“…Model A was fit using maximum-likelihood estimation (Kline, 2010), which produces robust results from normally distributed data (Satorra & Bentler, 1994) and allows for use of a dichotomous exogenous variable such as BWCs. Data are distributed normally, with no skewness or kurtosis observed.…”

Police Body-Worn Cameras: Effects on Officers’ Burnout and Perceived Organizational Support

Police departments in the United States are rapidly adopting body-worn cameras (BWCs). To date, no study has investigated the effects of BWCs on police officers themselves, despite evidence suggesting negative effects of electronic performance monitoring on employee well-being. Police officers already experience higher levels of burnout than other professions. We hypothesize that the intense surveillance of BWCs will manifest in how police officers perceive the organizational support of their departments and will increase burnout. We test these hypotheses using data from patrol officers (n ¼ 271) and structural equation modeling. We find BWCs increase police officer burnout, and this effect is statistically different from zero. We also find that BWCs decrease officers' perceived organizational support, which mediates the relationship between BWCs and burnout. Greater perceived organizational support can blunt the negative effects of BWCs. Our study is the first to situate effects on officers at the center of BWC literature.

“…Nowadays, the interest in this topic has grown all over the world since evidence shows that it is associated with negative job consequences such as absenteeism, presentism, turnover, negative health outcomes such as insomnia and sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, impaired job performance, fatigue, irritability and frustration, cynical attitudes, professional inefficacy, depersonalization, neglect, withdrawal from work, diminished professional efficacy and poor quality of life [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. In Mexico, labor regulations recently stablished psychosocial factors, including burnout, as a job risk that should be prevented by organizations, or high penalties could be applied.…”

No previous studies in Mexico have been found that jointly analyze physical and leisure activities as variables related to mental health in police officers. This paper presents research on burnout in Mexican Police officers. The question it answers is: is there any association of burnout with physical and leisure activities and personal profile? A total of 276 police officers (87% men and 13% women) participated. To obtain information, the Spanish Burnout Inventory and the Operational Police Stress questionnaires were used. A cross sectional study design was utilized with tests of validity and reliability, goodness of fit, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of k-means clusters. Results showed that a high number of policemen had high prevalence of burnout and a high level of mental exhaustion, and that exercise was positively and significantly related to lower burnout risk. Men showed higher risk than women. Results should be considered to improve interventions and occupational health practices in the police force. This paper improves understanding of burnout among policemen and the importance of exercise and leisure activities to alleviate burnout.

“…The PHQ-4 appears to be a psychometrically-sound screening questionnaire for mood and anxiety disorders [ 39 , 65 ]. The PHQ-4 has been used in a sample of police officers as part of an investigation of the relationship between job demands and the development of emotional exhaustion, depression, and anxiety; however, the only measure of reliability reported from the policing sample was Cronbach’s α [ 40 ].…”

Brief mental health disorder screening questionnaires (SQs) are used by psychiatrists, physicians, researchers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals and may provide an efficient method to guide clinicians to query symptom areas requiring further assessment. For example, annual screening has been used to help identify military personnel who may need help. Nearly half (44.5%) of Canadian public safety personnel (PSP) screen positive for one or more mental health disorder(s); as such, regular mental health screenings for PSP may be a valuable way to support mental health. The following review was conducted to (1) identify existing brief mental health disorder SQs; (2) review empirical evidence of the validity of identified SQs; (3) identify SQs validated within PSP populations; and (4) recommend appropriately validated brief screening questionnaires for five common mental health disorders (i.e., generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive depression (MDD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol use disorder). After reviewing the psychometric properties of the identified brief screening questionnaires, we recommend the following four brief screening tools for use with PSP: the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (screening for MDD and GAD), the Brief Panic Disorder Symptom Screen—Self-Report, the Short-Form Posttraumatic Checklist-5, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption.
