Police Oracle - Subscription at source 24/1/2025 News Balancing duty and family: the effects of support systems on women in law enforcement Childcare resources and parental support remain a concern for many women police officers, who oftentimes become disparately impacted in the workplace due to their identity as a parent. Unpacking how resources and support might directly and indirectly impact commitment to the organization therefore becomes quite important, particularly in light of the retention crisis being faced by agencies across the country. This mixed-methods study employs: (1) ordinary least squares regression and structural equation modeling, in addition to (2) inductive content analysis in order to explore the relationship between organizational commitment, parental support, and social support. Results indicate that parental support and social support have significant positive direct and indirect effects on organizational commitment. Qualitative findings further contextualize that challenges related to scheduling and promotion, breastfeeding, and differential expectations between mothers and fathers are prominent. Potential avenues for improvement in these areas are explored. Police Practice and Research 24/1/2025 Research article Police recruits’ perceptions of the utility of viewing body-worn camera footage following use-of-force incidents Widespread police use of body-worn cameras (BWCs) worldwide means that many use-of-force incidents are likely to be captured on camera. Despite much exploration of the effects of BWCs on policing, both policy makers and researchers debate whether officers involved in such incidents should be permitted to review their BWC footage before providing their account of the incident. We sought to address this question through officers' first-hand perspectives. Specifically, 112 police recruits engaged in a realistic lethal force training scenario, reviewed their BWC footage, and were then asked about their experiences watching that footage and their perspective on BWC review. Qualitative analysis revealed strong support for the utility of BWC footage. The participants perceived the footage both as a veridical record of what happened and superior to their own memory. While some participants noted discrepancies between the footage and their memory, its benefits were largely articulated as adding to or refining memory. Whether officers should view footage to aid reporting likely depends on the objective. If the goal is to document a comprehensive account of the events, then the recruits’ perspectives suggest that reviewing the footage will likely provide a more detailed account than memory alone. However, if the intention is to assess the officers’ recollection and cognitive processing of the incident, then the findings suggest that watching BWC footage could lead to contamination or modification of accounts to align with the video. The recruits’ perspectives provide insight into why various memory effects may occur, and considerations for policy.
