Data from a preprogram departmentwide baseline psychological assessment and clinical case materials were used as a management education tool to help police executives identify and proactively deal with the negative results of police stress. The psychological assessment surveyed a random sample of 725 sworn officers, with an 82.2-percent response rate. The assessment determined the relationship between perceived and actual stress and selected demographic, psychological, and job satisfaction variables. The stress factors identified pertained to danger stress, peer relations, inadequate support, supervision and discipline, and judicial inadequacies. Cluster analysis was used to identify clusters of officers with varying perceptions and experiences of stress. Survey results were presented to field commanders to help them in developing proactive interventions for their constituency. Case materials supplemented the empirical data. 5 data tables.
