Good morning. Welcome to May.

This month will mark Mother's Day, Police Week, Memorial Day, the end of the school year for some and the unofficial beginning of summer.

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, and I believe it's something we should all pay attention to. The suicide rate for law enforcement is too high and needs to be addressed.

With National Police Memorial Day in May, as we honor all those who have fallen in the line of duty, perhaps it's time we also start paying attention to those who take their own lives due to the stresses of the job. It's worth looking at, calling some awareness to, and making sure your officers know what resources are available—including your open office door.

Stay safe!

—Lt. Frank Borelli (ret)

The evolution of technology has brought both solutions and challenges as police departments and law enforcement agencies try to strike a balance with a public safety mission.
It's unavoidable for law enforcement agencies to deal with top leadership changes over the years, making it important for these departments to avoid the “messy middle" when transitioning from old to new.
