The goal of the Peer Support Team is to provide all employees with an opportunity for support during times of personal or professional crisis. The Peer Support Team is a personnel-based support activity and is administered by the Commanding Officer in the Resource Management Division.

The structure of the Peer Support Team is based on internal criteria rather than individual rank or job title. One of the most important responsibilities of a team member is the promotion of trust, anonymity, and confidentiality for employees who seek the assistance of the Peer Support Team.

Communication between a Peer Support Team member and an employee is considered privileged by the department, with the exception of those matters involving violations of the law or departmental misconduct.

Clinical matters concerning the Peer Support Team are directed to the program psychologist who maintains a working relationship with team members. The Peer Support Team remains under the auspices of the Training Division.
