“…Larger agencies (those with 500 or more sworn officers) were somewhat less likely 16 to formally ask officers to reduce their proactive enforcement activities (although these agencies make up the smallest number of responses). (Interestingly, a recent study by Nielson et al (2022) found that self-initiated proactivity for patrol increased after COVID began in Houston, Texas).…”

“…Like much of the U.S., the studied city saw a substantial increase in violent crime through the remainder of 2020 and 2021. Further, there were rapid increases in the number of officers voluntarily leaving large agencies (Mourtgos et al, 2022a), as well as significant changes in call response times and the distribution of officer activity (Mourtgos et al, 2022b;Nielson et al, 2022). We address these measurement challenges by constructing each outcome as a rate per felony arrest, using three rate variables to test our hypotheses: the rate of officer injury per felony arrest, the rate of subject injury per felony arrest, and the rate of subject resistance per felony arrest.…”

“…This has been reinforced by Stogner et al (2020), whereby they provide that police officers reactions to situations are likely to be disproportionate to the situation itself, which as a result, can led to compounding stressors and negative coping behaviours. This highlights the need to be aware that the mental health of police officers was under significant pressure, and there was likely a disconnect between police officers and families, because during the lockdowns, families would not have been able to grasp the full understanding of COVID-19 and its impacts on police (Neilson et al , 2020). As such, research illustrates that domestic violence increased substantially during Covid-19 lockdowns due to financial pressures, increased time between perpetrator and victim and perpetrator trying to gain control of an uncontrollable situation (Stogner et al , 2020).…”
