Cook County Sheriff’s Office

Sheriff Dart writes: "First responders disproportionately face stressful and traumatic situations — because we need them to do so. Studies show police are exposed to approximately 178 critical incidents in a career while the public is exposed to an average of three traumatic experiences in a lifetime. That is why I wrote legislation that passed this year to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for counseling for first responders, including police officers, firefighters, correctional officers, 911 operators and emergency medical services personnel."
