Tired cops: The importance of managing police fatigue
Police fatigue is a common and potentially lethal problem that largely has been ignored until now.
In Tired Cops, Bryan Vila, Ph.D., a prominent police researcher with 17 years of law enforcement experience, reports important findings from his NIJ-sponsored research with PERF on police fatigue. Vila explores potential links between fatigue and officer accidents, injuries, illnesses and misconduct.
The PERF publication, supported by the National Sleep Foundation, also provides police executives with the background they need to start managing fatigue, and gives officers and their families insight into this long overlooked occupational hazard. This book is recommended for agencies reviewing their shift work, overtime and other problems exacerbated by the events of September 11, 2001.
