Healthy, Confident, and Competent

Reintegration after a Critical Incident

During the last 11 years, the Edmonton Police Service (Alberta, Canada) has created, developed, and continually improved its Critical Incident Reintegration Program. The program has two streams: short term and long term. It is an officer-centered, peer-driven program for police officers and other public safety personnel. It features an interactive process that has shown to be quantitatively and qualitatively successful for public safety personal to return to work healthy, confident, and competent after the stress of a critical incident or a mental health diagnosis.
