Named in honour of Alan Forcer, a veteran who tragically took his own life, the protocol was created to ensure that no one who has served our country is left without rapid, compassionate intervention during moments of acute mental distress.

WHO IS BEHIND IT
The Forcer Protocol was founded by Claire Lilly, Alan’s former wife, along with their son Josh Forcer, in collaboration with serving officers, police leadership and veteran organisations across the UK, and officially endorsed in Parliament on Armed Forces Day, 2025: Their tireless work has turned a personal tragedy into a national system of prevention and hope.

Together we have campaigned for change and built a multi award-winning, unified network of emergency responders and support services dedicated to never letting a veteran or service person fall through the cracks again.

The Forcer Protocol is a life-saving preventative measure for UK veterans and serving personnel, including reservists. Pre-share vital details, including health conditions, triggers and safe places, and if you’re ever reported missing, this can help speed up the search and help you access the right support. Born from lived experience and built with UK forces and veterans in mind, the Forcer Protocol is rolling out nationwide.

Briefings and frontline training  delivered to ensure officers and the wider community know the protocol and can act swiftly.
