THE METROPOLITAN (DC) POLICE DEPARTMENT LEMHWA IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WILL SUPPORT MPD'S MENTORING AND TRANSITIONING TO RETIREMENT PROGRAMMING EFFORTS. MENTORING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED FOR SUPPORT EMOTIONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SOURCES OF STRESS ASSOCIATED WITH JOINING MPD AS A RECRUIT AND FOR THOSE SEEKING PROMOTIONS OR TRANSFERS. PAIRING UP MEMBERS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT DURING THESE PERIODS IS CRITICAL FOR PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH AND RESILIENCY. RETIREMENT EDUCATION SESSIONS AT MPD HAVE TRADITIONALLY FOCUSED ON FINANCIAL ASPECTS, HOWEVER THE FACT THAT THE NATIONAL OFFICERS DIE ON AVERAGE WITHIN 5 YEARS OF RETIREMENT IS DAUNTING. IN OUR QUEST TO SUPPORT MEMBERS BEFORE THEY RETIRE AND CONNECT THEM WITH RESOURCES AND ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION OUT OF MPD WE WILL ESTABLISH A RETIREMENT TRANSITION PROGRAM. FINALLY, WE WILL CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON CHILDCARE. THIS IS A TOP STRESSOR ACROSS THE DEPARTMENT AND WAS ONLY EXACERBATED BY THE PANDEMIC. OUR MEMBERS HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE EXPLORE THIS AS A BENEFIT. AT MINIMUM, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE CHILDCARE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM WITH A THOUGHTFUL MARKET REVIEW. TOGETHER THESE EFFORTS WILL ENHANCE OUR EXISTING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.
