This assignment will focus on some of the stressors encountered by law enforcement officers. You will explore how these stressors affect police officers. Learning about the incidence and prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among police officers is one of the goals of this assignment. You will also develop a stress management curriculum that could be utilized for officers in need of stress management and stress reduction services.<\/p>\n

Using the module’s readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research the various aspects of stress in the life of a police officer.<\/p>\n

  Part 2: Stress Management Curriculum<\/p>\n

  Using the module’s readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research sources of stress and stress management methods.<\/p>\n

  In this part, you will develop a stress management curriculum to be taught at a weekly in-service training for law enforcement officers. This will be a 4-hour instructional presentation.<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Outline the topics you will include in the presentation.<\/li>\n
  • Include relevant research and statistics related to stressors in law enforcement work.<\/li>\n

    Include the following in your presentation:<\/p>\n

    \n
    • A title slide<\/li>\n
    • A reference slide<\/li>\n
    • Headings for each section<\/li>\n
