The Pain Behind The Badge, L.L.C., is not merely a documentary movie about
police suicide but an entire training seminar designed to help police officers,
police employees, and first responders to deal with the struggles associated
with police work, Cumulative Stress, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
This training presented by Clarke Paris, an active police sergeant with more than 26 years experience, and Tracie Paris, a Registered Nurse with 26 years
experience, also addresses issues such as police stress, depression and
the roles they play in law enforcement(relationships, use of force, Internal
Affairs complaints, motivation, etc.).
The instructors use their personal experience and training to make this
training dynamic, entertaining, and informative. Some of the other topics
discussed in this Police Suicide Prevention Seminar are Peer Support, Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Employee Assistance Programs
(E.A.P.), Critical Incident Stress management (CISM), and the use of Police
Chaplains, to name a few.
This training is P.O.S.T. certified & approved in several states, and
is a powerful tool that can be used by agencies and organizations, not only
to train officers and civilians on the above topics, but it hopefully will
reduce Police Suicide by: educating employees on the signs/symptoms of these
stressors; convincing struggling employees that they are not alone; and
convincing employees that the help already in place does work and they should
accept it. Please enjoy the web site and feel free to contact us with any
