responders.
Interim City Manager Stables stated that civilians may experience five trauma
situations in a lifetime, but first responders might experience that in just one shift. He
noted that counseling is critical for first responders.

use it, if needed.

distinct, because it would take more for a Police Officer to come forward for help. He
asked why they were grouped together and not separate, so that it doesn't look like
we have police officers that have mental health problems.
Chief Bruder stated that they were combined because both are suffering from the
same type of trauma. He said that there are HIPAA rights, so if someone is on
medication, it stays private. He commented on the counseling that they need.

Chief Bruder responded that there are other cities with similar programs. He stated
that there are HIPAA laws that do not allow us to divulge information regarding the
counseling.

commented about the different environments that the Police and Fire personnel are
in, because Police are typically alone most of the time. She asked what the

EAP type of systems. He said contractually with this program, there is a 24-hour
response, but it's usually less than 12 hours.
Mayor Penserga asked if dispatchers are included under first responders.
Chief Bruder responded yes, they are included. He stated that the doctor also comes
in twice a year to do informational sessions.
Commissioner Kelley asked what is done for officers that aren't comfortable coming
to sessions and openly talking about topics.
Chief stated that Dr. Guma is here and could answer more questions. He said that it
starts at the top and trickles down. He mentioned that they will continue to work out
