Home Team Journal: Issue 5

Law enforcement is a particularly stressful job. Firstly, there are operational factors such as exposure to physical risks. Then there are organisational factors such as time pressure, public pressure and limited resources. What helps officers “bounce back” after a stressful event?

In the cover story of this issue of the Home Team Journal, “Organisational Predictors of Stress and Resilience of Police Officers: A Singapore Perspective”, Dr Gabriel Ong of  the Home Team Behavioural Sciences Centre shares his ideas on organisational interventions that could boost the resilience of police officers.

Readers interested to find out more about other areas of the Home Team’s work would be keen to read up on articles on money laundering, the Singapore passport, evidence-based rehabilitation and contemporary drug policies. The contributors have distilled complex issues into articles that are engaging and easy-to-read.
