Opis: This study aimed to investigate the state of mental health and help- seeking behaviour in a sample of Slovenian police officers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, we examined the variables that influence the likelihood of seeking help within the police, the relationship between measured variables and created a model explaining these relationships. Data were collected from a conve- nience sample of 279 police officers, representing 3.87% of the Slovenian police population. Depression was measured with the Male Depression Risk Scale. We found that 20.43% of police officers had a high or very high occurrence of depressive symptoms, with no significant difference in prevalence between male and female officers. We also found that 21.15% of police officers sought help within the organisation. Our findings highlight the need to inte- grate mental health screening into routine check-ups, establish effective referral systems, and implement stigma-reduction inter- ventions to better support officers.
