BBC 14/9/2022 News The Queen’s funeral: UK police forces given national guidance on ‘ability to protest’ at public events Civil rights group Liberty criticises police actions against anti-monarchists across the UK i News 14/9/2022 News Police-Specific physical performance of men and women with different body heights Worldwide different criteria are used for dealing with body height as an access restriction for the police service, but none of the defined minimum heights is supported by scientific research. Therefore, the objectives of the present work were to analyse tall and short men and women on their police-specific physical performance and their interaction with police-related personal protective equipment (PPE) in police-specific situations. For this purpose, the entire work was divided into four sub-studies, which included both laboratory and field tests. Wearing PPE significantly (p < 0.05) reduced vertical jump performance independently of body height. Resilience to external forces (impacts) and pulling force in different grip heights were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced for shorter subjects. Short subjects needed significantly (p < 0.05) more time for rescuing and recovering a person from a car than tall subjects. These results provide evidence that taller subjects perform superior in police-specific scenarios. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles - Subscription at source 14/9/2022 Research article Profiles of Vulnerability to Alcohol Use and Mental Health Concerns in First Responders First responders’ specific vulnerability to hazardous alcohol use is related to increased risk for psychological difficulties, frequent exposure to critical and organizational stressors, and potentially maladaptive coping strategies. The current research sought to (1) identify profiles of vulnerability to alcohol use in first responders based on relevant risk factors identified (i.e., mental health indicators, coping strategies), and (2) compare how the emerging profiles vary across their experience of occupational stress. Participants included 282 first responders (77.4% male; Mage = 42.4, SD = 10.4; 77% police officers) who completed measures of mental health, cognitive-emotional coping strategies, occupational stress, and alcohol use. Latent Profile analysis yielded three distinct profiles: Clinical Nonspecific (n = 119), Anger Specific (n = 88); and Trauma Impacted (n = 64). Clusters differed significantly on mental health variables, coping strategies and alcohol use, and meaningfully varied in their experience of occupational stressors. Although there is value in organization-wide prevention and psychological health initiatives, the heterogeneity in the identified profiles highlights the need for targeted prevention and interventions within first responder organizations.
