[Update Subscription Preferences]( Dear Police1 Member, Being a police officer is no easy job – it requires long hours, quick decision-making skills and a readiness to jump into action at any given moment. With all the adrenaline that comes with the job, it's no wonder many officers struggle to get enough shut eye. In a recent Police1 poll, 41% of respondents indicated they get less than 6 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period!
