The HCSO’s mental health scam.

Work on short handed overloaded squads and units for years.

Become symptomatic.

Then go to EAP or see one of our HCSO quacks.

Get told to box breath, meditate, hug a tree, journal, get back into nature, eat better, work out. Basically blame you. Distract yourself with these tasks.

No change for the better on your squad or unit and become more symptomatic. Quit or worse.

No real fixes to proactively spread the destructive mental load amongst many. No fixes to ease what we do. Why do we still operate and deploy the same as 30 years ago? Why are deputies still being used as county coroners, mental health clinicians, college professors to interns, and so on…

Why no services, at least for US TO USE, when we deal with the rampant mental health, addiction, and homeless crisis in this sinking ship of a rotting county?

With the budget this county has, how are there no systems in place for the basics other than, send a deputy. Why are delayed 350’s not taken as direct walk ins to CID? Why are street deputies, mainly rookies, interviewing children regarding sexual abuse and not seasoned detectives with a forensic team right off the bat.

How is there no third party entity to handle none violent mental health calls. Do you egotistical moron leaders think people in crisis what cops at their door?

Why do you use your critically short and most busy as your gate keepers to everything?

Apply your “two chiefs” logic to your essential units. Double up on staff. Stop pulling from patrol. Let command and executive positions be short too to keep from the constant pulling.

There is a lot of resentment out here.

How about use your overpaid occupational psychologist in the manner in which they were designed? To debrief us confidentially and report back to you leaders what we are going through? That’s what she should really be doing instead of collecting $140 per deputy for her online program. Not be some overpaid LMHC.

Stop with the games.
 
How many deputy suicides does it take too see that something is not right at the HCSO? How about murder suicides? Go back ten years. Why only ever deputies? Why never and rank higher? How long are you going to keep pushing your deputies knowing full and well the stress the baseline job already causes?
