The Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program awarded the Indiana State Police $195,390 on October 1, 2025, under the Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (CFDA 16.070) to establish a statewide wellness unit and peer support program serving law enforcement officers and their families across Indiana.

The program delivers private counseling, stress-management workshops, family support services, and health-habit tools for officers. Indiana State Police will train peer support personnel from across the state to provide listening support and intervention to colleagues in distress. The agency will launch a mobile app and secure online platform enabling officers and families to access resources, request help, and learn about wellness privately. The platform automates monthly reporting on peer-program effectiveness and generates early-intervention alerts allowing the wellness unit to track engagement and ensure continuity of support.

Performance occurs in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The assistance type is a Project Grant.

These trained peers will be available to talk to coworkers who may be struggling, offering help in a way that feels safe and relatable. To make these services more accessible, indiana state police will also introduce a new mobile APP and online platform where officers and their families can find resources, ask for help, and learn about health and wellness all in a private and secure way.
