The Guardian 27/7/2021 News Experience Is Not Enough: Self-Identified Training Needs of Police Working With Adolescents Police receive extensive training due to the complexity and challenges of their work. Surprisingly, most police officers receive minimal training on how to understand and interact with adolescents. The current study included data from 1,030 law enforcement officers from 24 police departments evaluating perceived readiness to interact and work with adolescents in the community. We examined overall training needs, and then tested how experience in law enforcement and position or rank impacted self-identified training needs. Rank was associated with police officer perceptions of adolescents and related training needs. Compared with patrol officers, school resource officers indicated that they believed they had the skills needed to effectively work with adolescents [P = 0.001, odds ration (OR) = 2.5]. Beat or area patrol officers were significantly less likely than school resource officers to report feeling equipped to work with adolescents who have experienced trauma compared with new recruits (P < 0.001, OR = 0.3) and other non-patrol police officers (P = 0.001, OR = 0.6). Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 27/7/2021 Research article Organizational Culture, Stress, and Coping Strategies in the Police: An Empirical Investigation This paper investigates the relationships between organizational culture, stress, and coping strategies in police organizations. In an online survey, 152 German police officers described their workgroups in terms of stressors (e.g. overtime demands, traumatic events), coping strategies (e.g. exercising, drinking alcohol), and shared values (e.g. masculinity, solidarity). Multiple regression models were tested to examine a) the effect of stress on police culture and b) the effect of stress and police culture on coping. Conservative-male culture is stronger in workgroups with high operational stress. Predictors of maladaptive coping are organizational stress and conservative-male culture. Diligence culture is negatively associated with maladaptive coping. Overall, the study indicates that police culture depends on the composition and stress level of a workgroup and influences the way officers cope with stress. The main limitation of the study is the unclear direction of causality. However, our findings have important implications for leadership and psychological intervention within the police.
