Abstract
The importance of this article for emergency service workers, such as police officers, lies in the connection between processes of government and outcomes on the street-especially the impact on the mental health of frontline police officers. Organizational responsibility for the protection and mental health of frontline personnel is vital in the stressful political and social environment in Brazil, where solidarity is essential for effective policing work and for developing and maintaining a culture of caring for one another. 'Keeping each other's back' is central in the face of high levels of violence and crime, not just in southern Brazil, but in other jurisdictions where police operate in stressful environments, which have been exacerbated by deleterious social conditions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
