Wellness Early Intervention Program: Using Technology to Strengthen our Police Service

Early intervention and wellness programs in policing are designed to proactively address the mental health and well-being of officers and civilian staff, aiming to reduce burnout and improve job satisfaction. Technology plays a crucial role by enabling the early detection of stress and behavioral changes through data analytics. Despite their benefits, these programs face challenges such as privacy
concerns, resource constraints, and funding limitations. Successful implementations of wellness early interventions programs have shown positive outcomes like improved officer well-being and better community relations.

Presenters:

Christine Callaghan, Wellness Analyst, Early Intervention Program, Ottawa Police Service

The Evolution of Police Leadership: Where We Came From, Where We Are, and Where We’re Going
