When the police have attended, this can signal the end to a traumatic event. Because they may have brought some order to what was a chaotic event, you may just feel you need them to now forget it all so that your life can carry on.
- You may even feel that their visit was a traumatic experience in itself.
- You may be experiencing a real mixture of emotions about why they were there and wonder what they have done or intend to do.
- You may worry about how this will impact you, your family, your job and even your life.
These are all reasonable reactions, and they are not unusual. Remember that the primary purpose for police attendance is to maintain the safety of everyone involved.
