Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Good policing is not impossible. The reactions that have been associated with stressors are not inevitable. Many officers retire in good physical and emotional health and 100 back on their careers with pleasure. In a situation where stressers have led to maladaptive behavior on the part of individuals or organizations, change is called for. Change must be constant, as social conditions in the world around us vary. The police represent a force for the order necessary for society to function. It is not an easy job, but it is one that is worth doing well."

Download or read book Stress and Police Personnel written by Leonard Territo and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of articles on job-related stress in policing addresses the complexities of the stress syndrome among police officers and advocates the incorporation of a stress intervention and management component into police officer training programs. The volume is designed for practical use by police officers and administrators. Articles are arranged in topical sections and begin with an orientation and introduction to the general subject, providing terminology and background to some of the principle psychological, physiological, and social consequences of stress. Job stress and some of its more destructive manifestations in police officers, such as alcoholism, divorce, other family problems, and suicide are examined. In addition, specific and unique stress experienced by women and minorities in law enforcement is also discussed. Recommendations are given concerning the most effective ways that both the officer and the law enforcement agency can deal with these problems. Articles on stress and the police administrator concern factors in the managerial task and function that contribute to stress. Among them are upward mobility with accompanying loss of supportive relationships among colleagues, family, and friends; the risks of decisionmaking with consequences affecting the lives of many people; and political pressures in balancing resources against goals and objectives. Under the topic of stress and the family, articles look at the toll exacted on wives, children and relatives of police personnel by the stressful aspects of police work, of which the high divorce rate is but the most visible consequence. The concluding section presents organizational and individual programs for coping with stress, illustrated by stress control and counseling programs available to officers, administrators, and families in the police departments of Miami, Dallas, and Chicago. A retirement counseling program for police officers is also discussed because of the unique nature of police retirement, which occurs early and isolates former officers from agency friends and informal peer groups that have served as a source of personal support. Tabular data and endnotes accompany individual articles. The appendix contains a listing of police stress training films. An index is also supplied.

Download or read book Stress and Decision Making written by U. S. Department U.S. Department of Homeland Security and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following a two year decline, law enforcement fatalities in 2010 spiked to 162. This was an increase of nearly 40 percent compared to the previous year when 117 officers were killed in the line of duty" (NLEOMF, 2011). Law enforcement officers/agents routinely encounter situations that require them to make decisions with limited information under rapidly changing conditions. Many of these situations expose officers to inordinate risks, and under certain circumstances, require the use of lethal or non-lethal weapons for defensive or preemptive purposes. FBI research (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1997) indicates that many assaults on law enforcement personnel were the result of the officer missing or misinterpreting pre-assault indicators. Interviews with offenders convicted of assaulting officers revealed that the victim officers did not present a strong command presence and that the officers did not perceive their assailants as a threat (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2006). As a training institution, it is our responsibility to provide students with proven instruction and techniques that will enable them to serve their agencies effectively. This paper presents the results of a scenario-based research study that evaluated the application of recently learned law enforcement tactics in novel situations. Four different scenarios were created to challenge student thinking and actions in order to monitor training effectiveness. This paper includes literature related to the research, newly created or existing assessment tools used to measure student responses, and suggested actions for improvement of future training. Although the term "performance" is used throughout this report, it is the decision making process of the students that dictates what actions will take place. Whether in training or the real world, mental preparation and situation awareness are essential qualities all officers must possess in order to respond effectively. shooting

