"Conflict of interest: GHR is a part-time employee of ADF, as the Medical Director for the Utah Meth Cops Project. Within the last three years, GHR provided expert medical witness services for the Law Offices of Laurie L. York (Austin, TX, USA), for Dunn and Dunn (legal firm, Salt Lake City, UT, USA) and for Jacobson Law Firm (Tucson, AZ, USA). Marie Cecchini Sternquist has no financial relationship with ADF or the Utah MethCops Project. The authors declare no other actual or potential competing financial interest."

"Funding: This Utah MethCops Project involved two components: (1) provision of treatment for chronically ill police officers, and (2) the gathering and compilation of data for potential publication. The treatment project was supported by a grant to the nonprofit ADF from the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice; two grants to ADF from the Utah Legislative Assembly through the Office of the Utah Attorney General; a grant to ADF from the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services ([COPS] 2010CKWX0459). The data gathering, analysis, and report compilation was performed on a volunteer basis."
