Policing Insight - Subscription at source 19/9/2023 Feature, Opinion Law Enforcement and Mental Health: The Limpid Kryptonite—A Clear and Present Danger The job of a police officer is extremely stressful and members of the law enforcement community exhibit disproportionately higher incidents of depression, PTSD, suicide ideation, and other mental health issues. Unfortunately, these mental health concerns are becoming increasingly grave as negative interactions with the public are more highly publicized than ever before. The present study evaluated the relationship between officers’ regard for their role as a member of law enforcement, years of experience, and awareness of the media, with stress level and PTSD symptoms. Most notable among the findings were that officers with a higher regard for their role as law enforcement, and those with more media awareness, reported higher stress levels and other maladaptive behaviors that negatively impacted their mental health. The current study contributes to the extant literature by exploring the intersectionality between officers’ stress levels, years of experience, PTSD symptomology, perceived identity, and media awareness. The widespread use of social media to publicize the actions of a small minority of law enforcement officers is among the many elements discovered and discussed in the current research. Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology 19/9/2023 Research article Exploring the Intersection of Mindfulness, Race-Related Threat Perception Failure, and the Use of Deadly Force The aim of this study was to explore the impact of mindfulness, race, and the decision to use deadly force in a law enforcement shooting simulation. A sample of 41 college students completed a mindfulness measure and then assumed the role of a police officer in a deadly force–related training scenario. Participants armed with a simulated firearm were directed to assess and respond as a law enforcement official to a male suspect (Black or White) holding an object (cell phone or weapon) within a short time frame. There was no significant difference in the number of unarmed Black and White targets that were shot; however, armed Black targets were shot significantly more than armed White targets. Notably, all participants fired on the armed Black targets. Mindfulness was associated with reduced likelihood of shooting unarmed targets. Participants who shot the unarmed Black target displayed significantly lower mindfulness than those who shot the unarmed White target or those that did not shoot at all. Mindfulness did not vary across groups when the target was armed. Mindfulness was associated with improved decision making in simulated deadly force-related scenarios.
