PEER SUPPORT + PRIVACY IN NEW YORK

Ask what protection applies before you begin.

Since March 18, 2026, New York law protects qualifying communications in a formally established law-enforcement peer-support program with a trained, agency-designated peer specialist. That protection does not automatically cover every informal conversation between officers.

Ask whether this is the agency’s formal peer-support program and whether the peer is designated and trained.
Ask about exceptions, including safety concerns, threats, criminal conduct, mandatory reports, court orders and disclosure you authorize.
Outside clinicians and hotlines follow their own privacy, reporting and record rules.

CHOOSING A THERAPIST

Six questions can help you find the right fit.

How much experience do you have with law enforcement or first responders?
How do you handle job-related and firearms-related concerns?
What is confidential, what creates a record and what are the exceptions?
Which trauma approaches do you use?
Can you include a partner or family member when useful?
What happens if I need help between appointments?
