CRM 355 - Stress Management in Law Enforcement

3 credits

Prerequisite(s): POL 123 or CRM 123, and CRM 220
This course will examine all aspects of police stress and be of considerable value to three different groups; first, police administrators who must deal with the negative effects of stress on their officers; second, police officers who work on the streets and are regularly exposed to violence, cruelty and aggression and; third, students who are considering careers in law enforcement. The specific recommendations will be set forth on how to identify the early signs of stress and what police departments can do to effectively intervene and treat officers who experience high levels of stress, especially post-traumatic stress disorder.
