Being a police officer during these trying times is exasperating to say the least. Police officers require that they have specific skills to maintain positive and healthy attitudes with a variety of people most of whom are in trauma or crisis. Sometimes, there are situations that require they risk their own lives to save the life of a person who is trying to do them harm. The media and accountable for changes they may not have been made aware of as of yet. While officers are most definitely strong and dedicated people, the erosion of a lack of public support, unwarranted generalized allegations, lack of respect, conflicting mandates (to say a few) can cause an increase in officer anger. This anger needs to be modulated while the officer conducts police business. Understanding anger and learning how to manage it is imperative.
