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.
