Policing Insight 13/5/2025 Analysis, Feature, Opinion Law enforcement personnel: systematic review of the impact of prevention programs following exposure to work-related trauma Law enforcement personnel are often exposed to critical incidents and are at risk of post-traumatic psychopathologies. The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesize and evaluate recent empirical research about primary and secondary prevention strategies designed to reduce the risk of law enforcement officers developing post-traumatic disorders. The study used a systematic review approach guided by the Institute of Medicine’s Standards for Systematic Reviews and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. In total, 13 articles were deemed relevant to the question of evidence for prevention programs intended to reduce the development of post-traumatic psychopathologies in law enforcement officers. Our review found these indicated a lack of evidence for the efficacy of prevention programs. Seven of the articles included in this review focused on Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD), providing no evidence to support CISD as a secondary prevention strategy for law enforcement officers. The remaining six studies focused on diverse prevention approaches including resilience training, imagery and psychosocial support, with limited evidence available. Interestingly, despite a plethora of literature in this area, our review indicates a lack of high-quality studies investigating effective prevention approaches for law enforcement personnel. Given the potentially significant impact of post-traumatic stress disorder and other conditions associated with work-related trauma for law enforcement organizations, there is a clear need to undertake high-quality research into preventative measures in this area.

Police Professional 13/5/2025 Feature, Innovation Understanding police capacity issues in sex offence investigations, and considering a team approach as a solution to (some of) these challenges Only a small proportion of reported incidents of rape and serious sex offences (RASSO) are fully investigated and prosecuted in England and Wales. Part of the problem is the lack of effective police capacity for the completion of effective investigations. The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges of meeting this demand and explore whether a team-based solution can address some of the issues. The research used multiple data sets collected during Operation Soteria Bluestone to establish the capacity challenges in RASSO investigations, including case review analysis, ethnographic observations, review of body-worn video footage and victim interviews, and interviews and focus groups with police officers, independent sexual violence advisers, and support practitioners. The findings show that policing’s inability to cope with fluctuations in demand contributes to the lack of completion of investigations. Capacity issues result in the lack of completion of basic investigative actions, the lack of appropriate and satisfactory levels of communication with victims and negative effects on officers, including being detrimental to their well-being. This paper explores how a team approach to investigating RASSO could create resilience and better continuity, especially in relation to victim support. However, there also needs to be sufficient effective capacity in the policing system to meet demand, which can be seen to fluctuate widely over the medium term. The work identifies two key decisions for police forces. Firstly, it is essential that the resources provided generate the effective capacity that is capable of meeting demand over time. Secondly, a team-based approach, if adopted, could increase the resilience in the system and improve support for victims. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that demonstrates the psychological and operational challenges related to capacity within RASSO policing and the potential impact of teamwork on RASSO investigations.
