Spouses and other family members share that anxiety and question where exactly they will fit into the law enforcement community. Fortunately for recruits and their loved ones in Kentucky, the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) Academy has established a solid working model to support officers and their families.<\/p>\n<p>This program, which started in 2005, brings families together during basic training. The Kentucky DOCJT has trained an estimated 900 recruits and over 1,000 family members. Basic recruits are taught the importance of family support during their career and the idea that their family is number one on their priority list, placing it in front of their profession. They are also taught that support comes back to them from family and friends outside of the law enforcement field. In other words, it is okay to have friends outside the law enforcement community. Family members are presented with a program from veteran police couples, who define their relationships and the pitfalls they have overcome, as well as their successes.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the Family Support Program, Dr. Ellen Kirschman, author of <i>I Love a Cop<\/i>, spoke to police recruits and their spouses, parents, and siblings.<sup>1<\/sup> A copy of her book is still presented today as required reading and as a gift for the family to share.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training Academy has established an exemplary three-phase program of ongoing support for officers’ families that begins in basic training and continues throughout the officer\u2019s career,\u201d Kirschman said. \u201cNo longer invisible, police families are given the training and resources they need to manage the challenges that come with the law enforcement lifestyle. Strengthening police families benefits everyone. I hope more training academies are inspired to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Audrey Honig, a nationally recognized police psychologist for the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department, also spoke during one of the initial programs. She spoke from her expertise to families about how to deal successfully with various issues in the law enforcement profession and how to network and facilitate future support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program goes above and beyond any other I have seen or heard about,\u201d Honig said. She explained that it allows families of new recruits not only to learn about the training and career their loved ones are about to enter but also to support the development of networking with other law enforcement families and facilitate future support. Honig then commented, \u201cThis is an excellent program that, sadly, more departments fail to replicate due to lack of funds and\/or shortsightedness.\u201d Ultimately, a family can be either a great support or an ongoing pressure for officers; programs such as this foster the support officers need so much.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Implementation of the Program<\/b><\/h3>\n<table class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 65%; border-style: solid; border-color: #f5f6f8; background-color: #ffffff;\" border=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"332\"><strong>Table 1. <\/strong>Kentucky DOCJT family orientation program: current curriculum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; background-color: #c79c36; width: 100%;\" width=\"332\"><strong>Phase I<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"317\"><strong>Third Week of Basic Training, on Thursday Night<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #e3e8e6;\" width=\"317\"><em>3:00\u20135:00 p.m.: Family members only<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"317\">Orientation to basic training and facilities tour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #e3e8e6;\" width=\"317\">The importance and content of police training<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"317\">Issues officers face on the streets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #e3e8e6;\" width=\"317\"><em>5:00\u20137:00 p.m.: Family members and recruits free to go to dinner<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"317\"><em>7:00\u20139:00 p.m.: Guest speaker and spouse on a selected law enforcement issue<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; background-color: #c79c36; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\"><strong>Phase II<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\"><strong>Day before Graduation<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\"><em>1:00 p.m.\u20135:00 p.m.: Family members and recruits<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\">Family priority<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\">Unique stressors in law enforcement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\">Money management<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\">Dealing with administrative issues<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\">Dealing with community expectations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\">Dealing with media images<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\">Positive aspects of law enforcement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\">Gun safety in the home<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%;\" width=\"276\">Stress management and the benefits of wellness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 100%; background-color: #f5f0f0;\" width=\"276\">Available resources<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Goals and objectives were established in the beginning phases of the program. Personnel with counseling experience were selected to communicate the values of law enforcement, the importance of a balanced life, and a positive outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Lessons were learned from the U.S. military, which also has a significant program of family support groups worldwide. These support groups have proven quite successful, and it is only appropriate that police families share in that success. Many Kentucky officers have been called to active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Family support has taken on a dual definition for these officers and their families.<\/p>\n<p>As the Kentucky DOCJT program emerged, several questions needed to be answered. How much time can be spent on the program? What about logistics? What subjects need to be covered? And, of course, how can the department convince families from all across the state to come to the training? The solution was to offer a hotel room to the families as they attend Phase I. For Phase II, the department offers numerous resources as gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Table 1 outlines the curriculum for the family orientation program.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that officers understand that family priorities continue beyond basic training. The DOCJT offers a gift packet that includes a practical manual regarding the family support program, relevant books, and other practical gifts. The Family Resources icon on the department Web site (www.docjt.ky.gov) allows Kentucky\u2019s officers to locate available resources.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Program Benefits<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are several reasons this training is so vital. On a personal level, it shows officers and their families that the community has a vested interest in their welfare and career. It is also tactically important to receive this training: it is sometimes difficult to notice if a spouse or other loved one is mentally distressed. Marital, financial, or any other stressors from home just add pressure to an already stressful job. Furthermore, the training is also important for officer safety; clear-minded officers are less likely to be injured on the job.<\/p>\n<p>One of the benefits to agencies hiring these recruits is that they are getting more well-rounded officers with an established set of priorities and a much-needed support system. As a result, these recruits will miss less work, and their agencies will see fewer worker\u2019s compensation claims from injuries. In this regard, the training also benefits the tax-paying public.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Mike Ward of the Alexandria, Kentucky, Police Department stated, \u201cMost spouses don\u2019t really know what they are getting into. Police work is stressful, but it can be even more so on one\u2019s home life. Open communication between spouses about what goes on in our profession is critical to a long, healthy relationship. This program will set the standard for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No one at the Kentucky DOCJT believes that this training will prevent officers\u2019 problems or change the world. But by providing officers with tools to assist them in being successful in their homes, and thus in their law enforcement careers, it can make a difference, one officer at a time. \u25a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<aside class=\"pullout pullout--wide alignleft\"><b>Horace Johnson<\/b> earned both his bachelor\u2019s degree and his master\u2019s degree from Western Kentucky University.
