Case Management: Law enforcement dealing with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Abstract
Law enforcement is crucial in a community setting regarding enhancement of security levels of people. Most of the law enforcers are well trained to endure some of the traumatizing scenes in their line of duty. For instance, police officers regularly handle rape, murder and assault cases (Perez et al.2010). At the initial stages, they may seem less affected by some of the traumatizing situations. However, with time it has been evidenced that most of them suffer from a post-traumatic stress disorder. This is because the body is pushed to the limit through which it can absorb some of the traumatizing situations. Some may try to hide these effects at their workplace. However, back in their families, the situation cannot be hidden. It has led to irresponsible behavior amongst law enforcement officers such as alcoholism and high rates of marriage breakups (Yuan et al.2011).

According to the authors (Austin-Ketch et al.2011), PSTD is a major concern issue for police officers in the modern world. It has serious health implications on the lives of police officers as well as their well-being and their associated performances. The three major concerns regarding PSTD include their causes, symptoms and ways through which they can be minimized and handled in relations to the performance levels of law enforcers in the society. Addressing this issue would provide a good way through which the quality of life of law enforcers would be improved regarding PSTD.

According to (Bowler et al.2010), police officers undergo burnout phases for a period of approximately eight to ten years of services. This becomes a dangerous situation to the family members of a police officer. It is attributed to the fact that after several years of exposure to traumatic situations most of the police officers became numb and used to some of the scenes because they believe they have seen everything that one could imagine. In most cases, the moral of such individuals towards their daily work responsibilities goes down. They end up transferring their anger ...

Laurie Leitch, PhD, is the research director for the Foundation of Human Enrinchment and a coufounder of the Trauma Research Institute. Jan Vanslyke, PhD, and Marisa Allen, ABD, are senior evaluation specialists at Reid and Associates. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resiliency Model (SE/TRM) could "reduce the post disaster symptoms of social service workers“ who deliver services to individuals and communities after a disaster.
The researchers conducted a quantitative study of 142 social service workers who provided service after huricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans. The study was conducted on a nonrandom sample of 142 social service workers. 91 participants received SE/TRM and they were compared with 51 workers who did not receive SE/TRM and were matched via propensity score matching. They hypothesis was that the use of SE/TRM could reduce the symptoms of disaster relief workers post disaster. Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in relation to post disaster relief. The group that received SE/TRM showed significantly lower PTSD symptoms and psychological distress and higher levels of resiliency. The authors noted that all of the participants in this study were employed, which sets them apart from many disaster survivors as well as the study was not a „randomized control study“. Further research is needed to further study the effectiveness of SE/TRM in the field of disaster treatment.

Do First Responders Have an Increased Risk of Developing Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder? Introduction
This topic is important to me, my husband was a first responder, many of his former crew members have suffered from PTSD, are currently suffering, and have even taken their own life since his line of duty death. I would like to research if mandatory counseling or if a critical stress debriefing after a traumatic incident could lessen the effects of PTSD however, there was not an ample amount of research.
First responders are those that respond to any emergency event. They can be firefighters, paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), law enforcement officers, trauma nurses, etc. With first responder suicides on the rise and the number of first responders suffering from posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) on the upswing (Kimbrel, Steffen, Meyer, Kruse, Knight, Zimering, and Gulliver, 2011) it seemed of importance to research if first responders do have a higher risk of development for PTSD. Proving that the risk of PTSD is higher in those occupations, could lead to programs for first responders to combat posttraumatic stress disorder.
Literature Review:
In the Chopko, Palmieri, and Adams 2018 path analysis there really was not a specific claim as to what they thought the outcome would be because they were trying to determine the relationships between traumatic experience, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) for police officers. In this cross-sectional study, the authors conducted their research with a goal to better understand and help police officers experiencing
PTSD (Chopko, Palmieri, & Adams 2018).
The methods used were pretty straightforward, the first author Brian A. Chopko attended roll calls at three different police departments and training sessions at the state training center, he invited 364 officers to participate in the anonymous survey only 53% of those asked, accepted and returned their surveys (Chopko, Palmieri, & Adams 2018). The participants were of varying levels of ranks including patrol officers, detectives, administration, and other positions. The subjects were predominately white males and mostly married (Chopko, Palmieri, & Adams
2018, p.183).
The subjects were given a self-assessed questionnaire to measure Posttraumatic Growth
Inventory with 21 questions, 10 questions on behavioral growth and 11 for cognitive growth (Chopko et al, 2018). They responded to the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder checklist, and also the Critical Incident History Questionnaire that assesses 34 incidents that are commonly experienced by officers in the field 19 of those questions ask about direct involvement ( shooting at someone/being shot at) and 15 items about indirect involvement for example:

