enough to cause police spouses to permit domestic problems to go unreported. It is common knowledge that the profession is rife with extreme rates of alcoholism, divorce, and suicide (Alexander & Walker, 1995; Beehr, T. et al. 1995; Beutler et. al., 1988; Cain, 1973; Dietrich & Smith, 1986; Durner, 1975; Fell et. al., 1980; Heiman, 1977; Hill & Clawson, 1988; Kroes, 1976; Kroes et al., 1974; Lewis; 1973; Machell, 1989; Machell, 1993; Nelson & Smith, 1970; Niederhoffer, 1974; Pendergrass & Ostrove, 1986; Rafky, 1974; Rubenstein, 1973; Territo & Vetter, 1981; Terry, et al, 1995; Unkovic & Brown, 1979; Van Raalte, 1981; Violanti & Howe, 1985). These factors cause law enforcement families to be even more at risk and make it imperative to provide accessible and useable mental health services to police officers and their families. Over the past three years the service provided by the SPPD EAP has grown significantly. Between 1993 and 1995 the amount of direct client service provided has more than doubled: 3 � � � � � � 9� --/d�� 1993 1994 1995 19962 Category Number of Clients 143 182 190 220 Hours of Service Provided 1014.5 1767 2459.5 3200 The year-to-date figures for 1996 indicate that this growth trend is continuing. The belief is that this increase is due in part to a growing reputation among law enforcement personnel and their families that the SPPD EAP is a safe place to come for assistance in dealing with the unique difficulties associated with law enforcement, either as a sworn officer or as a spouse/family member. A breakdown of the problems brought to EAP's attention indicates that at least 55.3% of the clients are experiencing relationship difficulties as a primary problem. 1995 Areas of Client Concern3 St. Paul Police Department EAP Arpac nf C'nncern # of Clients % of Clients # of Hours % of Hours Abuse 2 1.1% 117.5 4.8% Anger 4 2.1% 25 1.0% Depression 18 9.6% 459 18.6% Grief 4 2.1% 15 0.6% Health 8 4.3% 129.5 5.3% Other 7 3.7% 53.5 2.2% Relaiionship 82 43.6% 894.5 36.3% Relalionship - Work 22 11.7% 261.5 10.6% Stress 5 2.7% 72.5 2.9% Z Projected usage based upon YTD demographics 'Based upon 1995 SPPD EAP Annual Report 4 �'� -��/ Substance Abuse 9 4.8% 83.5 3.4% Trauma 14 7.4% 208 8.4% Trauma Outreach 7 3.7% 15 0.6% Work Performance 6 3.2% 129 5.2% Totals 188 100.0% 2463.5 100.0% These statistics do not indicate those clients who express relationship concerns as secondary issues. An example may be an officer or spouse who comes for "anger management" and who may also be experiencing marital difficulties. Currently, although services are provided to personnel outside the SPPD, it is limited to officers and excludes their families. This is due to a lack of resources rather than a lack of desire to serve this population. This proposal is to expand the services offered to officers and their families, and to expand the focus on those services to be made available to spouses and children of police officers Services will be offered to local, county, state and federal agencies. Services to be included would be: � short term counseling for significant others and families • education and training for significant others and families on the effects of job stress on law enforcement officers and their families • family debriefing after critical incidents • post shooting debriefing for families 5 � � � � � 9� i��/ � a 24 hour "crisis hotline" to provide immediate assistance for spouses/family members • training and coordinadng an expanded peer support network to include police spouses. Families would be made aware of these services through a marketing campaign designed to raise awareness of stress and its consequences, as well as preventative measures available. Target group would include families and law enforcement personnel from SPPD, as well as other law enforcement agencies statewide. Results or Benefits Expected The services would result in a reduction in levels of job related stress for law enforcement officers, and in family related stress. Also there would be a reduction in rates of alcoholism, divorce, and suicide among law enforcement officers and spouses/family members. Families, as support for officers, arE under-utilized. The program will result in education and support for families, enabling law enforcement personnel and their families to better able to manage the stress associated with law enforcement. 6 � q�i�� The SPPD EAP is an already established mental health program and has been serving police officers and families for several years. It is an internal, police based program. This research proposal will develop an external, police based mental health program for police officers and families. By comparing the baseline usage ratio (internal officers/family members) to the expanded usage ratio (external officers/family members) this research will begin to establish the relative importance of these two variables in developing a mental health program for police officers and families. Personnel This research will be coordinated by Sgt. Dennis Conroy, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist. Sgt. Conroy is a 24 year veteran of the St. Paul Police Department and is responsible for directing the department's Employee Assistance Program on a full- time basis. Sergeant Conroy is a licensed psychologist and his practice has been counseling law enforcement couples for the past 10 years. The research will be conducted by the staff assigned to the SPPD EAP. � Sgt. Dennis Conroy, Ph.D. is the director of the program • Sgt. Bruce Mead, M.A. is a counselor within the program • Abby Dawkins, M.S.W., L.I.C.S.W. is a counselor within the program � Karyn Risser is a Master's level intern with the Employee Assistance Program. 