ROCHESTER — Strafford CountyDeputy Keith McKenzie and K-9 DaisyMae have been recognized by the Penn-sylvania State Police for their partici-pation in a manhunt leading to the 2014capture of a man accused of killing astate police corporal.

McKenzie and Daisy Mae helpedsearch for Eric Frein in the woodedPocono Mountain Region of Pike andMonroe counties for four days duringa massive manhunt for Frein, whichcaptured national press attention for48 days.

Frein was wanted for the Sept. 12,2014, shooting death of Cpl. Bryon K.Dickson II, an officer of the PennsylvaniaState Police, and for the attempted mur-der of Trooper Alex Douglass, anotherstate trooper in Pike County, PA.

Frein was captured by U.S. Marshalsin an open field near an unused airporthangar at Birchwood-Pocono Airparkon Oct. 30, 2014. The next day he wascharged with first-degree murder andattempted murder.

McKenzie said on Friday that thehardest part of their work was dealingwith the mountainous terrain whilebeing on high alert, knowing that thesuspect they were looking for was likelyarmed and dangerous.

“I had good coverage,” McKenzie

explained. He and Daisy Mae workedwith a SWAT team from Chicago.

This isn’t the first time that McKenzie and Daisy Mae have beenrecognized for their efforts. In June of2014, McKenzie was pinned with theOfficer Award for Bravery and a Dis-tinguished Unit Action Award for hiswork in apprehending a murder suspectin St. Francis, Maine.

It took Daisy Mae just 90 minutesto find Jesse Marquis, who had shotand killed his girlfriend. Marquis had

evaded police for six days.For their work leading up to Frein’s

capture, both McKenzie and Daisy Maeearned the Blooming Grove ServiceAward. Strafford County Sheriff DavidDubois applauded their achievementFriday afternoon during the StraffordCounty Commissioners meeting.

“We join the Pennsylvania StatePolice in offering recognition to DeputyMcKenzie and Daisy Mae. We look for-ward to a continued partnership withthe Rochester Police Department inmaking this team available to area lawenforcement,” Dubois said after themeeting.

McKenzie said it is because of terrificpartnerships between law enforcementagencies, he and Daisy Mae can continuetheir work. The Strafford County K-9Team is made possible through a jointeffort of the sheriff’s office and theRochester Police Department, whereMcKenzie is a full-time law enforcementofficer. ❑

Law enforcement personnel face chal-lenging work and experience numerouscritical incidents over the course of theircareers. Officers have to resolve suchsituations effectively (e.g., make arrests)and often respond first to the scene,thus, requiring them to also give emo-tional and physical support to victims

of crimes.Research on military veterans

deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan hasshown that extreme stress increases theincidence and early onset of chronicconditions, such as circulatory and mus-culoskeletal problems, digestive issuesand mental health illnesses, such aspost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).1Similarly, longitudinal studies in lawenforcement found that compared withcivil service workers, officers had sig-nificantly elevated levels of cortisol (ahormone related to stress), body mass,depressive symptoms, cardiovasculardisease and early mortality related to

long-term exposure to severe stressfulincidents.2

Unfortunately, such negative mentaland physical health conditions persistdespite millions of dollars spent bypolice organizations on health care andtraining to maintain officers’ performanceand well-being. Most agencies providethe necessary equipment and supportthe highest standards of tactical trainingfor their personnel. However, long-termexposure to extreme stress often depletesofficers’ energy, hence, putting themat greater health and safety risks in theline of duty.

