Moral injury has played a devastating role within law enforcement all throughout the nation. Hundreds of officers every year commit physical suicide while many more commit occupational suicide when they lose their ability to cope with the shame, guilt, frustration and other negative emotions surrounding being an officer. This then can compromise the officer’s performance in the line of duty. Having a good mental, emotional, and spiritual foundation is extraordinarily critical in every aspect of our lives.
The Bruised Badge strives to empower and strengthen the personal wellness of officers and bring awareness to the resources that are available to them.
