What must be done to reduce or alleviate the role of conflict in policing?
I believe that the conflict in policing exists on many different levels and in some way always will. The people expect so much from officers and rightly so, they have taken a job which is dangerous and at times very isolating. Police have a duty to preserve the peace, protect lives and property. Along with all of these obvious responsibilities the police also have to cover themselves. By that I mean liability issues, internal conflict, external conflict, the more I study officers the more gratitude I have for these special people because I don’t envy their job one bit. The public has the image of a police officer as someone chasing down criminals or making the big busts, but actually the officer is far more complex than just that. The officer of the law today is a counselor a fellow citizen trying to help hopefully and spends a good amount of time doing paperwork. Conflict resolution is part of the officer’s job, I can’t think of a whole lot of things that would make conflict not a part of an officer’s job. As far as alleviating stress proper training could absolutely make the officer’s job easier to deal with.
