Kilkenny People (Republic of Ireland) 6/1/2025 News The Hidden Cost: Mental Health Absences in Policing The source article highlights the increasing trend of psychological illnesses and stress-related absences of officers in frontline and ‘Response’ roles in England and Wales. Figures recorded between 2019 and 2023 indicate that absences related to psychological illness were rising at rates at least double those of other sickness absences. Officers are facing significant challenges due to work-related stress, trauma, and psychological strain, which may be attributed to an increase in demand and a decrease in resourcing. The findings emphasize the need for better mental health support, targeted interventions, and the development of policies aimed at mitigating workplace stress and its impacts on police officers’ wellbeing Applied Police Briefings (Canada) 6/1/2025 Feature Developing a Competency Framework for Police Incident Commanders The competency framework developed from this study involves seven thematic categories with distinct and interrelated concepts essential for effective police incident command. The selection and training of Incident Commanders (ICs) should consider both technical skills and also traits such as humility, emotional stability, and approachability, which are challenging to teach but vital for leadership and teamwork. To that end, traditional police training or years of experience are insufficient for the specific demands of incident command. Scenario-based training is necessary to prepare ICs for situations they manage in this role. Understanding how stress affects decision-making and providing stress management training can help improve the performance and well-being of ICs during incidents. Applied Police Briefings (Canada) 6/1/2025 Feature Deterrent and Motivating Considerations for Entry into the Jamaica Constabulary Force Over the years, motivation for entry into policing has declined due to internal (methods of recruitment) as well as external factors (public perceptions of police). Motivations for selecting policing as a career in Jamaica include being viewed positively, job stability, personal connections to police officers, providing citizen security and the ability to enforce laws, personal development and self‑improvement, and being an exemplar to others. Deterrents for entry into the police profession in Jamaica include negative perceptions of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), the lengthy recruitment process, and perceptions of police corruption in Jamaica. Motivating factors that influence decisions to enter the JCF can be used as building blocks to attract new recruits, while the deterrent factors can be used to improve the recruitment process and rebrand the image of the JCF so as to make it more attractive to potential police recruits. Applied Police Briefings (Canada) 6/1/2025 Feature Effective Local Government Strategies for Addressing Crime Hot Spots Police-led crime prevention initiatives at crime hot spots can be effective, but they come with limitations. The police do not have the tools to deal with all the complex risk factors that create crime hot spots and some of the tools they do have can potentially damage community trust. There are many effective strategies that local governments can implement to reduce or prevent crime at hot spots that don’t rely solely on police expertise. These include increasing guardianship, changing the physical environment, changing or enforcing policies and rules, and strengthening the capacity for community problem-solving. It is imperative for local governments to help promote and build capacity for diagnosing the crime problem(s) at hot spots and understanding the specific local conditions that contribute to the crime at these locations. Applied Police Briefings (Canada) 6/1/2025 Feature A Rule of Thumb for Deception Detection: Focus Only on the Details People, including the police, are poor at detecting lies.

Specifically, these errors can lead to more negative emotions such as self-oriented anger, shame, and guilt, as well as stress in suspect interviews, and distraction in suicide negotiations. Law enforcement officers may use a variety of responses to resolve communication errors, ranging from taking responsibility by apologizing, exploring what is going on, deflecting blame, or providing unrelated comments. Taking part in the role-playing exercise that was designed for this study, and reviewing the study results, allowed law enforcement officers to safely experience and reflect on the consequences of communication errors. Learning more about how to handle communication errors helps officers to mentally prepare for real-world interactions and enhance their emotional awareness, as well as improve their ability to support colleagues during and after incidents.
