In this talk Dr. Duxbury uses data on Canadian police officers collected in 2011, 2020 and 2021 to make the case that while many of the issues that are contributing to mental health challenges within policing services in Canada were in place long before COVID-19 struck (under-resourcing, multiple competing ever changing priorities, understaffing) some are quite new and highly problematic (officers do not feel supported by the public). Data are presented that show that the current situation is not sustainable over time and offers suggestions on possible ways forward.
