As Promised- 3 minute After Call Self Check-In

We know how to assess a scene. But how often do we assess ourselves

We respond. We handle the call. We write the report. We move on.

But sometimes the impact of what we've experienced doesn't move on with us.

And recognizing that impact isn't weakness.

Today, I'm giving you something practical.

The 3-Minute After-Call Check-In.

Four steps to help you:
✔ Recognize changes in yourself
✔ Identify what you may be carrying
✔ Determine when additional support might help
✔ Choose one action toward recovery

You don't need to wait until you're overwhelmed to start taking care of yourself.

Save this carousel. Use it after a difficult call or a challenging stretch of shifts.

We were trained to handle the call. But were we taught how to handle what the call leaves behind?

In law enforcement, strength is often measured by how much we can handle without showing it.

But repeated exposure to difficult and traumatic events can affect even the most experienced, capable officers.

Recognizing those effects isn't weakness. And seeking support isn't failure.

It's part of protecting your long-term health, your relationships, and your career.

You can be strong and still need support. Both can be true.

You don't have to carry everything you respond to.

Behind every uniform is a person with struggles you may never see. 💙 You don’t have to carry it all alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength—your story matters, and so do you.

There’s a lot more new—and official—information here.

So, is this still relevant?

Are there still women serving as police officers in DPD?

Then yes. It is still relevant.

No one that sat through these hearings believed that this supervisor “accidentally” did any of this. Listen yourself.

Everyone knows the victim in this case is a sworn police officer.

Everyone knows he lied.

The Chief himself said, “It’s not enough.”

He told this supervisor, “It’s your lucky day.”

And then he allowed him to not only remain on the department, but continue to supervise.

That is why this story remains such a serious issue for us. This stopped being about one incident a long time ago. It represents the larger problems women in this profession continue to face—and somehow, with every new revelation, it gets worse.

As the kids say, all the quiet parts are being said out loud now.

Chief Comeaux said this decision was made “for the best interest of the department.”

What a gut punch to the women who put their lives on the line every single day.

On National Police Women’s Day, we received an email telling us how valued we are.

At the same time, when female officers and their advocates speak publicly about conduct we believe demonstrates a serious institutional failure, the Department’s official response is to shame us for speaking at all.

Those two messages cannot coexist without being challenged.

You cannot celebrate women officers when it is convenient and then condemn them for refusing to stay quiet when it is uncomfortable.

The message being sent is not subtle:

Keep your mouth shut. Deal with it quietly. And if you refuse, we will deflect from the conduct and real issues and make your decision to speak the problem instead.

Our response?

This ain’t our first rodeo.

Women in law enforcement have heard versions of that message for generations. Stay quiet. Don’t make trouble. Don’t embarrass the organization. Don’t talk about what happened. Protect the institution first.

What is remarkable is that, in 2026, any police department would still believe that tactic is acceptable—much less put it into an official statement.

We are not going to be shamed into silence.

We are not going to allow legitimate concerns about the treatment of a female officer to be reframed as wrongdoing by the people who had the courage to raise them.

And we are not going to accept ceremonial praise for women in policing as a substitute for actually standing up for women in policing when it matters.
