This book was released on 1990 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of city and county police agencies with 500 or more sworn officers formed the basis of an analysis of current practices regarding the recruitment, selection, and police academy and field training of police officers in the United States; comparisons are made with approaches used in the United Kingdom. Responses came from 72 of the approximately 80 departments surveyed. Information was gathered on the population and ethnic composition of the area served, social problems, crime rates, police employment and expenditures, the characteristics of the police force, methods of recruitment, applicants and selection procedures, time devoted to training in each subject area, and the characteristics of field trainers and training programs. Results showed that police agencies in the United States have diverse organizational structures and procedures in contrast to the situation in the United Kingdom. However, societal changes and resource limitations make it crucial for police managers to establish regular communication to share knowledge, experience, and data. National organizations, university criminology departments, and other channels exist to promote this communication. A computerized database containing information from each police agency would be a useful way to promote this communication. Tables, survey instrument, and addresses of responding agencies.

Download or read book POLICE TRAUMA written by John M. Violanti and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police fight a different kind of war, and the enemy is the police officer's own civilian population: those who engage in crime, social indignity, and inhumane treatment of others. The result for the police officer is both physical and psychological battering, occasionally culminating in the officer sacrificing his or her life to protect others. This book focuses on the psychological impact of police civilian combat. During a police career, the men and women of police agencies are exposed to distressing events that go far beyond the experience of the ordinary citizen, and there is an increased need today to help police officers deal with these traumatic experiences. As police work becomes increasingly complex, this need will grow. Mental health and other professionals need to be made aware of the conditions and precipitants of trauma stress among the police. The goal of this book is to provide that important information. The book's perspective is based on the idea that trauma stress is a product of complex interaction of person, place, situation, support mechanisms, and interventions. To effectively communicate this to the reader, new conceptual and methodological considerations, essays on special groups in policing, and innovative ideas on recovery and treatment of trauma are presented. This information can be used to prevent or minimize trauma stress and to help in establishing improved support and therapeutic measures for police officers. Contributions in the book are from professionals who work with police officers, and in some cases those who are or have been police officers, to provide the reader with different perspectives. Chapters are grouped into three sections: conceptual and methodological issues, special police groups, and recovery and treatment. The book concludes with a discussion of issues and identifies future directions for conceptualization, assessment, intervention, and effective treatment of psychological trauma in policing.
