One key element to the successful outcome of major crises is the effective communication by police to their fellow officers, command, and other emergency personnel to contain and control the situation. Yet, there is no current academic research examining the effective communication of police during major crises. This study conducted a systematic literature review on the effective communication by emergency personnel during major crises to identify lessons learned from other disciplines in order to identify best practice strategies for preparing police for major crises. Of the 11,352 initially identified publications, 45 were assessed as relevant for ‘environment’ and ‘communication’ criteria which resulted in a final list of 15 publications. The findings highlight two important factors for effective communication in such situations; decentralized communication structures and shared mental models. However, while the importance of these two factors is understood, actually achieving these factors is difficult. These findings have implications for policy and procedures in identifying best practice for preparing officers for the effective communication during major crises.

Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 17/9/2020 Research article Not Just A Walk in the Woods? Exploring the Impact of Individual Characteristics and Changing Job Roles on Stress Among Conservation Officers Research relating to police stress has typically focused on officers working in urban areas, neglecting their rural counterparts. This is especially true of conservation officers, who are tasked with enforcing laws in state parks and other recreational areas. To date, only a handful of studies have sought to better understand their experiences and perceptions. This is problematic due to the fact that these officers face unique duty-related stressors and are increasingly tasked with performing more general law enforcement duties (e.g., drug enforcement, serving warrants). The current study seeks to further our understanding of the topic using survey data gathered from 346 conservation officers spread across six states. Specifically, it assesses whether officer characteristics (e.g., age, education, length of service) and frequency of performing traditional law enforcement duties influence perceived stress. Results of the multivariate analyses indicate that higher levels of education, longer tenures in the field, and a higher frequency of performing traditional duties all serve to increase officer stress. The implications of these finding for conservation agencies and their officers are discussed. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 17/9/2020 Research article Does Low Self-Control Contribute to Police Officers’ Procedurally Unjust Treatment of Citizens? A Unique Test of Gottfredson and Hirschi’s Generality Hypothesis Over the last decade, the American policing has endured a legitimacy crisis. During this time, many citizens – particularly citizens of color – have begun to lose trust and confidence in the police. The legitimacy crisis has underscored the importance of procedurally just policing practices, and it is largely why procedural justice was a cornerstone recommendation of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. On the other hand, procedurally unjust practices have been conceptualized as police misconduct because officers who are unfair, biased, rude, and ambiguous during police-citizen encounters are engaging in behavior that violates the law, department policy, and/or ethical codes of conduct. Accordingly, officers’ procedurally unjust behavior should be able to be explained through a general theory of crime, such as Gottfredson and Hirschi’s low self-control theory.