Empirical research on the prevalence of PTSD on servicemen and veterans from combat
Developments in combat zone medicine infer more aggrieved servicemen and veterans are surviving their injuries; though, numerous injuries are not as noticeable such as missing appendages and other bodily wounds, explicitly distressing cognitive damages and post-traumatic stress writhed by both soldiers and citizens in the way of relatives and friends. The frequency of these injuries can be, and still are, not clear-cut. Moreover, the categorizations of these injuries have transformed over the course of time, touching on the way in which the sum of the aggrieved is tallied over and above the interventions presented (Angkaw et.al, 2015). An editorial in The Economist on March 2013 centered on the upsurge in the figure of war veterans pursuing medical assistance as a result of post-traumatic stress symptoms. The rise was realized amongst the newly repatriated officers, albeit similarly among elderly veterans of prior wars, and had resulted to a surge in America`s disabled former soldiers count by nearly 45% from the year 2000. A lot of empirical research reinforces the assertion made in the Economist piece, and investigation correspondingly demonstrates the long-term overheads will be a reality for many nations involved in the cross-border wars (Beckham et.al, 2014). Internationally, a rise in number of war veterans looking for assistance for psychological signs that are every so often well-matched with PTSD disorder explicate that the number of troupers affected with PTSD in the year 2013 will grow to over 300,000 persons in the United States. A similar predisposition is noticed in other nation state, and a recent research from Europe (particularly United Kingdom) pronounces late onset indications among servicemen. Our test hypothesis will appraise the prevalence and frequency of PTSD in servicemen and veteran from the warzone. From the prevalence then apt interventions can be devised to help assist all those who served and are affected with disorder.
How is PTSD perceived in a health perspective?
PTSD is a mental disorder, which is described and defined in the ensuing two classifications; the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) established by the World Health Organization (WHO), together with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DMMD) instigated by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5). The analytical measures in the two classifications are articulated somewhat differently, but overall they are seen as alike. The analytical criteria consist of the following: experiencing a traumatic situation or event, short or long lasting, in which the person is exposed to fears of loss of life, grim harm or sexual abuse. The exposure is a due to circumstances with unswervingly involves the distressing event or observes the traumatic happening personally (Angkaw et.al, 2015). The social-b ...

Abstract
Law Enforcement is an extremely stressful career, because it is one of a very few occupations where the officers are frequently asked to face both the mental, and physical dangers and to put their very lives on the line each and every day. Many other studies have shown that the law enforcement occupation has one of the highest rates of suicide, divorce, and substance abuse than any other occupation. This proposed research would identify many of the stresses that are placed on both the individual officers but also their families. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary stress is defined as “a response to something in the environment a stressor is when the environment changes” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 1994).
The research procedures and methods to be used for this proposed study would be personal interviews, professional journal articles, and internet sources. Generally speaking, stressors in law enforcement can be classified into four groups (1) public practices (2) criminal justice system practices and characteristics (3) organization practices (4) the nature of police work. Studies have shown that in many departments are reporting that as many as 25% of officers has some type of substance abuse problems. Many of the stressors that many officers are faced with is shift-work in many cases resulting in many hours away from their families, their supervisors, comfits with other officers, and the general public. There are many other stressors that the officers and their families has to face for instance irregular sleep schedules, low pay, long hours, and having to deal with family and friends that do not understand what these officers are confronted with every day (Territo & Vetter, 1981). From all this, it is easy to conclude that law enforcement officers need education and training to help them, and their families deal with the many hardships and challenges they face each day. It is highly recommened that with proper education, support and counseling the officers will be much more efficient and safer, and their families will be happier and much more supporting of their officers.
Introduction
Many Police Departments around the nation has officers and their families that are being adversely affected by stress. Stress comes in many different forms. Some possible sources of stress can be both external as well as internal pressure to achieve promotion. Conflicts with friends and family, not getting enough sleep, bring work home with them, and lac.

