TTM PTP was developed to address an unmet need in the marketplace—specifically, the need for first responders to have access to anonymous counseling from a peer after their shift (“tour”).
To meet this critical need, we created Post Tour Processing (PTP), an anonymous, confidential, and secure protocol designed to help law enforcement officers navigate the challenges of their profession. By providing a structured system of peer support, PTP aims to reduce stress, alcoholism, divorce, and suicide within the law enforcement community nationwide.
This initiative was not developed in isolation—it was built by police, for police, with police. Post Tour Processing is an independent, not-for-profit organization founded by retired police officers and professionals who recognized a crucial gap in available services. The Executive Board of TTM PTP led the charge in identifying and implementing this preventive program, ensuring officers have a safe and reliable space to support each other in ways that were previously unavailable.
It is imperative that an autonomous, anonymous option be offered to afford law enforcement officers the opportunity to “rewind their roll call” and support each other with what only they can understand. The PTP-trained peer facilitated forum will afford an opportunity for support and education as well as issue identification and, when appropriate, referrals. Police officers will be able to voluntarily seek peer support through a secure, anonymous virtual platform. This independent forum will address concerns that officers have about their career being diminished as a result of seeking assistance. This independent option will not preclude or replace the existing programs available to law enforcement. The current programs do not adequately meet the needs of some officers. It is simply believed that a bifurcated program will envelope most law enforcement officers.
Our program has an Oversight Committee that ensures input and collaboration from a panel sensitive to the needs of law enforcement. Ongoing educational seminars and presentations are provided, offering the **most preventive approach** for early PTSD support.
