A law enforcement agency that establishes a wellness program must ensure the program complies with any requirements established by the commission and is available to each peace officer who has routinely responded to and may have been affected by a violent incident. The program at a minimum must provide:

1. (1) an initial telephone call or other form of contact from an agency representative to monitor the mental and physical well-being of a peace officer who may have been affected by a violent incident; and
2. (2) information regarding mental health resources, including counseling and therapy services, to a peace officer who is struggling to cope with the effect on the officer of responding to a violent incident.
