State FOP Peer Wellness Team

All information is confidential, except what is required by law. These are trained current or retired police officers or correctional officers. Call (866) 535-1078, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. This number also accesses the FOP Disaster Response Unit and Chaplains.

Our members provide unique services and a great value to the citizens of Illinois. In addition, we support other state, local and federal law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois. We have specialized units such as a Bomb Squad, Underwater Investigation Unit and Tactical Teams. We provide expert investigations into identity crimes. We train agencies across the State in law updates and many other topics. We help fill federal and state task forces with manpower for auto theft, computer crimes and intelligence gathering.

The Secretary of State police provides law enforcement services for the State Capitol complex, including a SWAT team and Bomb Squad. We are the only department with primary jurisdiction at the Capitol, since the Secretary of State is the custodian of the entire complex. The complex is virtually a city unto itself with special needs and issues. If we had to say what our home turf is, we would say the State Capitol, although we serve the entire State with specialized investigative services and have since 1913.
