At the direction and with the consent of CITY's Police Department, <br />CONSULTANT shall provide similar post traumatic incident counseling <br />services to immediate family members of involved officer(s) adversely <br />impacted by the incident. The goal of such services shall be to stabilize <br />external factors which might otherwise affect officer(s) return to duty or <br />recovery and to determine if referral to other private service providers is <br />warranted.
