As a retired soldier dedicating every day to prevent veteran suicides, I stress the importance of the Forcer Protocol, which could mean the difference between life and death for many. This critical tool aids in locating veterans quickly, potentially staving off a tragedy. Unfortunately, not all police departments in the UK apply this practice.

ONS published a report on veterans suicide in 2021 that stated over 4 veterans died every week.  This shocking statistic only underscores the urgent need to institutionalize the Forcer Protocol, to protect our heroes who have given their all to protect us. Mandatory adoption of this protocol can help close the gap in mental health services and save lives. 

This isn't just about legislation. It's about people. It's about our veterans who may be on the edge. It's about taking proactive steps and lending support instead of being reactive to devastating news. With your help, we can press our lawmakers to prioritize the health of our courageous servicemen and servicewomen. Please, join us in calling for the nationalisation of the Forcer Protocol. Every signature brings us a step closer to saving a life and honoring the service of our veterans. Sign the petition today.
