Police lethal force errors and stress physiology during video and live evaluation simulations
Police officers are regularly evaluated for their competency in a variety of skills related to use of force (UOF), including lethal force decision-making, which is usually tested using stressful reality-based scenarios in virtual or live formats. The current observational study fills a literature gap by examining performance (i.e., shoot/no-shoot errors) and stress physiology among 187 police officers during virtual (i.e., video-based) and live U…
Experience-Dependent Effects to Situational Awareness in Police Officers
Police work requires making suitable observations which form the basis of situational awareness (SA) of the encounter in progress. Incomplete early-stage SA (i.e., perception) can lead to errors in subsequent judgement and decision-making that can have severe consequences for performance, learning, and occupational health. SA in police contexts is still relatively understudied and requires closer examination using objective measures. The current …
Considering Objective and Subjective Measures for Police Use of Force Evaluation
In spite of significant interest in the application of police use of force (UOF) from organisations, researchers, and the general public, there remains no industry standard for how police UOF is trained, and by extension, evaluated. While certain UOF behaviours can be objectively measured (e.g., correct shoot/no shoot decision making (DM), shot accuracy), the subjective evaluation of many UOF skills (e.g., situation awareness, SA) falls to the di…
Universal Police Behaviours during Critical Incidents and Their Connection to Personality
There is currently no universal standard for training or evaluating operational police performance during critical incident simulations. Accordingly, performance is typically judged on final outcomes (i.e., shoot/no-shoot decision-making) rather than a more detailed set of essential policing skills in both research and practical settings. The current study identifies six behavioural dimensions developed by expert use of force instructors: control…