1. Previous research and authors’ rationales for conducting their study
The past research was by Grubaugh, Zinzow, Paul, Egede, & Frueh that was done in 2011, which was necessitated by need to know prevalence, correlates, and treatment of PTSD in the general population. It was meant also to give an insight into PTSD within the context of severe mental illness. The other research was by Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson research done in 1995. The purpose of this study was also to show prevalence and persistence of the disease. It was also used to estimate the probabilities of PTSD from different types of trauma. It was also meant to show if Posttraumatic stress disorder was in any way comorbid with other lifetime DSM-III-R disorders.
2. Research method used
The research method used was a case study, this method was perfect fit for this nature of study because it relate clearly with daily experience and have a 'human face'. The other advantage of case study is that it offers the opportunity for the researcher to broker diverse viewpoints. It too allow for the immediate accumulation of data.

Module 1 Overview
In Module 1 readings, you will begin to learn about the major distinctions among the various definitions of forensic psychology. Which definition do you think makes the most sense? As you begin to consider the roles that forensic mental health professionals assume, it is important to remember that they work in service of the legal system. They need to provide information that is helpful to the legal system in fulfilling its duties. In order to better understand the relationship between the law and the work of forensic mental health professionals, you will begin to study landmark court decisions and their impact on forensic practice. You will begin to make plans for the fieldwork that you will conduct later in the course. For now, you will simply need to develop a list of potential field placements—places you would like to visit.
· Describe key processes and players within the legal and correctional systems.
· Define and analyze the impact of landmark case law on the practice of forensic psychology.
· Define key psycholegal concepts (e.g., competency, insanity, dangerousness) and the role of forensic mental health professionals and legal theory in relation to the application of these concepts.
· Identify and evaluate key data sources related to the populations served by the practice of forensic psychology (e.g., National Uniform Crime Reports, court decisions, statistics related to competence and sanity defenses, demographics of prison populations, etc.).
· Compare and contrast how forensic mental health professionals work within mental health, corporate, government, legal, and correctional systems.
· Examine sources of professional ethical standards (e.g., APA, ACA).
History of Forensic Psychology
Search your textbook for the important benchmarks in the history of forensic psychology. These benchmarks highlight the important trends that have continued to influence the field. Many of the trends started from seemingly small questions. Here is a good example. Suppose that I were to ask you to tell me what the weather was one week ago today. Can you recall the weather one week ago? In your recollection, how confident do you feel that what you recall is in fact accurate?
Questions such as these were of interest to J. McKeen Cattell. In 1893, Cattell performed an experiment that had implications for the psychology of eyewitness testimony (Psych Central, 2013). Cattell asked college students a variety of questions (e.g., the weather one week earlier) and asked them to rate how confident they felt about their answers. Cattell learned that just because people believe they had provided a correct answer or recollection, they were not always able to do so. Furthermore, Cattell learned that just because individuals rate themselves as confident in their answers, their confidence ratings do not necessarily reflect the accuracy of their answers. Can you see how this experiment had important implications for the courtroom?

Criminal/Psychological Profiling
Diane Miller
Abstract
Criminal profiling is not a new concept as variations of it have been used for many years in an effort to understand offenders and facilitate crime solving. As the field of Forensic Nursing grows, the Forensic Nurse plays an important role as a member of the criminal profiling team especially as a Forensic Nurse Examiner. This study will examine the criminal profiling process, the steps leading to the apprehension of the offender and explore the benefits law enforcement agencies can reap by including a Forensic Nurse as a member of their team.
Statement of Criminal/Psychological Profiling
Although criminal profiling had been used for many years it became a more refined process in the 1970’s when the FBI began conducting research in an effort to provide a better understanding of serial murderers and rapists. The groundwork for this profiling was laid by the FBI’s criminal research project. The FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent crimes assists local, state and federal agencies by providing criminal profiles. Profiling uses deduction to paint a picture of the offender but does not identify him. It does this by focusing on certain behavioral and personality characteristics.
Literature Review of Criminal/Psychological Profiling
The literature review indicates criminal profiling began informally in the 1940’s, but caught the interest of the FBI after the a profile of the “Mad Bomber” done by a New York psychiatrist, Dr. James Brussel, in the 1950’s proved to be amazingly accurate.
In the 1970’s the FBI developed a more refined process in utilizing criminal profiling as an investigative tool. That process continues today at the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and is instrumental in solving heinous and violent crimes that otherwise could not be solved.
The literature review supports the value and importance of criminal profiling today and the role it plays in attaining justice for the victims of violent crime and their families.
The principles related to criminal profiling outlined in the literature demonstrate the importance of interpreting crime scene behavior in order to narrow the field of suspects for a particular crime and the accuracy it provides.

