abstract="Law enforcement officers (LEOs) work in highly stressful conditions. The protective police culture reinforces social isolation that increases stress. For the LEO, the major sources of stress are: The ambiguous framework in which discretionary decisions are made; the danger of dealing with lawbreakers; public suspicion and disdain; and the lack of community and organizational support. The elevated level of stress can lead to the LEOs experiencing burnout, alcoholism and substance abuse, marital discord, depression, suicide, and a host of other personal problems. Practical suggestions are offered regarding how the family therapist can implement interventions with LEOs and their family members. Copyright © Taylor & Francis LLC.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
