Wellness Program

Umatilla Police Department employees invest their physical and mental health to provide the best service possible to the community. A wellness program is critically important in policing due to the unique and often highly stressful nature of law enforcement work. Officers regularly face situations that are not only physically demanding but also emotionally and psychologically taxing. These challenges can have significant impacts on their overall well-being, affecting their mental health, job performance, and personal lives. Implementing a comprehensive wellness program can address these issues and provide numerous benefits to both officers and the broader community.
