Policing Insight - Subscription at source 27/7/2021 News Mapping Demands: How to Prepare Police Officers to Cope With Pandemic-Specific Stressors Frequent and varied training of police officers is crucial to optimally prepare them for the challenges they face in their police work and allow them to cope with these demands effectively. The Horizon 2020 project “SHOTPROS” aims to develop a training program in Virtual Reality (VR) to train appropriate decision-making and acting capabilities of police officers in high-stress situations. The current COVID-19 pandemic can be considered a prime example of such a high stress situation. Therefore, the aim of the present article is to re-analyse data from a longitudinal survey among 2567 police officers across Europe, to identify pandemic-related demands experienced by the participating officers during the first COVID-19 lockdown that can be integrated and trained in (VR) scenario-based training, to better prepare police officers for the current and potentially future pandemic outbreaks. Following the constraints-led approach to training, pandemic-related demands are categorized as task, environmental, and individual constraints to provide police trainers with a toolkit how to change and manipulate training scenarios according to the trainees’ needs. Offering high control over training procedures, VR might be an effective tool to incorporate pandemic-related stressors into current training practices.
