Recent research has shown that there are four primary contributors to serious distress in law enforcement officers: long hours, high stress, effort-reward imbalance, and overcommitment. These factors—while often outside an officer’s control—are sometimes the unfortunate cost of working in a high-demand occupation where fewer people are signing on than in previous years.

But what can we control? The way we think about these stressors.

Instead of focusing on what’s out of our hands, let’s shift our attention to what we can influence. Or, as we say in Tactical Longevity Language: “DON’T FEED THE WEEDS!” 🌾🚫

What we can control is choosing is to focus our energy on what gives us something back.
