“The worst thing I could have done would have been to keep my feelings inside, bottled up. This course helped me confront issues that had to be dealt with if was going to continue my line of work.”

“This helped me realize that I was still carrying some baggage from my incident and that it was affecting my personal and professional life. I have left that baggage at the PCIS and look forward to getting back to being my old self. Thank You!”

“This program is something that was well thought out and planned. This is something that has been overlooked for a long time and (we) have lost a lot of officers due to the fact that they had no one to help them manage and deal with the stress. It is a good program that should be given at least twice a year.”

“The PCIS is a great chance to talk with others and to hear their stories and to know that your feelings and fears are normal.”

“This is a great program to go through when a Critical Incident occurs. Talking about your incident with peers is a great way to relieve a lot of stress cause by your incident.”

“The PCIS was great for me because I was able to share with others without any worry of any backlash. To share with other officers is to help one’s own being.”

“The PCIS has helped me to deal with the small and large problems in dealing with my incident. This is an opportunity well worth the time it takes to come to the class.”

“It is a very worthwhile program, meeting others who have experienced similar incidents and feelings. You come away with a different perspective on the events that brought you here and you realize there are others who have been through it and survived…….survived not only physically, but emotionally. P.S. Thanks for making me attend.”

“If you think nobody understands your situation, coming to this class will change your mind. You are not alone.”

“No matter what type of Critical Incident, this seminar is an important element to put anyone on the track of recovery. It has the power to clear minds and free emotions that may hinder ones ability to do day-to-day tasks. If it were a movie, it would be a must see”

“The PCIS has helped me accept my role in my incident. There were some emotions that I was hiding inside. This seminar has shown me that I can make it through an incident and survive.”

“This program has helped me understand I am not alone and that being a part of the law enforcement family is a true honor and blessing.”

“This seminar is a must for any officer that has been through a critical incident. No one should ever feel alone in their incident when there is so much caring and support through the Law Enforcement Peer Team. Our state has needed this for a long time and I am very glad to have been part of the first seminar including spouses. All departments, big and small, should be required to know of the law enforcement peer team and their unique specialization.” (law enforcement spouse)

“I know who I came here as, and I feel that for the first time in years that I am okay. That I am going to be okay. It is because of this program that I will be able to go home and go back to work, and feel normal again. Thanks!”
