Law Enforcement Academy Podcast

At some point, everyone feels stressed.  But for police officers, who are in positions of authority and making life and death decisions on a regular basis, stress can have a major negative impact on the officer’s life. One of the biggest problems for police officers is that stress can go unrecognized and unacknowledged. Officers are under constant stress and do not take the time to seek positive ways of reducing stress. Many times officers deny the stress they are experiencing for fear of being viewed as weak or not being able to handle their job. Thom and Chris discuss stress management in the law enforcement field.  Thom and Chris also discuss internal and external stressors, good and bad stress, and how to properly handle the stress through exercise and nutrition.   References Sugar Busters: https://www.webmd.com/diet/a-z/sugar-busters-what-it-is Crossfit: https://www.crossfit.com/ Law Enforcement Academy – www.lawenforcementacademy.org Law Enforcement Academy on Facebook – www.facebook.com/LEAPodcas
