R3 PROGRAM

The Process

A smiling police officer sitting in his patrol car, with a smartwatch visible on his wrist.

Step 1:

Access R3 resources through the website, the OWL Unit, or Peer Support. Review available options and select the program that best suits your needs.

Step 2:

After selecting a program, complete the required participation steps, including the anonymous pre‑program Moral Injury survey through R3, coordinating directly with the training provider, submitting the appropriate Training Order, and scheduling with a culturally competent mental health professional if mental health leave is requested. The OWL Unit and Peer Support are available throughout this process, including to assist with retroactive requests if needed.

Step 3:

Attend and complete the approved program. Once finished, complete the anonymous post‑program moral injury survey and internal training evaluation, then submit their certificate of completion to the Wellness Unit to close out participation.
