As the country observes National Police Week, the Chicago Tribune published an op-ed by Anthony Varchetto and Jeffrey Salvetti, co-founders of Bank the Blue and leaders within Blue Star Security, Protos Security’s Specialized Services Division, addressing the growing mental health challenges facing law enforcement professionals.
The piece explores the emotional toll carried by officers throughout their careers and the importance of confidential, stigma-free support systems for those serving on the front lines.
As the authors write: “Because some days, the most important call an officer may need to make is not over the radio. It’s the one asking for help.”
