A psychologist friend of mine described the condition for police officers in terms of 'cumulative stress,' without a significant relief valve. I imagine officers carrying a burlap sack on their backs - with daily deposits of stress - and the tiniest of holes in the bottom, allowing some stress to leak out - but not enough to ever empty the bag. Having supportive organizations - and people around them - helps officers lighten this inescapable burden. If you know an officer - let them know you appreciate them; it will have a greater impact on them than you might think.

Many across the country are calling for police reform. The problem is - the proposed solutions are largely expansions of prior efforts that have not produced solid results. Check out this short article on a model that will be a game-changer. https://bit.ly/33cYHpz

For my fellow law enforcement family - check out the latest blog I wrote on police patrol scheduling.

"We need more cops!"Do patrol officers in your law enforcement agency complain about being short-staffed or too busy, or that they are constantly running from call to call? Does your agency struggle with backed-up calls for service or lengthyresponse times? Are patrol officers denied leave time or training opportunities because of staffing issues? If one or more of these conditions exist within your agency, it is possible that additional patrol staff are needed. However, what is just as likely — and perhaps even more so — is that an ineffectively designed patrol schedule is at least partially to blame.Please join me on September 11th from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM as I host a webinar on effective patrol schedule design. You can register, and learn more about the webinar, by following the link below.https://lnkd.in/dmvBths

In Jacksonville, FL for the IACP Tech Conference. Great conference - lots of good conversations. I presented this afternoon on building efficiency in police organizations through leveraging technology. This is a conference to put on your calendar for next year.

In conducting operational assessments of police agencies large and small all around the country, I find that many departments are not taking full advantage of the technology solutions available to them that could improve the efficiency of their delivery of services to the community. I will be addressing this topic in a workshop presentation at the IACP Technology Conference in May. During that workshop, I will provide attendees with a free technology self-assessment tool, which they can use to help determine how well they are engaging technology in their patrol service delivery. If you are interested in attending the workshop, I have posted the information below.
