Hotlines and Help (24-hour crisis line phone numbers are listed below)

If you or someone you know is in a crisis situation, or you believe harm may come to someone, including yourself, or you don't know how you are going to manage to get through the day or sleep through the night do not hesitate to reach out and get in contact with someone. Getting help does not, by any means, that you are weak or powerless. You are not. Instead, It takes significant courage. All of the resources located within this section are free and confidential. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are staffed by mental health professionals who have explicit experience with police officers because they were police officers or first responders themselves.
