cla
Police Work has been identified as the most psychologically danger-
ous job in the world. Police jobs are frequently ph%•sically and
emotionally more hazadous than other occupations in both general
_ and situation -specific terms. The police officer often works in
a perilous and threatening, enviroment where injury or death are
real possi.bilites. The police officer is repeatedly called upon
to handle traumatic emergencies and crisis of all types. Ln ad-
dition, because lie is an authority symbol in the community, the
officer automatieal.ly becomes the target of anger and resentment
even from people whom he is trying to help. Siftwork in policing
has been identified as predisposins; officers to various illnesses
and havin;; harmful. of fects on family relationships. The stressful
nature of the police officer's job not onl%• increases his chances
for stress -related physiological diseases but also produces detri-
mental copin:; stategies which affect his private life and his psy-
chological and emotional r:e.jlbeing.
Numerous studies indi.•ate that police officers exhibit an unusual
amount of divorces, aIcohoIisr:l, absenteeism, coronary diseases,
ulcers, artliritis, and emoti(.)nal problems. As a profession police
officers h.rve the third highest suicide rate in the nation. Studies
show that ris man. as ?5 per cent of police officers have serious
alcohol problems. The police divorce rate is ;ignificantly above
the national average. Other studies have shown that three-tourths
of police officers' heart attacks are due to job -related stress.
These emotional, physical, and occupational casualties not only
affect the officer's personal. life and ability to do his job effec-
tively but they also constitute a financial burden to the police
organization he works for. This economic drain manifest itself
in officer disability compensation, absenteeism, and replacement
for disabled officers. As an example, a police officer who retires
at age 35 with a disahility will collect $500,000 duain;; a normal
life span. Fi;;ures can be added to total the economic losses. The
toll of stress in terms of unhappiness, unsatisfactory marital and
family relationships. and personal lack of productivity is more
difficult to calculate.

Page 2 Training Contract
19 November 1980
The Miami Police Department has been a front runner in trying to
address the problems of stress. The Department, for the last two
years, has been presenting a week long training program in con-
junction with The Counseling And Stress Control Center. The pro-
gram, Officer Stress Resolution and Management, has already been
presented to 329 officers from Dade and Monroe Counties. It has
received nationwide television coverage via CBS News, as well as
regional and local recognition through the Los Angeles Times, the
Miami Herald, and WTVJ TV. It has been well received among law
enforcement administrators in the region, who have allowed their
officers to attend despite manpower shortages within their respect-
ive departments. But most importantly, the program has been enthus-
iastically received by those officers who have participated. There
has been near unanimous support among participants that the program
is not only well presented, but has helped them adjust to the stress
which is inherent in police work.
This year, the City has been awarded $25,000.00 by the State of
Florida from the Law Enforcement Training Trust Fund to conduct
The Stress Resolution and Management Programs during 1981. An
expeditious formation of a contract will insure the continued pre-
sentation of this important program.
