Stress Mgmt Law Enforcement

Catalog description

This course will examine all aspects of police stress and be of considerable value to three different groups of students: first, those who are police administrators and must deal with the negative effects of stress on their officers; second, police officers who work on the streets and are regularly exposed to violence, cruelty and aggression and; third, students who are considering careers in law enforcement. Specific recommendations will be set forth on how to identify the early signs of stress and what police departments can do to effectively intervene and treat officers who experience high levels of stress, especially post-traumatic stress disorder.