IMPORTANT TRAININGLaw enforcement agencies should incor-porate mental preparedness traininginto tactical exercises to reduce theeffects of stress on officers. This mustinclude education about the mental andphysiological aspects of resilience andincorporate time in critical incidentexercises for focused practice in applyingcontrol techniques to better arm policeofficers to resolve adversities and dailystressors in the line of duty. Thesemental preparedness techniques giveofficers the capacity to access and applytheir training during real-world criticalincidents.3

A few seconds may mean life ordeath during critical events, highlightingthe urgency that law enforcement per-sonnel achieve clarity of thinking andquick decision-making abilities. In addi-tion, officers’ resilience can help themsave and renew energy during and afterexposure to extreme stress. Energy man-agement is critical given that officersfrequently respond to multiple incidentsper shift. Further, mental preparednessand the ability to remain present-focusedand resilient during traumatic situationscan potentially reduce the likelihoodof posttrauma conditions, such as PTSDand depression.4

Mental preparedness training stemsfrom the core principles of psychologicaland physiological responses and theirmanagement during and following high-stress encounters. This training appliesnot only to operational police officers

but anyone in a stressful profession.Law enforcement professionals,

such as police dispatchers and crimescene investigators, who experienceorganizational, as well as indirect, stressand trauma also may benefit from mentalpreparedness training. Application oftechniques and practices can be cus-tomized to a police unit’s mission, con-sidering that its members experiencetask-specific critical incidents.

The training must include certainpsychological and physiological tech-niques that law enforcement personnelcan apply shortly before and duringexposure to critical incidents or extremestressors. Further, officers must practicethese techniques in nonstress times forthem to become automatic responsesduring stressful situations.

SUPPORTING STUDIESResearch provides the only evidenceproving the effectiveness of techniquesthat enhance police officers’ perform-ance and resilience. To date literatureon evidence-based mental preparednesstraining is scarce, however, severalrelated experimental studies focus onofficers’ mental preparedness. Suchstudies contribute valuable informationbecause they enable researchers tocompare the experimental group (thosewho receive the training) with the con-trol group (individuals who do not par-ticipate).

Specifically, one study applied heart-focused breathing techniques in itsanalysis of 64 police officers undergoinga training program.5 These techniquesaim to help officers achieve psycho -physiological coherence and regulatesecretion of stress hormones in the faceof stressful situations.6 After completionof the program, officers who participatedin the study improved their judgmentand decision-making abilities anddecreased the frequency of job-relateddriving accidents and excessive forcein high-stress situations.7

In another study, researchers ap -plied a mental preparedness trainingprogram consisting of psychoeducation,relaxation and imagery with mental-skill rehearsal techniques to a groupof 18 rookie police officers.8 The par-ticipants applied the techniques as theylistened to a description of a critical

incident (e.g., domestic violence or anofficer in danger). Officers visualizedthemselves involved in the event, tryingto resolve it effectively. Before andafter the application of the mental-skillrehearsal, participants engaged in arelaxation exercise. The researchersfound that police recruits applying thelearned techniques had better job per-formance indicators and health benefits(e.g., situational awareness and heartrate reactivity) compared with thosewho did not apply the techniques.9

In a similar study involving thesame researchers, 37 police cadetsapplied relaxation training, guidedimagery and mental practice of policetactical skills in high-threat situations(e.g., armed suspect or active robbery)evaluated as such by experiencedofficers.10 Similar to their previousstudy, the researchers found that cadetswho participated in the training programhad better job performance indicatorsand improved health (e.g., fewer sleepdifficulties or less exhaustion) comparedwith the group that did not receive thetraining.11

“A few seconds may mean life ordeath during critical events, high-lighting the urgency that lawenforcement personnel achieveclarity of thinking and quick deci-sion-making abilities.”

Researchers also have conductedseveral studies among police specialforces units.12 Participants engaged inboth classroom and applied trainingon the psychological and physiologicalaspects of the stress response andlearned to incorporate control tech-niques during high-stress critical inci-

dents. These officers engaged in criticalincident scenarios (e.g., active shooteror armed domestic violence) identifiedby experienced special forces trainersas highly threatening.

The researchers examined psy-chophysiological measurements, suchas cortisol samples, heart rate variability,blood pressure and independent policetrainers’ ratings and found that thespecial forces officers who participatedimproved significantly in their deci-sion-making abilities within the scenarios(e.g., shoot or no-shoot instances), sit-uational awareness (e.g., observing andde-escalating all threats) and overall jobperformance.13

EFFECTIVE PROGRAMSLaw enforcement agencies can accessor develop practical mental preparednesstraining to benefit their officers. To thisend, the authors offer as a model a suc-cessful program that agencies can fol-low.

