"Here at Merseyside Police the wellbeing of officers, staff and their families is really important to me.
As Chief Constable, in order to deliver on my commitment to the communities of Merseyside I need a healthy, happy and resilient workforce. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we look after each other throughout the challenges we might face in our policing career.
I hope the information on this page helps you and your families should you ever need it."
If you have a family member or close friend who works in the police, we’re here for you too.
You’ll find resources and support for families and friends in this section of our website.
At Merseyside Police, we understand the importance of our officers and staff having a wider support network both in and outside of work.
As a partner, relative or friend, we know that you could be the first to notice the way their job can be affecting them day to day.
We know that this can be challenging for you too, in the police we are one big family and want to support you as well.
