The Briefing Room

Stress is part of the badge, but it doesn’t have to be a silent burden. In law enforcement, prevention starts with building mental resilience—through rest, fitness, and strong support systems. Just as important is spotting the signs in your team: withdrawal, irritability, or exhaustion may signal a colleague in need. By staying aware and stepping in early, officers can protect not only themselves but the strength of the unit.

For police and corrections officers, night shifts and rotating schedules are part of the job. But let’s be honest—working when the rest of the world is asleep takes a toll. Fatigue, stress, and disrupted sleep cycles don’t just affect performance on duty; they creep into your health, your family life, and your long-term well-being.

The good news? With the right strategies, you can stack the odds in your favor.
