It highlights that stressful triggers can include death of a partner in the line of duty, unknown emergency calls, routine reporting, and post-shooting trauma, while many stress programs fail because

fight toughest  \u003Cbr>Researchers recognized stress in the  \u003Cbr>general population in the mid-1960s,but  \u003Cbr>it was not until 10 years later that  \u003Cbr>they identified the special elements of  \u003Cbr>stress in police officers,according to  \u003Cbr>the director of one stress management  \u003Cbr>program for police.  \u003Cbr>JAMES D.SEWELL,PhD,director,man-  \u003Cbr>agement and planning,Florida Department  \u003Cbr>of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles,  \u003Cbr>Tallahassee,told EHE stress affects  \u003Cbr>police officers more than it does most  \u003Cbr>employees.Those officers,he says,  \u003Cbr>suffer from the same stress that affects  \u003Cbr>most people,but they also experience  \u003Cbr>other types of job-related stress.  \u003Cbr>\"When you are dealing with life-  \u003Cbr>threatening situations,such as police  \u003Cbr>do,that [causes]a type of stress that  \u003Cbr>most other workers do not realize,\"he  \u003Cbr>says.  \u003Cbr>Life events scale for police  \u003Cbr>In 1967,researchers Thomas H.Holmes  \u003Cbr>and Richard H.Rahe published their so-  \u003Cbr>cial readjustment scale that became the  \u003Cbr>standard yardstick for measuring stress,  \u003Cbr>Sewell says.But it was not until 1980  \u003Cbr>that researchers complled a similar list  \u003Cbr>for police.  \u003Cbr>The Holmes-Rahe scale consists of 43  \u003Cbr>critical life events which may cause  \u003Cbr>stress.Topping the list is the death of  \u003Cbr>a spouse,which is given a value of 100.  \u003Cbr>Other events ranging from divorce to  \u003Cbr>going on a vacation are ranked and given  \u003Cbr>a value for how much stress they cause.  \u003Cbr>The list of critical occupational  \u003Cbr>life events for police has 144 entries,  \u003Cbr>Sewell explains.Topping that list is   |  enemy:Job-related stress  \u003Cbr>the death of a partner in the line of  \u003Cbr>duty,which is given a stress value of  \u003Cbr>100.The list includes such situations  \u003Cbr>as dealing with unknown trouble calls  \u003Cbr>and completing a routine report.  \u003Cbr>Also high on the list of stressful  \u003Cbr>experiences for police officers is  \u003Cbr>shooting someone in the line of duty.  \u003Cbr>Sewell says that stress programs for  \u003Cbr>police officers should emphasize treat-  \u003Cbr>ing post-shooting trauma and other unex-  \u003Cbr>pected life erises.  \u003Cbr>\"Ne tell our troops to forget John  \u003Cbr>Wayne and Gary Cooper.They are going to  \u003Cbr>feel human emotions after shooting some-  \u003Cbr>one or reporting to the scene of a wreck

\u003Cbr>recognized in the early 1970s,few  \u003Cbr>police departments are doing adequate  \u003Cbr>jobs of teaching police officers about  \u003Cbr>stress and helping them to cope with it,
