The Policing Mind: Developing Trauma Resilience for a New Era
£4.50
How does it feel to be a police officer in the UK? What happens in the brains of officers, particularly in high-risk roles such as counter-terrorism and child sexual exploitation? Jessica Miller uses the most recent neuroscience and real-life examples to explore risks to individual resilience, be it trauma exposure, burnout or simply the daily pressure of adapting to life on the front line. A compulsory read for anyone with an interest in policing, the book offers practical, easy-to-follow resilience techniques applicable to anyone in the wider emergency responder community. The book also offers policy and operational recommendations to equip police officers with skills to face crime in a post-COVID world.

This is an excellent book by Dr Miller who examines what can happen to police officers who are continually exposed to trauma.
The book explains the effect of trauma on the brain and body, what happens and what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves. In my policing era the remedy we were told, was to go down to the pub!
An excellent book by an expert who cares about policing. Highly recommend.
