As a positive, once we were included under part II of the Canada Labour Code, there was that obligation on supervisors to report near misses and actual injury and dangerous events, so record-keeping has improved over the last number of years.
Back when I was a young constable, you'd take the lumps and you'd move on, but now there is a positive obligation by legislation: yes, okay, you take the lumps, but it's reported. In many cases you still move on, but they now create that legacy that was missing in the past.
This becomes problematic when you're dealing with operational stress injuries. If I break my arm, you can see the cast; if I have an operational stress injury, you don't necessarily see the injury, and as the recipient of the injury, I don't necessarily see it. Even if I do, because of the Type A personality, I have to deal with the stigma. Do I self-identify and deal with the stigma around that? It's a problem, and it's a huge problem with no easy solution.
When it comes to OSI, I've often said if I had an OSI injury, I'd ask them to put a cast on my arm so that people wouldn't look at me and wonder why I was off work. I would be off work because I had a cast, when really I had something else wrong with me.
