A PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING PROGRAM IS USED BY THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO AID POLICE OFFICERS SUFFERING FROM JOB STRESS, TO REDUCE COMPLAINTS AND INSTANCES OF INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR.
Abstract
REFERRALS TO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING UNIT ARE ACCEPTED FROM THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION, AN OFFICER'S SUPERVISOR, OR THE OFFICER HIMSELF. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY IS MAINTAINED. THIS PROGRAM WILL BE EVALUATED PRIMARILY THROUGH POST-COUNSELING TRACKING OF REFERRALS.
