NYPD Chief of Department Terry Monahan announced Tuesday that the department has hired a new psychologist to work with troubled officers.The new hire will oversee a team of psychologists in every borough who officers can turn to in a time of need, Monahan said. She will be a familiar face and"someone they can speak to on a regular basis and when something is happening in their lives," Monahan said.
Previously, officers sent to see a departmental psychologist may have worried about suffering a mark on their career or having their guns stripped from them. While removing an officer's service weapon will remain an option, the new psychologist's first responsibility will be to offer treatment, Monahan said."Any decision that she would be involved in would be based on what’s best for the cop,” Monahan said."Her goal is not to protect the agency. It’s to protect the cop.
