Animal Law Enforcement/Control Officers are increasingly impacted by the dangerous and demanding nature of the profession. Over the past several years, officers are contending with a new aspect of physical threats, increased health and safety risks, and uncertainty.  In order to tackle this new landscape and stay safe, officers, supervisors, and leaders need to recognize they can strategically combat the impacts of stress by implementing some basic coping tools while in the midst of stress.  Learn to develop the necessary skills and apply proper life changes to create resiliency to stress.
