The mental health and physical wellbeing of all public safety personnel is a high priority of Baltimore County. In an effort to make wellness services readily available to members of the Police Department and their families, the Office of information Technology partnered with Police to implement a wellness application. It is a confidential, easy to use, and customizable application, which is installed automatically on County assigned smart phone or an individual’s personal phone. The application provides access to peer/chaplain support, stress management, anonymous self-assessments, and over 50 other tools and resources. There are over 1,900 sworn personnel in the Baltimore County Police department that have access to this app via their assigned County phone or they can also download on personal device.