ComponentsIn the psychoeducational classroomsegment, officers actively learn abouttheir stress-response physiology. Throughexamples and exercises, students expe-rience what happens internally whenresponding to stress. They learn whatthe “fight-or-flight” reaction is and howit impacts their health and safety. Partici -pants discover how different levels ofstress and the resulting emotional re -sponses can impact occupational per-formance in the real world.

Officers also learn stress-responsetechniques and practice them in theclassroom. These techniques includecontrolled breathing to modulate fight-

or-flight physiology, positive mentalfocus and visualization. Participantsalso become aware of the relationshipbetween nutrition, stress and perform-ance, including basic skills regardinghow to eat to fuel the body for optimalperformance and health.

Students apply all classroom materialin training scenarios and, eventually,real-world situations. Practical trainingis integrated into the required and rel-evant scenarios (i.e., the types of encoun-ters that officers normally would face)for each specific police or special forcesunit.

For instance, students participatein use-of-force training. Based on evi-dence that a low-stress environmentis most ideal for learning and retainingnew skills, officers face the first scenarioswithout judgment from peers and super-visors. Akin to how an athlete learnsand perfects new skills, students performtheir first actions slowly and method-ically.

As each scenario begins, officersnotice physiological arousal and howit impacts their situational awareness.Then, they practice the mental focusand controlled breathing techniquesthat reduce maladaptive stress responsesand enhance resilient decisions andactions during stress. Further into thescenario, trainers work closely withofficers to maintain a state of mentalclarity and calm action until the situationis resolved.

Training becomes progressivelymore stressful and rapid while officerscontinue to practice the techniques. Tosolidify learned skills, students applythe positive mental focus and controlled

breathing exercises in occupational andnonoccupational settings.

CostsThe specific costs of implementing atraining program depend on agencysize, number of participants and lengthof training needed to accomplish desiredgoals. A resilience program could resultin a 14-percent reduction in annualhealth care costs—a total savings of$1,179 per employee per year.14

NeedAgencies have significant reasons toprovide such training to their personnel.Examples include police officers’ decisionmaking in dangerous situations, suiciderisk and declining health.

“Law enforcement agencies shouldbecome aware of the evidence-based mental preparedness train-ing that exists and is ready to beapplied more widely in policetraining.”

Recent media reports of police shoot-ings indicated a need for training. Whilesuch headlines never tell the wholestory, news reports sometimes highlightseemingly unexplainable actions by lawenforcement personnel. Departmentsspend a significant portion of their budg-ets to arm officers and train them touse weapons appropriately, assessingthe details of specific situations and themental health of the civilians with whomthey interact.

Considering all of the dollars spenton training, why do such outcomesoccur? Perhaps, officers receiving insuf-

ficient mental preparedness trainingleads to maladaptive stress responsesthat result in poor decision makingunder pressure.

The extensive stress law enforcementofficers endure places them at high riskfor suicide. According to researcherspolice suicides occurred at an estimatedrate of 126 to 143 each year between2008 and 2012 in the United Statesalone—approximately three times thenumber of officers killed by felons.15

To combat this, evidence-based mentalpreparedness and resilience trainingaddresses how to manage stressors bothon and off the job.

Officer health also has suffered;under highly stressful conditions, manychanges occur in the brain and bodythat can have a negative impact.16

Because of the intense threats in theirdaily work, many police officers areespecially vulnerable to the damagingeffects of chronic stress.17 Researchstudies have shown that law enforcementpersonnel face a higher risk of contractingheart disease, diabetes and cancer andmay die earlier than their civilian peersfrom nonwork-related injuries.18 Mentalhealth symptoms commonly associatedwith chronic stress (e.g., anxiety andPTSD) may make these physical healthconditions worse.19

CONCLUSIONLaw enforcement agencies shouldbecome aware of evidence-based mentalpreparedness training that exists andis ready to be applied more widely inpolice training. As decades of researchhave shown, simply waiting to intervene

until traumatic stress has disabled anofficer or leads to unnecessary sufferingor death is too late.

