Manchester attacks: Police officers have to 'venture into hell'
A senior police officer who suffered a mental illness after years of witnessing trauma says the impact of horrific events such as the Manchester attacks on the emergency services has yet to be fully understood.
"We ask police to go to the places the rest of us couldn't or wouldn't and we ask them to do it repeatedly," Ch Supt John Sutherland tells the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
"For 25 years I've watched colleagues do those things with extraordinary compassion and they do it so beautifully, but I don't think we've even begun to understand the impact it has on them to be exposed to repeated trauma."
The senior Metropolitan Police officer knows from personal experience just how serious the impact can be.
In 2013, after years serving as a frontline police officer, Ch Supt John Sutherland began to feel unwell. He went on to suffer severe anxiety, depression and crippling exhaustion.
Survivors' guilt
After going to see his GP, he was given emergency counselling, prescribed anti-depressants and signed off work.
It has taken him years to come to terms with his breakdown, which he says was caused by the trauma of dealing with the impact of horrific crimes, including murders and terror attacks.
Now, when terror attacks such as the ones in Manchester and Westminster take place, Ch Supt Sutherland says he "struggles" to deal with the extensive news coverage.
"It's the simple trauma of it," he says. "I can't look at the pictures or read much of the coverage because I care too much.
"The second thing I struggle with is my inability to respond in the ways I used to be able to. It is a survivors' guilt type thing, knowing my colleagues are in there in the thick of it but if I was to even try I would be more unhelpful than helpful like offering personal support on the front line or visiting."
Ch Supt Sutherland was a serving officer during the 7/7 attacks, when four suicide bombers killed 52 people in central London and injured more than 700. He was also at the scene of the failed 21/7 attacks, when failed bombers targeted three London Underground trains and a bus in an attempted repeat attack.
Since then, he has worked directly with colleagues who were first on the scene of 7/7 and the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
"The reality is police officers venture into hell and they see things and deal with things and have to make choices that are beyond the comprehension of most of us," he says.
But that bravery can come at a cost.
"From my experience of being at murder scenes, what I understand now is that it would be impossible to venture into those places and not be affected by it. We'd be something less than human if we didn't feel something.
"I didn't understand until years later the extent of the impact of what had I'd experienced and had happened to me," he says.
"It was no single thing for me that suddenly caught up on me after 22 years, it was cumulative."
He has now chronicled his illness and the causes of it in a book, called A Life in Blue: a Memoir.
"As a society we have yet to fully understand the effect of repeated exposure to trauma on police," he says.
Ch Supt Sutherland, who now works in a non-operational role for London's Metropolitan Police, says his experiences during his career were just "normal" for a police officer.
But he says "we don't all react and respond in the same ways".
"If my story was about anything other than mental health, if it was about being shot or stabbed I'd feel no shame at all and would feel proud of myself and people's reaction would be one of equivocation. There would be a wound I could show, but mental health doesn't show up on x-rays.
"I felt desperately ashamed early on about mental illness and some of the bloke stuff of not being strong, that I'd fallen over when colleagues were still on duty - whilst I was curled up at home unable to move."
Explicit target
This week - following the atrocity in Manchester - the terror level in the UK was raised to critical, its highest level. It means another terror attack could be "imminent".
He says that alone places an additional burden on the Met's police officers.
"It is also the realisation that every police officer is an explicit terrorist target. It's in your subconscious," he says.
"That places an enormous burden, but you won't find a single officer batting an eyelid or complaining at all. They do what they do best in these circumstances and get on with it proudly."

4000 Datasets
August 8th, 2018 by xaviergoldie
AURIN hit an important milestone today, securing access to a total of over 4000 datasets for immediate use by Australia's research and policy community through the AURIN workbench. This milestone caps off a staggering period of growth in data access and ingestion into AURIN's eResearch infrastructure (pictured below): over 2700 datasets have been added to the AURIN catalogue in the last 18 months, with almost 100 data custodians now providing access to their data to the research and policy community via AURIN. Together with a growth in users (reaching almost 11,000 at the end of July 2018), this rapid growth reflects the increasing recognition of AURIN's role as the central data and analytical resource in human settlement research
AURIN has committed to working with our data partners to make these datasets as open as possible. Of the 4000 datasets available through AURIN's workbench, 71% are available for free and open use (licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY) through the the AURIN Open API, while over 85% are available for non-commercial use through the AURIN Research API.
With our continued growth of data access and user numbers, and the strengthening of our relationships with multiple urban research and policy partners across the country, AURIN is now positioned as the central, crucial resource for evidence-based decision making and human-settlement research in Australia.

Messi chases record
4 October, 2014, 12:00 am
BARCELONA, Spain – Lionel Messi is three goals away from equalling the Spanish league's all-time scoring record, a milestone that has stood untouched for almost 60 years.
Athletic Bilbao great Telmo Zarra scored 251 goals in 271 games from 1940-55.
Since netting his first goal for Barcelona in 2005, Messi has 248 goals in league play.
Saturday's match at Rayo Vallecano will be his 284th league appearance.
"Right now, I am not thinking about the record," Messi said on Thursday. "But it will be nice to become the top scorer of one of the best leagues in the world. So many good players and scorers have played here. It will come when it is supposed to."
Already Barcelona's all-time leading scorer, Messi holds the league's single-season scoring record of 50 in 2011-12.
The 27-year-old Messi scored his 402nd goal for club and country on Wednesday in Barcelona's 3-2 loss at Paris Saint-Germain, a first defeat in eight games this season. He has 360 goals for Barcelona and 42 for Argentina, which he led to the World Cup final in July.
Messi has five goals in six rounds this season to help Barcelona top the league standings. But his passing has been just as brilliant, especially in connection with Neymar. Four of Messi's six assists in the league have gone to the Brazil striker.
