“Saving the Lives of the People Who Save Lives”
Our goal is for cops to have happy, healthy and successful lives on the job and beyond
The Law Enforcement Survival Institute (LESI) works with individuals and organizations to help them create and sustain success in their lives and careers as law enforcement professionals.
No one argues that law enforcement is a very stressful career. What is in question however is what are the true risk factors working against a law officer? Is it really the bad guys who are killing most cops? According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund 145 officers lost their lives in the line of duty in the United States in 2006. Of that number 56 were murdered and 89 died accidental deaths (mostly in motor vehicle accidents). The National Police Suicide Foundation reports however, that the numbers of deaths due to suicide are 2 to 3 times the number of line of duty deaths among law enforcement agencies and emergency workers That means that over seven times as many officers took their own lives than those who were killed by the bad guys. Research and anecdotal evidence suggests that cops have a higher incidence of almost all forms of cancer than most Americans, and may have a higher incidence of alcoholism, divorce and perhaps financial ruin or bankruptcy. Further anecdotal evidence suggest that this in an international phenomenon with universal implications.
It is the primary goal of The Law Enforcement Survival Institute to become the preeminent source for training, resources and information about how to create and sustain a happy, healthy and successful life and career while providing superior law enforcement service to your community.
