The Santa Ana Police Department recognizes the <br />importance of routine and post -incident debriefings to assist employees in processing events in a <br />healthy and productive manner while minimizing the risk of post incident stress that can lead to physical <br />and psychological disorders. Therefore, at the request of the Chief of Police or his/her designee, the <br />consultant shall: <br />1. Conduct routine group debriefings with units that are regularly exposed to high levels of <br />stress (Le. child abuse investigators, crime scene investigators, and dispatchers) to ensure <br />the group's ongoing well-being. <br />2. Hold a post -critical incident meeting ahead of a formal debriefing to discuss normal <br />reactions to stress and healthy methods to process stress. When necessary, such <br />meetings shall be conducted prior to the affected employee's end of watch. <br />3. Facilitate post -incident group debriefings with affected employees following a critical <br />incident. Such debriefings should ideally be held within 24-72 hours of the incident but, <br />given the need to coordinate varying work schedules, shall be conducted as close in time to <br />the incident as practical. <br />F.Consultation Services <br />On-call status is required to respond to criminal incidents such as SWAT call -outs or major <br />investigations as requested. <br />Consultant shall: <br />Consult with the Department's management regarding psychological profiles and <br />recommended approach to addressing specific suspects. <br />2.