Over the years, it has been well-documented that there have been a lot of problems concerning substance abuse, suicide and mental disorders in the military and its ranks. A pentagon report released during the summer time showed that close to 18percent suicide increase cases were experienced in a period of one year. During the first half of the year 2012, the rate of suicide experienced among the active-duty of the nation greatly outpaced the number of military officials that died in the battle. Despite the failure of the department to fully understand the fact that a lot of military officials encounter problems with emotions and drug abuse, experts from psychological fields say that there is a very close connection of such habits when the officials are deployed to countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. Officials from the defense department have come to the mutual conclusion that American army has never engaged themselves in wars with such problems becoming frequent among its officials. A lot of money has been spent by the top brass trying to formulate prevention and treatment programs for the officials making it clear that any person that has uniform need not be stigmatized when seeking medical treatment.
Introduction
The military is defined as the forces that have been authorized to use weapons and deadly force to try and support the interests of the citizens and their state. They are usually assigned with the task of defending their people by protecting them against wars from other countries. Additionally, they may have both the non-sanctioned and sanctioned functions in the society that include promoting agendas of politics, controlling the internal population, economic interests and society functions. Despite being reliable and efficient to their citizens, the military has faced problems regarding drugs, suicide and huge rates of depressions among their officials. Such problems are growing at rates that are alarming and sensitive to the nation due to the many number of deaths that are reported on a yearly basis. A lot of efforts have been made by organizations but more needs to be done as the army officials are encountering a lot of hardships in trying to deal with such problems. The study examines the problems in detailed form and explains what needs to be done.
To begin with, IOM came up with the conclusion that prevention and treatment programs are inconsistent as they frequently use evidence based drugs that the providers of the healthcare departments have not gotten adequate training on them at all their levels contribut.
With reference to relevant research, critically examine the application of psychological theory in relation to the psychological needs and clinical experience of one clinically relevant client group

ratio (PR) of events. Analysis of variance was used to compare mean frequency of
occurrence and mean stress ratings by gender. Many reported stressors dealt with
violent situations. Responding to family disputes (83 %) was reported as the most
frequent stressor and exposure to battered children (27 %) was the most highly rated
stressor (mean rating: 67.6 ± 35.3). Killing someone in the line of duty (mean rating:
66.3 ± 43.0) and experiencing a fellow officer being killed (mean rating: 65.3 ± 40.6)
were highly rated but infrequent (0.27 % and 3.6 %, respectively). Male officers tended
to report more frequent stressors which took away from their time off duty such as court
appearances (PR = 1.26, 1.04–1.52) and working second jobs (PR = 2.37, 1.57–3.57).
In contrast, female officers reported experiencing a 37 % higher prevalence of lack of
support from supervisor (PR = 0.63, 0.48–0.82) relative to male officers. Results of the
present study are discussed within the context of specific police stressors and gender.

Abstract
Law Enforcement is an extremely stressful career, because it is one of a very few occupations where the officers are frequently asked to face both the mental, and physical dangers and to put their very lives on the line each and every day. Many other studies have shown that the law enforcement occupation has one of the highest rates of suicide, divorce, and substance abuse than any other occupation. This proposed research would identify many of the stresses that are placed on both the individual officers but also their families. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary stress is defined as “a response to something in the environment a stressor is when the environment changes” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 1994).
The research procedures and methods to be used for this proposed study would be personal interviews, professional journal articles, and internet sources. Generally speaking, stressors in law enforcement can be classified into four groups (1) public practices (2) criminal justice system practices and characteristics (3) organization practices (4) the nature of police work. Studies have shown that in many departments are reporting that as many as 25% of officers has some type of substance abuse problems. Many of the stressors that many officers are faced with is shift-work in many cases resulting in many hours away from their families, their supervisors, comfits with other officers, and the general public. There are many other stressors that the officers and their families has to face for instance irregular sleep schedules, low pay, long hours, and having to deal with family and friends that do not understand what these officers are confronted with every day (Territo & Vetter, 1981). From all this, it is easy to conclude that law enforcement officers need education and training to help them, and their families deal with the many hardships and challenges they face each day. It is highly recommened that with proper education, support and counseling the officers will be much more efficient and safer, and their families will be happier and much more supporting of their officers.
Introduction
Many Police Departments around the nation has officers and their families that are being adversely affected by stress. Stress comes in many different forms. Some possible sources of stress can be both external as well as internal pressure to achieve promotion. Conflicts with friends and family, not getting enough sleep, bring work home with them, and lac.

