September 14, 2020 | [View as webpage]( [LE%20WEB%20Roll%20Call%20News-P1-Rebrand-620x120.png?w=620&mode=max&format=jpg&quality=92]( [spacer.gif] [spacer.gif] [spacer.gif] Dear Police1 Member, It is no secret that 2020 has been a challenging year for law enforcement. A recent survey of the stresses that officers are experiencing based on current events uncovered a worrying finding: 47% of the sample screened positive for PTSD, which is approximately 9 to 10 times greater than the prevalence seen in the general population. In today’s newsletter, the researchers share more information from the survey and Police1 columnist Joel Shults outlines how police leaders can address stress within their ranks.
