Happy New Year! I know you are all with me when I say I can't believe we have started another year. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022!
My concentration for this year is balance. Life balance is important to maintain personal and professional wellbeing and success. These areas are merging more than ever, as work, school and homelife are intertwined. I am taking extra time this year to focus on a healthy balance of the demands in my life and I encourage you to do the same.
You may see things on social media that concern you, but don't believe everything you read. Please contact me with your questions or concerns and I will give you the facts. Also, communicating with you is important as it helps me understand the needs and priorities of the community. Help me help you. Please contact me at erothstein@carrollcountymd.gov or call me at 443-547-0741.
Very Respectfully,

Abstract: Previous epidemiological research indicates that police officers have an elevated risk of death relative to the general population overall and for several specific causes.
Despite the increased risk for mortality found in previous research, controversy still exists over the life expectancy of police officers.
The goal of the present study was to compare life expectancy of male police officers from Buffalo New York with the U.S. general male population utilizing an abridged life table method.
On average, the life expectancy of Buffalo police officers in our sample was significantly lower than the U.S. population (mean difference in life expectancy = 21.9 years; 95% CI: 14.5-29.3; p < 0.0001).
Life expectancy of police officers was shorter, and differences were more pronounced in younger age categories. Additionally, police officers had a significantly higher average probability of death than did males in the general population (mean difference = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.26-0.54; p < 0.0001).
The years of potential life lost (YPLL) for police officers was 21 times larger than that of the general population (Buffalo male officers vs. U.S. males = 21.7, 95% CI: 5.8-37.7).
Possible reasons for shorter life expectancy among police are discussed, including stress, shift work, obesity, and hazardous environmental work exposures.

Since 1978 RCIS has provided free counseling and support services to victims of sexual violence and their families. RCIS also offers prevention education programs and professional training. Rape Crisis provides a 24-hour hot line and therapy services to both male and female victims of sexual violence. All services are free and confidential. Every dollar donated makes a huge difference in a survivor’s healing journey at RCIS.
The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event helps provide awareness to these valuable services in our community.
Please see the attached flyer and visit www.walkamilecc.org for more information.

Disclosure: Yup – in full disclosure I have helped support RCIS, anonymously as a private citizen, as a public official and as a fire and police chaplain since the days in which it was known as the “The Carroll County Sexual Assault Center,” before it changed its name in 1985 to RCIS. For many years the director of Rape Crisis was a Carroll County Public School classmate of mine, and from time to time I have ghost-written a few articles for the organization.
On March 25, 1996, I wrote, in part, “Rape Crisis provides a valuable service to the community involving an ugly crime. In an ideal world, such services would not be needed, unfortunately, Rape Crisis provides a needed program in Carroll County. A few of the services that come quickly to mind are: 1.Victim walk-in service. 2. Accompaniment for medical attention, police investigation and court appearances. 3. Individual, group and support group therapy service, 4. 24 Hour hotline, and 5. Community education and professional training. “Rape Crisis provides these valuable counseling, support and advocacy programs for free and maintains a person's ability to seek help anonymously…”

Last week on Thursday, January 28, 2021 Donna Jean Shybunko, Father Mark, Jimmy DeWees, and I got together at WTTR to tape a few promotional spots for the 'Priests on the Roof!' event on Feb. 4, 2021. Father Mark climbed up on the roof at 7:30 a.m. on February 4th at St. John Catholic School, and stayed up there until $15,000 was raised for St. John Catholic School's Day of Giving!!" https://www.facebook.com/kevindayhoff/posts/10221668716120767
