Research has identified various coping styles without a consensus as to which styles are most beneficial. The objective of this study was to examine US law enforcement officers’ coping styles and to determine if a particular coping style was equated with the best health outcomes. In a national representative sample of 1517 law enforcement officers, latent class analysis was applied to determine heterogeneity of coping styles. Subsequent classes were modeled as predictors of both behavioral and mental health challenges and constructive health behaviors. Results indicate that coping styles predict officers’ perceived stress, anxiety and depression, suicidality, alcohol abuse, and diet. Specifically, a task-oriented, problem-focused coping style was most effective. These findings highlight the importance of training officers to manage adversity with the most effective coping strategies.