1. Previous research and authors’ rationales for conducting their study
The past research was by Grubaugh, Zinzow, Paul, Egede, & Frueh that was done in 2011, which was necessitated by need to know prevalence, correlates, and treatment of PTSD in the general population. It was meant also to give an insight into PTSD within the context of severe mental illness. The other research was by Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson research done in 1995. The purpose of this study was also to show prevalence and persistence of the disease. It was also used to estimate the probabilities of PTSD from different types of trauma. It was also meant to show if Posttraumatic stress disorder was in any way comorbid with other lifetime DSM-III-R disorders.
2. Research method used
The research method used was a case study, this method was perfect fit for this nature of study because it relate clearly with daily experience and have a 'human face'. The other advantage of case study is that it offers the opportunity for the researcher to broker diverse viewpoints. It too allow for the immediate accumulation of data.

Module 1 Overview
In Module 1 readings, you will begin to learn about the major distinctions among the various definitions of forensic psychology. Which definition do you think makes the most sense? As you begin to consider the roles that forensic mental health professionals assume, it is important to remember that they work in service of the legal system. They need to provide information that is helpful to the legal system in fulfilling its duties. In order to better understand the relationship between the law and the work of forensic mental health professionals, you will begin to study landmark court decisions and their impact on forensic practice. You will begin to make plans for the fieldwork that you will conduct later in the course. For now, you will simply need to develop a list of potential field placements—places you would like to visit.
· Describe key processes and players within the legal and correctional systems.
· Define and analyze the impact of landmark case law on the practice of forensic psychology.
· Define key psycholegal concepts (e.g., competency, insanity, dangerousness) and the role of forensic mental health professionals and legal theory in relation to the application of these concepts.
· Identify and evaluate key data sources related to the populations served by the practice of forensic psychology (e.g., National Uniform Crime Reports, court decisions, statistics related to competence and sanity defenses, demographics of prison populations, etc.).
· Compare and contrast how forensic mental health professionals work within mental health, corporate, government, legal, and correctional systems.
· Examine sources of professional ethical standards (e.g., APA, ACA).

Abstract This descriptive study examined the top five most frequent and highly rated
occupational stressors from the Spielberger Police Stress Survey among 365 police
officers enrolled in the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress (BCOPS)
Study (2004–2009). Prevalence, frequency, and rating of stressors were compared
across gender. Poisson regression was used to estimate the prevalence and prevalence

ratio (PR) of events. Analysis of variance was used to compare mean frequency of
occurrence and mean stress ratings by gender. Many reported stressors dealt with
violent situations. Responding to family disputes (83 %) was reported as the most
frequent stressor and exposure to battered children (27 %) was the most highly rated
stressor (mean rating: 67.6 ± 35.3). Killing someone in the line of duty (mean rating:
66.3 ± 43.0) and experiencing a fellow officer being killed (mean rating: 65.3 ± 40.6)
were highly rated but infrequent (0.27 % and 3.6 %, respectively). Male officers tended
to report more frequent stressors which took away from their time off duty such as court
appearances (PR = 1.26, 1.04–1.52) and working second jobs (PR = 2.37, 1.57–3.57).
In contrast, female officers reported experiencing a 37 % higher prevalence of lack of
support from supervisor (PR = 0.63, 0.48–0.82) relative to male officers. Results of the
present study are discussed within the context of specific police stressors and gender.

