Purpose Police officers in the UK frequently experience traumatic events and work pressures, these can have a detrimental impact on mental health. A psychological surveillance programme has been implemented clinically evaluated. This paper reports an economic evaluation of programme. Design/methodology/approach decision analytic model was developed to explore costs, outcomes return investment for notional cohort 1,000 police personnel (officers staff). The parameters were obtained from large data set sequential results. Changes individual productivity derived workability measure included survey. Findings modelled expected total cost incurred screen participants £84,287 ($106,971). net increase those receiving interventions valued at £241,672 ($306,713). result represents 187%. Sensitivity analyses showed that robust changes key parameters. Research limitations/implications experiencing may need specialist support occupational health services or therapy. Screening detect problems, but its cost-effectiveness previously unknown. Practical implications value money providing within force problems is assessed this research. gains terms increased are evident. In similar environmental working conditions, could extend emergency globally. Social often called upon deal with lowest points people’s lives. findings forces wishing be able provide best themselves situations. Originality/value There no previous studies policing concluded running financially viable. Although requires initial investment, models extra costs more than offset by improved productivity.
