CBC News (Canada) 28/10/2025 News Navigating a jeopardising career on the thin blue line of ability vs disability: Neurodivergent police experiences at work Some populations experience inequalities, including issues of gaining and retaining employment. One group impacted are neurodivergent individuals. This is pertinent in careers that carry higher demands, like policing. We interviewed 37 neurodivergent police officers and staff about their careers. Analysis created five themes: (1) self-identity, relating to how they saw themselves in terms of their autism or ADHD; (2) revealing their condition, with reflections on telling others; (3) advantages for policing, referring to how their characteristics were of benefit to the organisation; (4) challenges in the workplace, considering how they encountered some difficulties because of their neurodivergent characteristics; and (5) reasonable adjustments, in relation to some of the benefits and difficulties in mobilising resources to support them. We identified areas where police organisations could change their approach and culture to optimise neurodivergent strengths and capitalise on benefits to the organisation. We conclude with several recommendations for policing practice. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles 28/10/2025 Research article Drug decriminalization and policy alienation among frontline police in British Columbia: A qualitative study Research Summary: This qualitative study examines how frontline police officers in British Columbia experienced and adapted to Canada's first formal drug decriminalization policy 1 year after implementation. Drawing on 30 semi-structured interviews and using thematic analysis with a policy alienation and street-level bureaucracy lens, we analyzed how officers felt alienated from the policy process and coped with this experience as frontline implementers. Key themes show that frontline officers experienced processes of policy alienation in various ways: they felt that the policy was misaligned with their frontline perspectives; the Policy undermined their ability to help people in their communities; and legal ambiguity surrounding the Policy was challenging to navigate. Their coping strategies revealed that officers interpreted and executed decriminalization in divergent ways. Policy Implications: These findings have important implications for policymakers and police leadership considering drug policy reforms. Officers’ feelings of disempowerment and policy meaninglessness, especially in contexts of legal ambiguity, may lead to inconsistent or inequitable enforcement. Strengthening communication across police ranks is critical. Middle managers may help translate reform goals, identify resource gaps, and support effective coping strategies. Legal clarity should extend beyond policy updates to help officers reconcile overlapping laws and reduce liability concerns. While there are limits to policy consultation with frontline officers within the hierarchical structure of police institutions, reform efforts should still engage with frontline officers’ working logics. Training should address harmful attitudes and misunderstandings of drug use, clarify legal boundaries, and mitigate unintended harms of enforcement. Ultimately, effective drug policy reform in a multi-jurisdictional system requires acknowledging how frontline officers interpret and shape policy within institutional constraints.