In general, reliabilities less than 0.60 are considered to be poor, those in the 0.70 range, acceptable, and those over 0.80 good. Thus, the internal consistency reliability of the measures used in this study can be considered to be acceptable for the job enrichment measure and good for the other measures.
It is important to note that all the negatively worded items in the questionnaire should first be reversed before the items are submitted for reliability tests. Unless all the items measuring a variable are in the same direction, the reliabilities obtained will be incorrect.
A sample of the result obtained for the Cronbach’s alpha test for job enrichment, together with instructions on how it is obtained, is shown in Output 11.3.
The reliability of the job enrichment measure is presented in the first table in Output 11.3. The second table provides an overview of the alphas if we take one of the items out of the measure. For instance, it is shown that if the first item (Jobchar1) is taken out, Cronbach’s alpha of the new three-item measure will be 0.577. This means that the alpha will go down if we take item 1 out of our measure. On the other hand, if we take out item 3, our alpha will go up and become 0.851. Note that, in this case, we would not take out item 3 for two reasons. First, our alpha is above 0.7 so we do not have to take any remedial actions. Second, if we took item 3 out, the validity of our measure would probably decrease. We did not include item 3 for nothing in the original measure!
If, however, our Cronbach’s alpha was too low (under 0.60) then we could use this table to find out which of the items would have to be removed from our measure to increase the interitem consistency. Note that, usually, taking out an item, although improving the reliability of our measure, affects the validity of our measure .

Formal Essay #3: Reporting Information/The Expository Essay
Expository writing is a staple of academic writing. Throughout your academic and professional career, you will be called on to write hundreds of expository articles, reports and essays. A thorough knowledge of this writing form will hold you in good stead all through your career.
What is Expository Writing?
‘Expository’ is a synonym of ‘explanatory’. An expository essay is a piece of writing that explains or informs. It should be based on fact and free of the writer’s prejudices. Opinion is often expressed, but only if it is backed by fact. For example, if someone asked you to write an essay on the causes of World War II, you would write about Germany’s losses in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hitler led Nazism. In other words, everything would be based on verifiable fact.
The expository writing process centers on four activities:
Generate a rough idea or hypothesis.
Find evidence to back up this idea.
Expound on the idea.
Present an argument to back up the idea.
Thus, if you were to say that the Treaty of Versailles was the chief cause of World War II, you would first talk about the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the financial condition of Germany after WWI, the ineffectiveness of the Weimar Republic, and how they all led to the rise of Nazism.
Structurally, a piece of expository writing has the following components:
An
introduction
that introduces the central idea you will discuss in the essay.
The
main body
that presents evidence to back up the idea. This is the meat of the essay.
A
conclusion
that presents your idea again in the light of the evidence.
Thus, the central thrust of expository writing should be to build towards proving an argument, fact by fact, piece of evidence by piece of evidence. You will use expository writing a lot throughout your academic life. Most essays that you write in college will be expository in nature. Most writing that you will do in your professional life will involve a lot of expository content as well. In other words, sharpening up this skill will serve you well throughout your life.

Case Management: Law enforcement dealing with PTSD (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Abstract
Law enforcement is crucial in a community setting regarding
enhancement of security levels of people. Most of the law
enforcers are well trained to endure some of the traumatizing
scenes in their line of duty. For instance, police officers
regularly handle rape, murder and assault cases (Perez et
al.2010). At the initial stages, they may seem less affected by
some of the traumatizing situations. However, with time it has
been evidenced that most of them suffer from a post-traumatic
stress disorder. This is because the body is pushed to the limit
through which it can absorb some of the traumatizing situations.
Some may try to hide these effects at their workplace. However,
back in their families, the situation cannot be hidden. It has led
to irresponsible behavior amongst law enforcement officers
2. such as alcoholism and high rates of marriage breakups (Yuan et

traumatic stress symptoms and cortisol measures in a police
cohort. Journal of Addictions Nursing, 23(1), 22-29.
According to the authors (Austin-Ketch et al.2011), PSTD is a
major concern issue for police officers in the modern world. It
has serious health implications on the lives of police officers as
well as their well-being and their associated performances. The
three major concerns regarding PSTD include their causes,
symptoms and ways through which they can be minimized and
handled in relations to the performance levels of law enforcers
in the society. Addressing this issue would provide a good way
through which the quality of life of law enforcers would be
improved regarding PSTD.

probable posttraumatic stress disorder amongst police
responders to 2001 World Trade Center terrorist attack. An
American journal of industrial medicine, 53(12), 1186-1196.
According to (Bowler et al.2010), police officers undergo
burnout phases for a period of approximately eight to ten years
of services. This becomes a dangerous situation to the family
members of a police officer. It is attributed to the fact that after
several years of exposure to traumatic situations most of the
3. police officers became numb and used to some of the scenes
because they believe they have seen everything that one could
imagine. In most cases, the moral of such individuals towards
their daily work responsibilities goes down. They end up
transferring their anger and stress levels to innocent citizens or
family members.

