Psych assessments for high ris
MORE than 1200 at-risk police will receive regular psychological assessment under an expansion of an officer welfare program, the NSW Government said.
NSW Police Minister Carl Scully today announced the $105 million expansion of the WellCheck programme, aimed at reducing psychological and physical injury for police officers.
NSW Police paid out $19 million in WorkCover claims last financial year to officers who were assaulted, hit by cars, bitten by animals, fell from heights, were stabbed with syringes or came into contact with chemicals on the job.
One female officer was compensated for being kicked in the head by a mounted police horse whilst on crowd control duty.
Mr Scully said the psychological intervention program had been trialled in the child protection and sex crimes squad.
It would now be extended to include homicide, crash investigation, disaster victim identification, rescue and bomb disposal, forensic services, tactical operations and negotiations units, he said.
"Under this plan police will be regularly assessed to identify early officers who are in danger of burn out or of psychological injury," Mr Scully said in a statement.
"Early intervention means at-risk officers can receive assistance or get transferred to other duties."
