Mental Health Crises and Trauma Resilience in Policing

The Trauma Resilience in UK Policing project is working with Surrey Police to introduce two new trauma resilience training programmes.

Principal Investigator: Dr Jess Miller

Research Theme: Science and Technology

Funding: Surrey Police, Wates Family Enterprise Trust

Project duration: July 2024 - ongoing

Project website: www.policingtrauma.sociology.cam.ac.uk

One training programme will be for call takers in force control rooms and another for the leadership team.

With a focus on cognitive resilience, the work will introduce basic neuropsychological insight into everyday policing with the central theme of mental health crises, while also addressing policing culture and the role of compassion.