The authors found out that the low enforcement departments can
deal with PSTD by creating supporting climates in the
workplace. Officers working in supporting counseling climates
have recorded less stress, which also reduces their need for
undergoing counseling. The authors also suggested that law
enforcement departments could deal with PSTD by requiring the
officer to undergo mandatory and periodic counseling. The
sessions should also treat the sources of stress.

Chaplin et al. (2008) training law enforcement leaders play a
significant role in dealing with PSTD and other related issues.
According to the authors, the training should equip the leaders
with skills to recognize signs of workplace stress in their junior
officers and the leader actions to undertake in dealing with the
stress. The authors argue that this approach helps in eliminating
the culture of being silent among officers and encourage them
to seek help.

According to the author (Chopko et al.2010), more than two-
thirds of police officers in the US have quit their jobs after
4. witnessing their partners being taken down by criminal gangs.
This is attributed to the extreme levels of trauma inflicted when
one loss a trusted partner in his o here line of duty. It is a good
example of some of the extreme incidents that force law
enforcers to give in to trauma and depression regarding PSTD.
The rate of police suicide cases has also been on the increase in
the last few years, which is caused by intense trauma and
depression.

Colwell et al. (2011) stated that law enforcement officers record
different experiences with trauma as their trauma experiences
differ regarding the type, frequency, and variety of events
experienced. The journal also notes that one way of dealing
with PSTD among the officers is to undertake cognitive
appraisals. According to the authors, this method has the
potential to improve the functioning of the officers and their
wellbeing. Humanistic and cognitively-based therapeutic
approaches can also help officers make positive meanings of
traumatic events.

Insight into Officer Coping Mechanisms. McNair Scholars

The author states that one PSTD coping strategy that could be
used by law enforcers is having employee assistance programs
(EAP). The primary role of EAP is to help the employees with
personal challenges that could affect their job performance.
Most law enforcement has in the past avoided seeking mental
health services as it was perceived to be a sign of weakness, and
due to the perception that police officer is tough. Law
enforcement departments should implement EAP programs to
build the officer’s social capital, which reduces the effects of
5. PSTD.

Hartley et al. (2013) state that police work involves exposure to
traumatic and violent effects, which increases their risk of
suffering from PSTD. The authors also recommend that law
enforcement officers can diagnose PSTD by using the clinical
diagnostic model. The authors also found out law enforcers
should also be trained on how to deal with stressful events to
reduce their risk of PSTD.

The authors (Haugenet al. 2012) believe that law enforcing
officers are exposed to different types of pressures as well as
trauma calling for adaption in attitude as well as toughness
whenever handling cases in their line of duty. The good training
and temperament allow them to resolve their cases effectively.
In addition to the stress levels, they are exposed to in their line
of duty the law enforcers have become a scapegoat for most of
the criminal activities occurring in the society as well as public
criticism. This increases the levels of depression as well as
stress as they try to strike the correct balance between their
family responsibilities and line of duty.

According to the authors of this article (Javidi & Yadollahie,
2011), some of the police officers have to work extra hours as
an alternative way through which they can fully meet their
family needs. This also adds stress to their lives. It is attributed
6. to the fact that they are exposed to traumatic situations in their
line of work yet the employee does not pay them enough to take
care of their family needs. It leads to a situation where the
victims are innocent public members. The officers tend to be
more aggressive whenever dealing with the civilians in a
society.

The authors found out law enforcement departments should deal
with PSTD by implementing PSTD-related interventions
appropriate in managing the condition. The groups of law
enforcers who face the highest risk should be prioritized during
PSTD treatment. The implementation of PTSD-related
interventions and management practices can help in coping with
the condition by boosting the self-awareness of the officer’s
vulnerability to the effects of trauma, which encourages them to
seek treatment.

The article states that since law enforcement is one of the high-
risk disciplines, psychological debriefing can be used as an
approach to prevent the development of PSTD. The
implementation of this method can be done by defining critical
incidents in the policy statements and standard operating
procedures. Law enforcement leader should help the officers
cope with PSTD by offering critical incident stress debriefing
(CISD), as the authors state that it has proved effective in
various police organizations.

