The Silent Trauma Behind the Badge
As an LAPD officer, you’ve seen things most people can’t imagine:
✅ Violent crime scenes
✅ Fatal accidents
✅ Dangerous standoffs
✅ Sudden, life-or-death decisions
If you’ve been feeling jumpy, angry, withdrawn, sleepless, or haunted by past calls, you may be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — and you’re far from alone.
But many officers stay silent because they fear the consequences of seeking help.
Why LAPD Officers Avoid Getting PTSD Support
✅ Fear of fitness-for-duty evaluations
✅ Worry that therapy will create a papertrail in department or insurance records
✅ Concern about career impact or peer judgment
✅ Lack of trust in therapists who don’t understand law enforcement