Download or read book Police Selection and Training written by J.C. Yuille and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Police Officer During the past twenty years the tasks required of police officers have expanded and changed with dramatic rapidi ty. The tradi tional roles of the police had been those of law enforcement and the maintenance of public order. As a consequence police officers were typically large-bodied males, selected for their physical abilities and trained to accept orders and enforce the law. Over the past two decades, however, the industrialized nations have placed a variety of new demands on police officers. To traditional law enforcement and public order tasks have been added social work, mental health duties, and cORllluni ty relations work. For example, domestic disputes, violence between husbands and wives, lovers, relatives, etc. , have increased in frequency and severity (or at least there has been a dramatic increase in reporting the occurence of domestic violence). Our societies have no formal system to deal with domestic disputes and the responsibility to do so, in most countries, has fallen to the police. In fact, in some areas as many as 607. of calls for service to the police are related to domestic disputes (see the chapter in this text by Dutton). As a result the police officer has had to become a skilled social worker, able to intervene with sensi ti vi ty in domestic situations. Alternatively, in the case of West Germany, the officer has had to learn to work co-operatively with social workers (see the chapter by Steinhilper).
Download or read book Andragogical Instruction for Effective Police Training written by Robert F. Vodde and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details a 2-year study that examined and compared the efficacy of an andragogical instructional methodology to that of a traditional, prescriptive, pedagogical, and militaristic format of basic police training. The study not only revealed that an andragogical approach yielded greater outcomes in terms of skills and competencies, but was preferred among recruits, in great part due to the emphasis placed on experiential learning and a collegiate and collaborative approach to learning. In his research, Robert F. Vodde identified six thematic, categorical constructs by which basic police training programs can be organized and administered, to include the importance for not only working within a quasi-military hierarchal organizational structure, but in preparing recruits for the emotional and physical challenges associated with police work. When properly administered, an andragogical approach represents a well-planned and skillfully orchestrated process that holistically integrates all aspects of the curriculum; one that capitalizes on the use of multi-sensory, experiential, hands-on learning activities that allow recruits to apply what they have learned. Considering the short and long-term impacts of basic police training, Vodde illuminates in this book that "an andragogical instructional methodology serves as a pragmatic, effective, and responsive approach to training"; it is one that creates a physical and psychological climate that takes into consideration the affective needs of the recruit, thus providing for a healthy, engaging, challenging, and collaborative atmosphere in which future police officers "develop a clear understanding and perspective of their role within the greater context of society."

Download or read book Rise of the Warrior Cop written by Radley Balko and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking history of how American police forces have been militarized is now revised and updated. Newly added material brings the story through 2020, including analysis of the Ferguson protests, the Obama and Trump administrations, and the George Floyd protests. The last days of colonialism taught America’s revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But over the last two centuries, America’s cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as enemies. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians’ ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative that spans from America’s earliest days through today shows how a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.
Download or read book Police Firefighter and Paramedic Stress written by John J. Miletich and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1990-01-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public safety professionals work together in life-and-death situations. During natural or transportation disasters, industrial accidents, shootings, suicides or dozens of other instances, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are called upon to assist both injured and uninjured people. Although often romanticized in television series and in films, the real-life tasks of public safety professionals are usually unpleasant--restraining violent individuals and removing accident, homicide, and suicide victims from death scenes--and always highly stressful. They are frequently subjected to additional stress when their efforts are criticized by family members of the injured or deceased. Although stress can be harmful, even fatal, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics can have more productive and satisfying lives when they learn to positively control stress, rather than be controlled by it. This English language bibliography consisting of more than 700 references, covering the time period 1945 to early 1989, can help these and other professionals manage stress more effectively. Source publications, all of which are annotated, include books, articles, conference proceedings, theses, government publications, and dissertations. The bibliography section is composed of six chapters addressing psychological and physiological factors, the family, substance abuse, accidents, and suicide, with references arranged alphabetically by author surname. A list of acronyms and author and subject indexes complete the work. Of paramount importance to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics as well as their families, this bibliography will provide legislators, physicians, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists with extensive and substantial documentation on the stress-filled work lives of these public safety professionals.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the issue of police training techniques and the perceived anitquated ideology within the profession of law enforcement. This ideology which endorsed the masculine image of physical and psychological toughness and the suppression of natural human emotions despite its considerable impact on an individual's psyche and the perceptions of weakness associated with someone in policing who may succumb to the detrimental consequences of cumulative stress. This study attempted to determine if the current construct of basic recruit training, as well as supplemental departmental in-service instruction, within the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island focus their attention and resources toward the crime fighting and physical fitness component of policing at the expense of adequate attention being placed upon the predominant community service obligations, thus insufficiently preparing an individual to assume the duties of a police officer in comtemporary society. A questionnaire was designed by the researcher based upon a Likert scale which was made available only to the uniform patrol officers, excluding supervisors, from qualifying municipal departments within the three participating states provided they attended the same academy. The data revealed an influence of the informal social norms of a police organization and a willingness to conform on the part of an individual in order to gain acceptance. The data also revealed that regardless of the construct of the training academies within the three participating states the focus and attention is predominately on the crime fighting aspects of policing, which is perceived by the officers participating in this study to have not properly prepared them to assume the duties of a police officer. Overall officers' recognnized cumulative stress as real, but it is not adequately anticipated in the training academies nor adequately addressed later on by in-service programs of the informal police sub-culture."-Abstract.
