“…In a forthcoming scoping review, Marston et al (2020) demonstrate the paucity in contemporary literature surrounding the design, use and deployment of specific technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth) apps, targeting ESPs, specifically police personnel and support staff. Conversely, the Blue Light Wellbeing Framework (Hesketh & Williams, 2017) has been designed with the objectives of health and wellbeing provision for both uniformed and support staff. A web portal -Oscar Kilo (OK), deployed for the National Police Wellbeing Service (NPWS) -comprises of a set of independent standards, aimed at police personnel and ESPs, and affords organisations and police forces the opportunity to audit and benchmark themselves against this framework.…”

Video games are often thought of as trite activities for younger generations. However, research in game studies over the last few decades have revealed that games can be valuable tools for growth and connection, particularly among older generations. Exploring the ways digital games can be used as tools for connection has gained increased attention in recent months with global quarantines as a result of COVID-19. This article reviews the research that has examined the utility of digital games for older adults, focusing specifically on the ways in which games can be tools for social connectedness and psychological healing for older adults and intergenerationally. Special focus will be placed on the role games can play for post-traumatic stress among first responders.

“…Specifically, officers' negative coping strategies (e.g., avoidance, self-criticism) (Knowles and Bull, 2003 ) and lack of work-related effective stress management (Mostert and Rothmann, 2006 ) essentially decreased their wellbeing. On the other hand, balanced workload, supportive relationships by peers and supervisors, and sense of self-control appear to reverse the egregious impact of work-related stress on officers' wellbeing (Tomyn et al, 2015 ; Hesketh et al, 2016 ). Those literature findings may support future research and policy programs in trauma prevention as well as wellbeing promotion among police officers.…”

“…make discretionary effort). Importantly, emerging research shows a relationship between well-being, engagement and discretionary effort in police officers (Hesketh et al, 2016). In summary, the Hesketh et al (2016) research shows that where police officers feel they have better job conditions, they are prepared to increase their discretionary efforts.…”

An on-line survey (N=1776) was conducted with support staff to explore both the type and incidence of sexual harassment within the police working environment and the explanatory value of known antecedent factors. Uni-variate results indicated highest levels of sexual harassment were associated with what has been termed sexual 'banter', reported by three quarters of those surveyed, with a diminishing level of exposure to more serious types of harassment. Respondents reported adverse impacts whether sexual harassment experienced as a target or bystander. Multivariate analyses found statistically significant associations between perceived levels of organisational justice and confidence in the organisation's ability to deal with its occurrence and two types of sexual harassment. Having established a better understanding of salient risk factors the discussion identifies implications for organisational preventative interventions.
