jillson,
That's a toughie and a very personal decision. I would discuss with as many people as possible who already know starting with my doctor and therapist. I certainly can't tell you what to do, but I know from my own professional experience that "coming out" unfortunately still has risks, so it's definitely not something to be done lightly. I know you already know this.
It angers me so much that most mental illnesses are still so misunderstood and stigmatized. And I think it's VERY important to dispell the myths, especially for our public servants, the police! I'm glad that someone who know what they're talking about is educating them, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make if they knew just how much you know. Make sense?
I'm wishing you all the best!
Love and hugs,
Eddie