Prevention and resilience interven-tions provide promising improvementsin officer health and performance andultimately will reduce organizationalcosts resulting from rehabilitation andmissed work. However, applying evi-dence-based mental preparedness train-ing requires the establishment of researchcollaborations and initiatives betweenpolice organizations and academic psy-chologists. In this case science can servethose who serve their communities. Aslaw enforcement agencies become awareof the necessity of incorporating mentalpreparedness techniques into alreadyadvanced tactical training, they willimprove officers’ safety and healththroughout their careers.

Undeniably, police organizationsprovide their personnel with techno-logically advanced equipment, such asweapons and bulletproof vests—physicalarmor. The next step is to provide per-sonnel with the necessary techniques—“psychological armor”—that create aninvisible shield against adversities. Thepartnership between law enforcementand the applied research communityfurther can refine ever-important ques-tions. What mental preparedness tech-niques work best as police serviceevolves over time? What are the bestways to customize these techniqueswith different police units?

LEBANON — An SUV accident onInterstate 89 led to an overnight searchthat likely saved the life of a Springfieldman stranded in sub-freezing tempera -tures for 10 hours.

James Borneman, 49, was injuredand suffering from hypothermia whena New Hampshire state trooper and aLebanon police K-9 unit found himtrying to take shelter under a fallentree around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

“It’s very amazing. He definitelycovered some tough ground,” TrooperJanell Smith said Sunday.

Borneman was found about a

half-mile from where his 2003 Buick Rendezvous veered into the guardrail.Police said the vehicle rolled severaltimes while southbound on I-89 around6:30 p.m. Friday.

“There was no evidence of any driver around, but there was someblood in the vehicle, so we kept in -vestigating,” Smith said. “It looked like somebody may have picked up thedriver.”

Smith called area hospitals. Thevehicle’s owner was verified and policechecked with Borneman’s friends andrelatives. Smith and another trooperwent to his home and found no signof him.

“That kind of sparked the instinctto go back and check some more,” Smithsaid.

Smith said she and Sgt. James Stein-metz returned to the accident scene

and spotted what appeared to be ahuman body print in the snow downan embankment. There were also foot-prints along the side of a stream; thetracks stopped after about 3/4 mile.

“We had to walk so far back andyou could only see what was directlyin front of your flashlight. There wasa lot of ground to cover initially,” Smithsaid.

Lebanon police officer John Traceyand his K-9 partner, Briggs, joined Smithin the search, which was detoured toan overpass off Exit 16 so the searcherscould get across the stream safely.

Briggs was able to pick up Borne-man’s trail on the other side of thestream; Borneman was found about 30minutes later.

“The K-9 reached him first, so thedog kind of nudged and brought himback to consciousness,” Smith said. “Itwas pretty crazy seeing him wake up,but it was a great feeling.”

Smith said Borneman knew basicinformation such as his name, birthdayand what day it was.

“But he had no idea how he endedup there,” Smith said.

A unit from the Hanover FireDepartment extended a long ladderover the stream so Borneman could betaken across to a waiting ambulance,which rushed him to Dartmouth-Hitch-cock Medical Center.

Smith said the accident is still underinvestigation; she hopes to talk soonwith Borneman.

“Last I heard he was doing welland recovering,” she said. “I’ve beenin touch with the family. We’re givingthem time just so he can recover andbe with his family.”

HAMPTON — Five members of Seacoastarea police departments were com-mended for their service at Wednesday’sthird annual Night of Heroes dinner,held in honor of late Greenland PoliceChief Michael Maloney.

