MN Law Enforcement Family Support Network (MN LEFSN)
Nearly 10,000 men and women are in law enforcement jobs in Minnesota. These officers face significant job related stressors that often have an impact on their families and loved ones. Families and loved ones are often asked to play a critical role in their officer’s overall support.
Officers who reported healthy family/interpersonal relationships overwhelmingly reported higher job satisfaction and a lower level of stress… What do these results have in common with the concept of a state wide law enforcement family support network? Simply put, the overall emotional, psychological and physical (spiritual) health of law enforcement officers will directly impact the services rendered to a community.
