Product description

The Guidance for the Medical Evaluation of Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) is the first national consensus guidance for developing a comprehensive occupational health and safety program for police officers.​

The guidance was developed by a diverse Task Group of physicians, police officers and executives, and municipal managers with input from content experts and advocacy groups that relate to topic areas. The initiative was first organized by the Public Safety Medicine Section of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).
