[pdf] Policing Authority (Republic of Ireland) 15/12/2021 Report Understanding the Role of Uncertainty and Anxiety in Police Decision‐making During the Investigation of Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Children Existing policing policy offers a rational approach to decision-making with minimal reference to human judgement within child death investigations. This study adopted a mixed methodology to capture decisional processes of 26 serving detective inspectors and detective sergeants whilst responding to an immersive scenario which simulated the first hours of a Sudden and Unexpected Death in Children (SUDC) investigation. Participants were presented with four decision points, during which they were asked to choose from decision options while reflecting upon personal and situational factors influencing that decision. Thematic analysis of responses found that investigators disclosed ‘anxiety’ and ‘uncertainty’ throughout their decision-making during the scenario. In addition, there was no evidence of investigators utilising the models formally advocated within policing literature to make their decisions and assessments. As a result, it is suggested that further improvements are made regarding investigative decision-making models within operational policing where ‘anxiety’ and ‘uncertainty’ is heightened. Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling - Registration at source 15/12/2021 Research article Peeling the paradigm: Exploring the professionalization of policing in Canada CANADA: Maintaining public trust, legitimacy, and credibility in a constantly evolving society has proven challenging for police in the 21st century. Rising public concerns regarding police accountability are driving the need to advance the paradigm of policing by reassessing the organizational structure of law enforcement in Canada. Supported by research identifying primary directives for maintaining public trust, this proposal argues that the time has come for policing to evolve from an occupation into a formal profession. Just as any other occupation that has advanced into a profession, provincial regulatory colleges of policing should be formed with the key objective of protecting the public from malpractice and malfeasance. A provincial college of policing would allow for (a) sustained and inclusive recruitment strategies, (b) foundational knowledge of the scholarship of policing, (c) evidence-based academy training, (d) mandatory ongoing (in-service) police education, and (e) expert, objective, community-focused, independent oversight. This proposal uses characteristics of the College of Policing in England and Wales as a guiding framework for the support and preparation of professionalizing policing in Canada.

Police officers’ work environment is continually changing, with new risks emerging quickly and unpredictably – increasing officer stress and anxiety in the process. The recent emergence of the synthetic opioid fentanyl as an illicit recreational drug has introduced into police work new, potentially life-threatening, but also somewhat ambiguous risks. Police organizations have modified their policies and practices to manage the dangers posed by these potent opioids. Questions remain, however, about how front-line officers themselves perceive these new dangers and if they are altering police practice as a result. Based on interviews and survey data with two major police departments in Canada which are at the epicenter of Canada’s overdose crisis, our study empirically examines how police officers perceive the risks of fentanyl and how they might be altering their work practices due to their beliefs about the risks associated with handling and processing fentanyl and interacting with people who sell and consume these drugs.
