HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 27/6/2019 News Using Interval-Level Metrics to Investigate Situational-, Suspect-, and Officer-Level Predictors of Police Performance During Encounters With the Public The issue of how to measure the impact of situational-, suspect-, and officer-level factors on police actions has long been debated in the policing literature. One promising method is to use interval-level metrics developed via a combined method of concept mapping and Thurstone scaling. Our objective here was to use these metrics to score 667 incident reports from a large (n ∼ 1,500) urban police department. From this process, we explored significant trends in how police officers perform during encounters with the public. We found that officers performed better in “higher stakes” encounters and excelled in vigilance situational assessment as well as use of tactics and adapting tactics. Officers tended to receive the worst scores in routine police–citizen interactions and the highest in crisis encounters. Interpretation and implications of these findings for American policing are discussed.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 27/6/2019 News Mindful Nonreactivity Moderates the Relationship Between Chronic Stress and Pain Interference in Law Enforcement Officers With high levels of both chronic stress and chronic pain, law enforcement provides a unique population in which to study the potential mitigating impact of cognitive and affective reactivity on the stress–pain link. The primary aim of the present study was to examine the moderating role of mindful nonreactivity in the relationship between chronic stress and pain interference in law enforcement officers (n = 60). A regression analysis was conducted to determine if chronic stress predicted pain interference and, subsequently, to compute an estimate of the interaction effect of the chronic stress and mindful nonreactivity on pain interference. Results demonstrated the overall model was significant, F (3,55) = 5.29, p = .003, R2 = .47. When controlling for mindful nonreactivity, chronic stress significantly predicted pain interference, b = .76, t (55) = 3.40, p = .001, such that every one unit increase in chronic stress was associated with a .76 unit increase in pain interference. Results also demonstrated a significant interaction effect of mindful nonreactivity and chronic stress on pain interference, b = − .04, t (55) = − 2.86, p = .006.
