Weekly? Bi-weekly? Mandatory after stressful events?
One thing that would limit it would be the cost. Psych evals for that many officers that often would be a huge huge cost.
Well, my thought was that a Sargent could be trained to make such daily evaluations.
Cops are extremely observant and it wouldn't take much training to qualify them to recognize some issues.
My second thought was that there be a list of high stress infractions that could trigger a professional evaluation.
I know they have help available, if they ask for it, but they don't want that stuff on their record to make them look like they have mental issues.
If evals became mandatory and the norm, there might not be the stigma of one being weak.