Portsmouth officers Aaron Stacyand Andy Nitschelm, Seabrook officerJustin Murphy and York dispatcherNathaniel Higgins were each given theHero in Action Award, while PortsmouthDetective Sgt. Tom Grella was giventhe Career Excellence Award.

The Night of Heroes, held this yearat the Ashworth by the Sea Hotel, wasorganized by the Chief Michael MaloneyMemorial Fund, a group created afterMaloney was killed in action in 2012during a drug raid in Greenland. Mal-oney, 48, served more than 25 years inlaw enforcement. The Maloney Memo-rial Fund is dedicated to supportingfirst responders and their families.

Murphy received his award alongwith the members of the SalisburyPolice Department, Chief ThomasFowler, Sgt. Robert Roy and officerMichael Alder. On May 15, Salisburyreceived a call about a domestic assaultwith a knife and possible stabbing.While heading to the scene, Roy iden-tified the suspect driving in a vehicleand radioed Alder to pull him over. In reaction, the suspect intentionallycrashed his vehicle into Alder’s cruiserand got out of his car, wielding a machetein one hand, a large knife in the other.

Murphy heard about the incidenton the radio and drove to the scene.There, he fired his Taser at the suspect.The Taser failed, and the suspectcharged. Fowler and Adler fired theirweapons, killing the suspect instantly.

Murphy said it meant a lot to receivethe Hero in Action Award for his partin the dangerous encounter. “I’m reallyhonored,” Murphy said. “It’s just greatto have that. It really feels good.”

Higgins was recognized for talkinga man out of committing suicide onSept. 5. The man Higgins spoke withwas armed with an AR-15 and threat-ened to shoot any police officer whoapproached him. Higgins convincedthe man to walk out of the building hewas in without his rifle. As he walkedout, the man brandished a knife, attimes held it to his throat, asking policeto shoot him. Eventually, he droppedthe weapon and was taken into policecustody.

Stacy was honored for running intoa smoke-filled building after being firston scene to an early morning March 4fire call. The caller told 911 that herdisabled husband was unable to getout of the building on his own. Stacy

entered, searched the home before find-ing the man in his bed. Stacy assistedthe man into his wheelchair and gothim out of the house to safety.

Nitschelm received his award forresponding to a man who had fallenfrom a ladder July 20 and needed emer-gency medical treatment.

Grella was honored for maintainingstrong police work while remainingclosely connected to youth in his com-munity. He served as the president forBig Brothers, Big Sisters of the GreaterSeacoast for many years and remainsactive on their advisory committee. He was also a board member of Pro-Portsmouth for nine years, a nonprofitorganization dedicated to celebratingand sustaining Portsmouth’s arts, cultureand history.

Grella said he appreciates receivingsuch an award, considering how closethe Seacoast law enforcement commu-nity was to Maloney.

“It’s quite an honor to be recognizedby such a great organization,” Grellasaid. “Mike Maloney was a friend to alot of us, he was a mentor to a lot of us,and he had a very distinguished careerthat was cut so short… to be honoredby the organization is quite an honorto me.”

The Night of Heroes ceremonyserves as an opportunity to honor Mal-oney as well as the officers who receiveawards that night. Many of the peoplewho attended knew Maloney well.

“It’s a great way to commemorateMike and the sacrifice he made and tokeep his legacy moving forward byrewarding first responders,” said Hamp-ton Police Chief Richard Sawyer. “It’sa great way to commemorate Mike’slegacy.”

and Principal at LAwS Communications

March 2016Policechiefmagazine.org

Social media tools offer police depart-ments a way to listen to their citizensand hear what is being said about thedepartment, crime, the quality of lifeand events. They also offer the depart-ment the ability to shape the conver-sation. With a well-planned strategyfor using social media tools, departmentscan actually increase control of theirreputation.

Law enforcement agencies aregradually coming to use social mediatools, but some still find it strange.Social media refers to the Internet-based tools that people use to interactwith each other. Making sense of allthe available Internet tools and methodscan seem daunting, but with a littleknowledge, a strategy, a departmentpolicy and some determination, lawenforcement agencies stand to gainsignificant benefits by putting theirdepartments into the world of Web2.0.