According to this article by (Ménard & Arter, 2013), the
authors highlight the importance of law enforcers in our daily
lives. Each time one gets to dial the emergency number, he or
she expects an immediate response from the police officers. In
most cases, no one minds about the security of the law enforcers
as they come to the rescue of a caller. They are trained with
special skills of effectiveness and endurance. However, this
does not protect them from trauma. As time goes by the stress
levels go beyond the manageable levels forces, the law
enforcers to seek help on how the can improve the quality of
their lives regarding PSTD.

The authors (Ménard & Arter, 2014) acknowledge that PST is a
serious condition affecting police officers. This is because
members of the society cannot recognize some of the symptoms.
However, the unfortunate bit is that if one tries to hide the
symptoms at the place of work, then they will be manifested at
home. It is important to allow the police officers to seek
appropriate assistance once one has detected symptoms of the
PSTD. This will help in quick recovery and improvement of
their quality of life regarding balancing between work and
family responsibilities.

The authors state that police officer can deal with PSTD by
having to cope with stress as a critical competence. One primary
way of dealing with PSTD is offering emotional support. The
8. authors found out that officer who got emotional support from
colleagues, friends and family members reduced their risk of
PSTD. Dealing with PSTD from a professional and departmental
approach prevents an officer from using ineffective coping
methods like alcohol consumption.

Paton et al. (2008) propose the Stress Shield mode as one of the
ways officers can use in dealing with PSTD. The model
recommends the use of resilience that involves the interaction
between individual, team, and organizational factors. This
model helps in coping with PSTD by equipping the officers with
the ability to render the future traumatic experience meaningful
and manageable, which makes them quickly adapt to
unpredictable circumstances.

The authors found out that law enforcement organization can

stress management interventions and their effectiveness. In
addition, stress management interventions should focus on both
personal and organizational source of stress. The authors also
suggest that mixed methods should be used in helping officers
cope with stressful situations.

The authors (Perez et al.2010) believe that despite the passion
and valor amongst the law enforcers to diligently serve the
9. people no matter how tough the conditions may be, some special
cases need intervention. This is because different police officers
have their breaking points, which differ. A good example is a
police officer who witnessed the killing of a partner by the
bullet. It is an incident that would forever torture an individual
as he or she feels there should have been something one could
have done to save the life. This type of situations promotes the
development of stress amongst law enforcers.

disorder. Occupational medicine, 63(3), 175-182.
According to the authors of this article (Skogstad et al.2013),
law enforcement in a country is one of the most dangerous jobs.
It affects the workers both emotionally and physically. Most of
the crimes the police officers encounter in their daily operations
include murder rape and robbery cases. The long periods,
through which some of the police officers are exposed to makes,
they suffer emotionally and physically about their family
responsibilities. It is one of the problems that make it difficult
for some of the law enforcing officers to be in a position to
establish a good balance between their work and family
responsibilities. Some of the effects of law enforcement in their
lives include increased alcoholism, marriage divorce as well as
domestic violence promoted in the society. Developments of
health complications such as heart attacks and cancer are caused
by this type of life which law enforcers have to face in their
line of duty (Skogstad et al.2013). Most people believe that
police officers can witness trauma and violence without being
emotionally and physically tortured. However, according to
research, this has been proven a myth. It is attributed to the fact
that police officers are also human with feelings that have to be
protected. Whenever the levels of stressing conditions exceed
an individual's capability to contain one, then he or she
becomes depressed thereby affecting family life quality. Most
of the law enforcer’s workers suffer from PSTD (Post Traumatic
10. Stress Disorder) due to the nature of their work.

factors influencing posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in
the prospective study of police officers. Psychiatry research,
188(1), 45-50.
According to the authors (Yuan et al.2011), it is true that on a
daily basis police officers are exposed to the highest level of
stress and trauma as compared to any other worker in the
society. This is because in most cases they are called upon to
handle crime-related issues where one may have been raped
killed, brutally attacked or robbed. Such exposure requires one
to be tough to contain the stress levels that come to a long one's
line of duty. People are created differently in some cases we
have a special group of police officers who survive on stress
levels. However, the majority are greatly affected by minimum
amounts of stress levels, which has devastating effects on their
family responsibilities. In some cases, many people will want to
apply for this type of jobs to so that they can be in a position to
handle the stress and also earn good rewards that come along
taking such responsibility in the society. Despite the benefits,
high stresses jobs come along with they can as well as ruin an
individual's family life.
