Police Oracle - Subscription at source 25/5/2022 News Evaluation of Physical Health, Mental Wellbeing, and Injury in A UK Police Firearms Unit The aim was to examine the health and wellbeing of UK police firearms officers and to identify the incidence and severity of work-related injuries. Data from 96 officers were derived from an online self-report survey. General health indicators, physical activity levels, WHO-5 wellbeing score, and injury data from the previous 12-months were collected. Thirty work-related injuries (31%) occurred with an injury rate of 31 injuries per 100 FTE worked within the firearms unit in the previous year. Fifty per cent of officers took no time off for recovery. Twenty-nine per cent of injuries were classified as severe and the mechanisms of more severe injuries were linked to occupational demands. Officers who exercised ≥four times per week reported significantly less injuries, while low physical activity levels were associated with significantly lower wellbeing. UK police firearms officers are at a high risk of occupational injury, and physical activity can play an important role in reducing injury and improving wellbeing. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 25/5/2022 Research article ‘Guilty as charged’: top UK officer urges police chiefs to admit institutional racism Met’s Neil Basu says ‘positive discrimination’ should be used to increase minority ethnic representation in ranks The Guardian 25/5/2022 News Meaning of Work, Perceived Recognition and Social Support in PTSD Among Police Officers Stress can be understood as an imbalance between demands and resources (Hobfoll in Am Psychol 44:513–524, 1989). Among police officers, demands, which are widely documented in the literature, are thought to be numerous, as are post-traumatic stress disorders, whereas their resources are more rarely explored. Generally speaking, social support correlates with low level PTSD disorders and is a well-known moderator between exposure to traumatic events and subsequent disorders. Nevertheless, this moderating effect has been little studied in police officers and studies often fail to focus on strictly professional support and events. The aim of our study is therefore to verify the moderating role of professional social support between traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorders in municipal police officers (N = 1312, of whom 739 described a traumatic event to which they had been exposed, on average 3.5 years previously). Similarly, we have successfully explored the predictive and moderating role of the meaning of work, known to be a key resource in this profession, and that of perceived recognition at work, both identified as predictors of psychological well-being at work. These results are discussed in terms of the preservation of resources and the value of supporting the meaning and recognition of work and social support.

The focus is on understanding the factors which contribute to, or undermine, body-worn camera integration and acceptance. Including patrol officers directly in the implementation and policy-making processes might help increase officer acceptance of body-worn cameras (BWCs), and the identification of potential implementation problems (especially around BWC activation, civilian notification, and minor violations of department policies). Moreover, police departments may need to anticipate resistance from features of the traditional police culture toward certain BWC uses and consider how these might be overcome. One suggestion is to conduct regular reviews of BWC footage with officers as a learning tool to help guide discretion on BWC use (especially around recording protocols), to help reframe BWCs as an innovative technology for improving street-level performance, and to provide routine reminders to officers of the importance of BWC activation and civilian notification for achieving their potential benefits.
