Recently, Dr. Peter Killeen, Port Authority PBA Stress Counselor, spoke at the first-ever Police Conference of New York (PCNY) Mental Health Seminar.
During Dr. Killeen's address he spoke about the importance of law enforcement officer health and wellness and the law enforcement union's role in supporting members' mental health and well-being.
Dr. Killeen introduced seminar attendees to the Port Authority PBA mental health program. A union-based program that has been in place for more than 35 years and was one of the nation's first law enforcement union mental health programs.
Dr. Killeen used his own experiences as a former police officer and his work in the World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery efforts counseling workers at the site. He emphasized his own struggles, resulting from not taking care of himself while helping others. He said, "peer support is an invaluable tool."
Dr. Killeen is a leading voice in bringing law enforcement officers' mental health and physical well-being to the forefront of the law enforcement profession.

The Port Authority PBA is saddened to learn of the passing of Linda Zadroga, mother of the late New York City Police Detective James Zadroga.
Detective Zadroga succumbed to a 9/11 cancer contract during his selfless work in the toxic environment of the World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery efforts.
Mrs. Zadroga and her husband Joe fought for and were instrumental in the creation of state and federal 9/11 Disability and Death bills, the World Trade Center Health Program, and the Victim Compensation Fund.
A statement by the New York City Detectives Endowment Association stated in part, "They were fierce and steady advocates for all first responders."
The Zadrogas' efforts led to a bill, named for their son, that provides for those who suffered and continue to suffer with 9/11 related illnesses.Mrs. Zadroga's arrangements are:
