: Mental rehearsal—visualizing yourself calmly handling a tough situation—can help reduce anxiety and improve confidence before high-stress calls. Just a few minutes of mental prep can shift your response from reactive to resilient.

When we talk openly about mental health, we normalize it. Sharing your story may help someone else feel less alone.

Next time someone mentions struggling, listen without trying to fix it. Just being there matters.

Tag someone who breaks the stigma around mental health.

: Don’t underestimate the power of peer support. Talking to someone who understands the job—whether it’s over coffee or after a call—can reduce stress and build resilience. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all alone either.

Challenging your brain with new skills or hobbies can be a powerful stress reducer and confidence booster.

Sign up for a class or pick up a hobby unrelated to work—it’s okay to enjoy things just for you.

: Dehydration doesn’t just affect your body—it impacts your mood, memory, and focus. Especially during long shifts, staying hydrated helps support both your physical performance and mental sharpness.

Saying “no” or unplugging after a shift isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Boundaries protect your energy and emotional health.

Practice leaving work at work. Set a “shutdown” ritual after your shift to mentally disconnect.

How do you decompress after work? Share your rituals.

: Consistency is key for mental resilience. Establishing small daily routines—like a regular wake-up time or a 5-minute mindfulness practice—can help ground you during stressful shifts. Your brain thrives on structure, especially when everything else feels unpredictable.

Sleep is foundational for mental health, yet shift work often disrupts it. Quality rest helps with emotional regulation, focus, and resilience.

Aim for a consistent sleep schedule when possible. Use blackout curtains and limit screen time before bed.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of MARTA Police Reserve Officer Tammy Hutt. Her dedication and service left a lasting impact. Our thoughts are with the entire MARTA Police Department as they mourn the loss of a valued member of their team.

On behalf of the MARTA Police Department, it is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Reserve Officer Tammy Hutt on July 3, 2025.

Officer Hutt began her career with the MARTA Police Department in April 2003 before retiring in 2014. She returned to the department in 2016 as a Reserve Officer and has assisted the Training Unit during that time.

Her loss is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside her.

We extend our deepest condolences to Officer Hutt's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Our hearts go out to all of our colleagues, friends, and the entire public safety community across Idaho in the wake of yesterday’s tragedy in Coeur d’Alene.

Even from a distance, events like these are deeply felt. We know that many first responders—whether directly involved or not—may be carrying the emotional weight of what happened or thinking about how it may be impacting their colleagues.

Please know that we are holding you in our thoughts and wishing you strength, safety, and steadiness in the days ahead. 💙
