The study shows that officers are more likely to suffer long-term mental
and physical consequences due to the daily stress of their work.
The study,
which considered the wellbeing of Buffalo Police Department members over a
five-year period, found strong links between the stress of police activity and
sleeplessness, suicide and obesity in later life.
Dr
Almuth McDowall, a Chartered Psychologist said: "This US research resonates with our own research here
in the UK .
The police has been having a bad press lately, but people forget that officers
and staff do a demanding and often difficult job day in day out.
"An
example is PC Ian Dibell who sacrificed his own life to deal with an incident a
few days ago. The job can be inherently dangerous, and cut backs in numbers
have meant that demands on individuals have increased.
"Frontline
officers are particularly at risk for stress and burnout, but also at risk for
work-family conflict. The welfare of the Police must remain a key concern as
the effects of the spending review take hold.”
The Bowen Technique is a natural,
drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can help stress and
sleeping problems.
Rather than 'making' the
body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment and make the
changes it requires.
No hard-tissue manipulation or force is needed or used.
Between each set of moves,
the body is allowed to rest for a few minutes, to allow it to absorb the
information it has received and initiate the healing process.
Bowen is known for its
soothing qualities for physical complaints; however it is an extremely relaxing
experience that can have many emotional benefits too.
One client said: “I
heartily recommend the Bowen Technique to anyone who wants to remember how it
feels to wake up refreshed; looking forward to the new day knowing you can deal
with whatever it may bring.”
