LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS ><br />

Researchers attached to the Pennsylvania State University<br />

are examining how officers cope with work-related<br />

stress and need police officer volunteers (all ranks and<br />

assignments) to complete a survey.<br />

As <strong>for</strong>mer police officers themselves Dr. Michael Arter and Dr Kim Menard, who are conducting the study,<br />

know how stressful police work can be. Un<strong>for</strong>tunately there is little research on how operational police<br />

combat stress. <strong>The</strong>ir target is to find out what coping mechanisms work best so that they can in<strong>for</strong>m policy<br />

makers and police alike.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey is approved by the Pennsylvania State University Institutional Review Board and is anonymous.<br />

It will only take about 20−30 minutes to complete. Participation is completely voluntary.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey is online and can be completed by going to www.surveymonkey.com/s/policestudy<br />
