Without appropriate professional intervention, the occupational stress associated with policing can result in two highly problematic outcomes: divorce & suicide. This project examines the issue of continuous mandatory stress management education, which does not currently exist in law enforcement, & how it will have a positive impact in large urban police agencies by 2009. The information garnered from this research is designed to be used as an organizational policy or a strategic plan for large urban law enforcement agencies.
