Abstract

In this chapter, the authors draw upon a review of the empirical and theoretical literature, as well as their extensive experience developing interventions among law enforcement officers, to provide a commentary on the needs of first responder training. The chapter begins by outlining the need for intervention, highlighting the severe consequences experienced by first responders as a result of their occupational stressors. The chapter then offers a review of the potential structure and timing of first responder training. Finally, specific psychophysiological mechanisms to be targeted during training are reviewed, including summaries of the relevant evidence base supporting their utility.
