Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is a consistently recognized therapy for officer wellness. There is an early intervention EMDR that demonstrates significant reduction in symptoms after work-related critical incidents. The International Association of Chiefs of Police specifically outlines the need for departments to have access to immediate psychological services for critical incidents–and department leadership needs to know what to ask when vetting mental health providers. There are critical differences between the standard EMDR provided for law enforcement with cumulative traumatic memories and the officer who just experienced an officer involved shooting. Knowing the difference can help departments vet providers with The Right Stuff. Early Intervention EMDR can help officers return to work after a critical incident feeling more confident, and it can reduce the likelihood of that officer developing post-traumatic stress disorder later in their career.
