In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS professionals and the important work they do in our nation's communities. National Emergency Medical Services Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's frontline.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Law enforcement officers face a higher risk of su***de than the general public.

Between 2016 and 2022, 1,287 law enforcement and corrections officers died by su***de, averaging 184 deaths per year.

Su***de in law enforcement is a serious and ongoing public safety concern. Comprehensive data collection, awareness campaigns, and accessible mental health resources are essential to prevent deaths, support officers, and honor those who have served.

Recognizing the signs of distress and promoting early intervention can save lives and strengthen the well-being of law enforcement personnel.