7 � � � � � 9'� -ia �� Goals The goals of this research will be four-fold: 1. Evaluation of the responsiveness to a proactive counseling program for law enforcement families. 2. Based upon outcomes from the program, re-evaluadon of counseling needs of police families. 3. Comparison of internal, police focused program with external, police focused program. 4. Development of a comprehensive, short-term counseling program for law enforcement officers and families which will include local, county, state and federal agencies. The primary objectives of the research are: • to determine whether or not a proactive counseling approach in working with police families will be used, and to what extent, based upon usage of the program. • to determine relative value of an internal vs. external based mental health program for police officers and family members. • to determine the most specific areas of counseling need for police family members (i.e. trauma counseling, stress management, relationship counseling). 8 � � � � 9� i� �/ � to integrate counseling efforts to police families from local, county, state and federal agencies. • to provide a basis from which to develop an effective counseling model for work with law enforcement families. The results of this research program will provide law enforcement families in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area with an effective counseling resource specifically designed to help them deal with problems which are directly related to a law enforcement career. It will assist in providing a stable family environment for law enforcement officers and their families throughout the metro area. Methnriningv The research will begin with a needs survey. This will consist of a short questionnaire and narrative contact with law enforcement officers and spouses from a variety of different law enforcement agencies. There will be follow-up interviews with members of law enforcement families from a variety of different size agencies to determine whether or not needs appear to vary from smaller agencies to larger agencies. Finally, a program to meet these needs will be developed. This program will include the following on an "as needed" basis: 9 : , ��-�-�� • to provide crisis/trauma management services to spouses and families of law enforcement personnel. The BAP will provide 24 hr. a day crisis/trauma management services for the spouses and family members of law enforcement officers through the use of an internally staffed "crisis hot line". The EAP will respond in person as necessary. The EAP will follow up with short-term counseling or referral to the spouse/family peer support network as appropriate. • to provide couples communication training for law enforcement officers and spouses. This training will enhance communication between "healthy" couples and . allow them to work with other police couples to enhance communication. • to develop and train a peer support network for police spouse/family members. • to visit other sites to evaluate the programs used to provide stress/crisis/trauma management to spouse/families of law enforcement officers. This expanded service will enable EAP to devote more resources to "couples" work with law enforcement couples. This will include (1) traditional couples counseling, (2) communication training provided to couples in an individual or a group format and (3) individual work with spouses/family members to help them understand the impact of a law enforcement career on their marriage/family. EAP will initiate a marketing campaign: to educate families on stress of law enforcement on personnel, and how it affects families, the availability of peer lo � � � � � q�-id � counseling network for significant others, and the availability of counseling services for law enforcement personnel and their families. F.valnatinn C'riteria The success of this program will, in part, be apparent by the number of law enforcement family members who use the program. EAP will monitor the number of spouses and family members who utilize the program and compare that with the numbers who used the program in 1993, 1994, and 1995. EAP will use existing data from the SPPD officers/family members to establish a baseline ratio of sworn personnel to family members using the program. The ratio of utilization by sworn personnel and family members will also be measured. Both ratios will be compared to provide an indicator of the success of this program. This comparison of ratios will also provide some indication as to the relative importance of an "internal" program vs. a "police related" program in worlcing with law enforcement couples. EAP will supplement this comparison with self reporting instruments to be mailed or given to those spouses/family members from outside agencies. This will require an advanced consent from the individuals involved. The EAP will evaluate the success of this program in both quantitative and qualitative ways. The quantitative evaluation will consist of a comparison of the baseline data with the newly generated data. The il � : � � � 9'l� /�'�/ qualitative evaluation will be phenomenological in nature and will describe both textural and structual °meanings" of this program to clients.
