Reply to "Training for trauma informed policing"

Hello Johanna, as a psychiatrist I have been involved in ACEs- and trauma-informed care for over 15 years. I have presented overviews of ACEs research data and its implications for understanding human behavior to diverse audiences, from professional to community. I am very interested in bringing this information to law-enforcement, many of who are exposed to traumatic experiences as a result of their job. We don't have good data on prevalence of ACEs in law-enforcement samples but if armed forces samples are any indication the prevalence of ACEs might be higher among police officers than the general population. I think this topic is hugely important to build resilience among the law-enforcement workforce, and to increase their effectiveness at work. For example, by providing them with strategies to deescalate aggressive interactions and minimize the use of excessive force.

I will be happy to discuss my interest in more detail and send you my CV at your convenience.

Best,

Andres
