As law enforcement officers are regularly exposed to unique stressors during the course of their occupation, they are at elevated risk of developing mental health problems. Indeed, previous literature has identified that law enforcement officers endorse higher rates of mental health problems than the general population. Despite this, many officers do not seek mental health treatment. Lack of service utilization is particularly concerning as mental health problems have been associated with deficits in job performance. The current study aimed to identify rates of mental health problems with the Texas law enforcement community, as well as rates of treatment seeking for job-related incidents. This study identified that mental health problems are common among officers in Texas, with the three most frequently endorsed conditions being: sleep disturbances (45.00%), depression (32.90%), and PTSD (12.90%). Further, only 1.40% of officers were currently in mental health treatment and 17.90% had previously sought out mental health related treatment. These findings, their implications, and future directions are discussed.

由于执法人员在职业期间经常受到独特压力的影响，因此他们面临出现精神健康问题的风险较高。实际上，以前的文献已经确定，执法人员对精神健康问题的支持率高于一般人群。尽管如此，许多官员仍未寻求心理健康治疗。缺乏服务利用尤其令人担忧，因为精神健康问题与工作表现不足有关。当前的研究旨在确定德克萨斯州执法机构的精神健康问题发生率，以及与工作有关的事件寻求治疗的发生率。这项研究发现，心理健康问题在德克萨斯州的军官中很常见，最常见的三种情况是：睡眠障碍（45.00％），抑郁症（32.90％）和PTSD（12.90％）。此外，目前只有1.40％的官员接受了心理健康治疗，而之前曾寻求心理健康相关治疗的人为17.90％。讨论了这些发现，它们的含义以及未来的方向。