In London, England, during theG20 protests in April 2009, journalistsused Twitter to report what was hap-pening among the crowd. The Britishpolice learned from this experience.Later that year at an English DefenceLeague protest in Birmingham, thepolice used Twitter to talk to protestersand point them to the department’sWeb site and YouTube sites. Those sitesfeatured officers telling the protestersthe tactics the police would be usingand also informing the protesters wherethey could peacefully protest.1

Implementing a social media planhas nine steps:

1. Have a StrategyPlan which tools (Twitter, Facebook,WordPress, MySpace, YouTube, blogs,message boards, podcasts, Ning, Blip.tvand so on) to use and how to use them.Each tool has its own attributes, advan-tages and disadvantages, so use morethan one.

Determine who will be responsiblefor managing these tools and how manyhours to allot for the work. It is essentialto plan how to use the tools to enhancethe department’s message and how thetools will relate to each other. Establishmeasurements and benchmarks tomeasure achievement. Develop a time-line for rolling out the new media andhave a plan for training all officers onthe new media.

2. Create a Department PolicyA social media policy is essential, dueto the legal risks and management con-cerns associated with participating insocial media. To work, Web 2.0 mustbe interactive and, hence, will encountersome unexpected risks. For example,if an advertisement shows up on adepartment’s fan page, how does thedepartment avoid the implied productendorsement? How should the depart-ment handle rude or libelous comments?Are friends or fans of the department’ssites online information subject to open-records laws?

Sites such as Facebook and Twitterhave their own terms of use and whenusers—even police departments—signup, they must agree to abide by thoserules.

Some models are available to assistpolice departments. The state of Utahhas a comprehensive set of guidelinesfor using its 27 blogs, over 100 Twitteraccounts and more than 860 onlineservices.2 Governing.com reports thatthe federal government has reachedagreement with Facebook, YouTube,Flckr, Vimeo and blip.tv, resolving thefederal agencies’ concerns about lia-bility, endorsement, freedom of infor-mation and governing laws.3 Also, theNational Association of State ChiefInformation Officers is creating guide-lines for governments.

Encourage officers to use depart-ment-sanctioned social media tools. Itis important to issue guidelines describ-ing what is acceptable on the depart-ment’s sites, as well as guidelines out-lining how officers should behave onnon-department-sanctioned social mediaapplications.

3. Assign StaffWhile these tools cost nothing to use,the cost of assigning personnel to manageand work with the tools remains. Despitethe cost, the more individuals in thedepartment working the media toolseach day and posting interesting, relevantand timely information, the better theresults.

Someone has to maintain the contentflow. Fans or followers need to knowthe department is serious about giving

them useful information. At a minimum,one person overseeing the entire programneeds to plan, depending on departmentsize, one to four hours per day, spreadover the day—including weekends—tomonitor and manage the content goingthrough the department’s social mediaprogram. That does not necessarilymean that person is the same one whocreates all the content. Ideally, otherofficers at all levels will post content.

4. Technology Is Not the AnswerThe site or tool must be about the con-tent. The department should engagein social media only when it can reg-ularly provide content. Until then, itis best to wait. Just being on any ofthese platforms is not enough. As coolas the technologies are, it always comesback to the content.

5. Abandon FearOne of law enforcement’s biggest con-cerns about social media tools is thattoo much information about the depart-ment will get out. However, using socialmedia tools allows the department’svoice to be heard, revealing the agency’spersonality and culture from the inside.For example, the Bellevue, Nebraska,Police Department shares informationvia Twitter, Facebook and other socialmedia sites. The department encouragesthe school resource officers and detec-tives to keep up with the department’snetworking sites. The officers knowthat functioning effectively means theymust be able to communicate as fastas they can by whatever means possible.All 93 police officers in Bellevue cantweet. “It’s neat for citizens to see that
