This study was conducted as controversy and turmoil engulfed police worldwide. Police-community conflict was widespread and conceivably increased officers’ stress levels. Because stress affects officers’ health and job performance, it is important to understand the phenomenon. This study was designed to ascertain officers’ stress levels, coping mechanisms, and perspectives regarding police-community relations, their perceived stress-related needs, and their perceptions of departmental assistance. Participants (N = 128) were police officers across several jurisdictions of various sizes in the northeastern United States. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected; analytic methods included statistical correlations and regression, as well as qualitative, thematic analysis. Results indicated the following: Participants experienced stress across multiple areas; some coping mechanisms predicted higher expressions of stress, as did certain perspectives of police-community relations and years in law enforcement. Participants’ perspectives of their needs and their suggestions for action contributed to data-driven policy recommendations regarding both prevention and symptom reduction approaches.

这项研究是在有争议的情况下进行的,动荡席卷了全世界的警察。警察与社区之间的冲突十分普遍,可以想象到警官的压力增加了。由于压力会影响军官的健康和工作绩效,因此了解这一现象很重要。这项研究旨在确定警务人员的压力水平,应对机制以及有关警察社区关系,他们与压力相关的感知需求以及对部门援助的感知的观点。参与者(N = 128)是美国东北部多个管辖区的警察。收集了定量和定性数据;分析方法包括统计相关性和回归以及定性,主题分析。结果表明:参加者在多个领域经历了压力;一些应对机制预示着压力的更高表达,某些关于警察社区关系的观点以及执法年限也是如此。参与者对需求的看法和行动建议有助于以数据为依据的有关预防和减轻症状方法的政策建议。
