The Pain Behind The Badge©: Press Coverage & Articles

Selected Press Articles and Coverage:

The #1 Cop Killer in the United States of America is Police Suicide. Fact: More police officers die at their own hand each year than at the hand of an assailant.

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.
