About the Course

Policing has always been psychological challenging. On any given shift police officers may encounter a range of psychological challenges including domestic violence, interacting with people experiencing mental health issues, violent crime, even attending the aftermath of horrible accidents. The long exhausting shifts can also result in stressful person interactions within one’s personal life. The presence of COVID and political issues related to instances of over-policing have increased these stresses even more. This course has two goals. First, we want to inform officers how their stress system works and why they sometimes feel as they do. With this as a foundation we then describe some strategies officers can use to manage this system, giving themselves much needed breaks from the stress response and overall empowering them with a greater sense of control over how their bodies react to stress....

Interesting and useful course. I'm a little concerned though about when and how relaxation techniques would be practiced. Hopefully, all students understand that being alert while driving a vehicle is necessary, and relaxation techniques at the wheel would be practiced on a country road, away from densely populated areas, and away from where wildlife might jump into the roads. Thank you for the opportunity of studying in your online class.

Quick and easily digestible. Although the Cruiser analogy gave me my own anxiety because it is possibly the most uncomfortable place for a cop to be, hip pain, back pain, so connecting that with mindfulness is a miss with me. Thanks Steve for another solid course.
