This episode highlights an article from Calibre Press, listing 19 items that affect our decision-making abilities in critical incident stress situations. There is much value not only in identifying those items, but detailing what it means for cops today, as well as providing personal anecdote and industry insights.
What better guest to help me break it down than returning guest (3rd time now!), Seb Lavoie! Seb and I illustrate the different items from cognitive overload, memory limitations, emotional and psychological responses, miscommunications, and more. We help bring awareness not just to what this may look like on the street but with tangible takeaways so we can all get better, safer, more operationally sound.
As always, our conversations and tips can lead to building "better cops for a better community!"
