This late 1970's police training film called “Officer Stress Awareness; Externalizing Problems” is part of a three part series designed to operate as a catalyst for group discussion among active and pre-service police officers. Research shows law enforcement positions are of the most stressful occupations in relation to the overall impact on the subject’s physical and mental health as well as their personal relationships. It pinpoints major sources of stress while examining various mental defense mechanisms used by officers to cope with pressures from their positions. It shows negative side effects of the world including denial of real emotions, overly aggressive badge behavior, impersonal attitude and displaced aggression. It features officers of the Springfield Massachusetts Dept.
