WHY discuss Blue Trauma Syndrome? Because, analyzing and discussing the challenges we face every day is paramount to overcoming the ones we can influence. Because, just like I believe that the first step in police officer su***de prevention is to start a discussion. That's the first step, talk is powerful! We hear what others believe and we also HEAR our own ideas when spoken out load that is the critical FIRST STEP toward prevention!
