Live interview with Police Chief Cory Darling, of Sunriver PD, Oregon, USA.
Cory managed to cut down his police department's sick days to one third and reduce insurance claims by half, "simply" by addressing the mental health of his officers.
If you would like to know how he did that, and how this could perhaps be done in your own police force, make sure you watch this interview.
Ginny McKenna, police stress expert, and Dr Susanne Knabe-Nicol aka Police Science Dr, speak to Cory on how he improved his officers' wellbeing and saved the force thousands of dollars!
