An intensive trauma service evaluation for serving police officers
Policing is a job like no other, it carries a multitude of risks, particularly to psychological health. In addition to usual life stressors, an officer could see 400-600 traumatic events during an average career, contrasted with the 3-4 serious events typically thought to be experienced by civilians. To better help serving police officers, Police Care UK set up a new intensive EMDR service provision. This new intervention has been evaluated and preliminary outcomes are presented here.
