The policing profession is in the midst of a global mental health and wellness crisis (Edwards, 2023). The police workforce (including police officers and non-uniform members) serves as the backbone to maintaining community safety and well-being; however, sentiments across the profession point to an overwhelming sense of stress, burnout, and mental healthrelated issues. Anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, suicide, and post-traumatic stress disorder are being reported at alarming rates among police service members (Tam-Seto & Thompson, 2023). A Canadian study showed that 37% of police officers at the municipal and provincial level and 50% of police officers at the federal level reported having a mental health disorder (Carleton et al., 2017, as cited in Grupe, 2023. These are just disclosed statistics. The mental health and wellness of the workforce is not a sector-specific issue; it is a human issue-one facing every single police service in Canada and, indeed, globally.We sponsored the first special edition of the Journal of Community Safety & Well-Being focused on "Envisaging the Future," because we recognize that you cannot have safe, healthy, and resilient communities without a safe, healthy, and resilient police workforce. Full stop. Wellness, focused on health promotion and disease prevention, is foundational to a sustainable model of policing that supports the health and safety of our communities. Recognizing this is a complex issue that will not be solved with simple solutions, our Security and Justice and Health Care practices have come together to co-sponsor this second special edition focused on wellness and resilience in policing.
