Not just actual threats, but those that are perceived or merely expected. Ideally, when this process is engaged, the nervous system is activated and we benefit from heightened senses, faster decision-making, improved mental function, and increased strength. But when this acute stress response is “maladaptive” or prolonged, our health can suffer over the long term. And in the short term, under extreme stress—attention, perception, decision-making, and even physical performance can be severely impaired. For those committed to public safety, learning to recognize, manage, and operate under extreme stress is critical. For the police, that process begins by understanding when and how they experience stress.

A quasi-experimental approach was used to examine the initial implementation of body-worn cameras (BWCs) in one district. This provided the opportunity for a natural experiment comparing officers in the district that deployed cameras with officers in three similar districts where no BWCs were deployed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match BWC officers with non-BWC officers. BWC officers had about 38.3% fewer use of force incidents than non-BWC officers with similar numbers of use of force incidents in the previous year. On average, BWC officers made 46.4% fewer pedestrian stops and 39.2% fewer arrests than non-BWC officers. Vehicle stops and citizen complaints had nonsignificant declines for BWC officers.

In accord with best practice anti-discrimination interventions, three service user-led and interpersonal contact/education-based e-Learning modules were developed and delivered to police staff to counter discrimination and effect behaviour change. A formative evaluation of the e-Learning was undertaken using semi-structured interviews with 24 police staff who had completed the e-Learning modules within the previous 6–12 months. A number of themes emerged from the data that suggest the e-Learning could be used to develop enhanced intrapersonal attitudes and behaviours in relation to people experiencing mental distress, and to encourage increases in the well-being of police themselves. However, the data also suggested a number of barriers to implementing the e-Learning in order to effect changes in facilitating a police response. These barriers include widespread issues of limited resourcing and difficulties with inter-agency working. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 7/11/2019 Research article Examining the Effects of Neighborhood Contextual Factors on Officer-Involved Shootings This paper contributes to research on neighborhood effects and knowledge about the conditions associated with community-level patterns of police behavior by examining whether levels of violence, racial and ethnic composition, and socioeconomic disadvantage are associated with officer-involved shootings in Houston, TX. In addition, drawing from the ecological theory of policing, this study explores whether spatial heterogeneity exists in the observed relationships. Poisson regression models reveal that community violence and neighborhood racial and ethnic context are meaningful indicators of on-duty officer-involved shootings. Socioeconomic disadvantage did not emerge as a significant variable in the models estimated. Results from Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression (GWPR) models indicate statistically significant spatial variation in the effects for all the key community factors. The findings highlight the importance of local context for developing a greater understanding of police violence across the urban landscape.
