It's officers looking out for other officers. A great way to help stop, or at least reduce, police suicides. BOL is a great concept. It’s officers looking out for other officers.

These are officers who have been involved in shootings and many other very stressful situations. This team will go (very quietly) to the aid of any officer who requests help or who has help requested on his behalf. I have lain awake staring at the ceiling many a night....I sought help after I retired and I wish that I had known of such a group while I was still serving.

We had 2 Deputies in our area commit suicide within a year of eachother just recently. We are all very close as their is less then 100 sworn in the entire county including local/state/fed agencies.
