Delivery of EMDR in a Metropolitan Police Department: A Pilot Program

There is currently an urgent situation within our nation’s police force: police officers are suffering increased psychological symptoms and sometimes suicidal risk. At the same time, there is a rising public outcry against police ‘excessive use of force’, or ‘police brutality‘. Recent groundbreaking research in neurobiology illuminates the root cause of this crisis. This innovative pilot program leverages these neurological findings to offer a treatment specifically designed to respond to the unique characteristics of this population. This pilot program is designed to provide unprecedented widespread access to treatment within the police department that is actually in accordance with police culture.
