First responders standing together
Mississippi Law Enforcement Alliance for Peer Support

Strength in Support. No One Stands Alone.

The Mississippi Law Enforcement Alliance for Peer Support (MS LEAPS) provides trained peer support to first responders following critical incidents and high-stress events. MS LEAPS also offers peer support in the areas of everyday stress and strain of the job, line-of-duty deaths, suicide recognition, suicide prevention, and family/Relationship stress.

Our Mission

Peer support built for those who serve

First responders face trauma, stress, and loss that most people will never experience. MS LEAPS exists to ensure no officer, firefighter, or paramedic has to carry that weight alone.

We believe that the people who run toward danger deserve the same care and support they give to others. Our peer support model is built on trust, confidentiality, and the shared experience of those who have walked the same path. LEAPS members are NOT certified professional mental health members, but we can help you access them.

30%-35%Of law enforcement officers test positive for at least one behavioral disorder.
2xmore officers die by suicide than in the line of duty each year
40%Of Law Enforcement Officers have at least 1 sleep disorder.
