PF 739 - Psychological Interventions in Law EnforcementThe field of law enforcement has a unique culture, multi-faceted demands, and a variety of stressors. A police psychologist needs to understand the culture and stressors inherent in law enforcement in order to provide appropriate and effective interventions. Students examine stress management, dealing with trauma and crisis intervention. Given the high suicide rate in law enforcement, students learn about the risk of suicide, as well as prevention strategies. Students examine critical incident and undercover debriefing. As a result of wide-spread exposure to the public and high-risk populations, students learn about dealing with the mentally ill and officer survival training. Line-of-duty deaths have significant ramifications for police and the families of the deceased officer, so are covered in class. (2 credits) |
