A case study showing now the Violent Death Reporting System was used to study Law Enforcement Officer Suicide in the State of Maine. The research and data collected was used to effect change at many levels throughout the State. This presentation will cover what we did and how we did it, providing a lesson plan or road map for others throughout the country to get buy in from Executive Leadership, local and state legislators to make substantial changes to Law Enforcement in the State.

One piece of legislation, signed by the Governor, formed a Stakeholder group including LEO Executives, Members of the Boards of Trustees, Labor Union Leadership, and Clinicians. This group was tasked with studying the issues of Recruitment, Retention, and Wellness of Law Enforcement throughout the State. The information gleaned and report generated made a series of suggestions that have been moved by the Legislator to become law.
