More PTSD care for public safety officers
This bill would require the Attorney General, through the COPS Office, to send Congress a report within 150 days proposing at least one DOJ-run program to make state-of-the-art treatments and preventive care available for job-related PTSD and acute stress disorder to public safety officers and 911 telecommunicators. The report would describe services like evidence-based trauma-informed care, peer support, counselor services, family supports, draft grant rules to protect confidentiality, and draft legislative language and estimated annual appropriations. The Attorney General would have to consult federal, State, Tribal, territorial, and local employers and relevant nongovernmental organizations when developing the proposals. The requirement applies only if the Attorney General determines a DOJ program is appropriate and feasible and does not itself provide funding.
