Mental Resilience, Trauma-Exposure and Wellbeing of Degree Apprenticeship Police Trainees in England This original, rigorous study examines mental resilience of trainee police officers in England (N=101), undertaking a new Degree Apprenticeship during employment, in the first such research using the full Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25). The quantitative online study also used mental wellbeing Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (CORE-10) and Trauma History Screen (THS-13) (amended) validated scales. The study makes a novel contribution to knowledge, finding there was no significant relationship between exposure to trauma compared to both resilience and distress levels; police trainees report lower mean resilience compared to the public, with high trauma exposure; a third reported moderate to severe distress scores, only occasionally having someone for support. Statistically significant results (p= ≤ .05) showed that single trainees had higher distress scores than those in committed relationships. Year 1 trainees had significantly higher resilience and lower distress than year 2. Longer service has a negative correlation with exposure to traumatic events. No significant differences were found between gender against all scales. There was a significant relationship between resilience and distress so that higher reported resilience meant lower reported distress. Results can be applied to Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) Transactional Theory of Stress and understood within the context of UK police occupational culture theory (Reiner, 1989). These new, important implications warrant targeted support to improve officers’ resilience and reduce distress, as well as further study.
