Results indicate that the documented symptoms of police occupational stress include digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, alcoholism, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and suicide. These symptoms even appear after police officers begin their careers in excellent physical health. The police stress model, a flowchart of predisposing conditions, stressful events, and consequences, is described followed by a discussion of the COP-2-COP program, which uses crisis intervention strategies in a hotline format to assist officers experiencing occupational stress. For example, COP-2-COP uses facilities and programs to provide support, safe refuge, and legal and practical advice to police officers and their families. The COP-2-COP assessment plan helps police officers develop an action plan to regain personal control and improve cognitive functioning. The research methodology involved reviewing the history of police stress studies, including intervention and treatment research on police occupational stress. Figure, references
