There are a of stressful situations that an officer deals with day in, and day out. They usually learn to just laugh a lot of it off at the end of the day. It is not that they are heartless, but it is a defense mechanism that helps keep them from burning out. They pick up hobbies where they can get away for a bit, such as camping. They spend time with their friends and family.

When there is a more serious situation, such as a fellow officer shot, a traumatic civilian death, use of deadly force, or any other situation that they may have trouble dealing with, there is crisis intervention. Crisis intervention is a program utilized by most law enforcement agencies. They are usually current or former officers, trained in grief counseling, tramatic stress, and other skills. By being officers themselves, they can relate to those having the problems on a closer level. Sometimes, it helps the officer to just have someone to vent to that gets it. Sometimes, when it seems they need more help, crisis intervention can get the officer outside help, and follow up with them.
