According to the National Institute of Justice, Commonly Reported Consequences

According to the National Institute of Justice, commonly reported consequences of stress reported by police officers include: cynicism, suspiciousness, extreme aggressiveness, emotional detachment, reduced efficiency, absenteeism, early retirement, marital or family problems, health problems, drug or alcohol problems, PTSD, and suicide. For example, real threats and danger produced by external stressors such as an agitated and physically violent individual may result in an officer responding with extreme aggressiveness.
The Police Organization Providing Peer Assistance, or POPPA, was created to address police stress and family problems. However, identifying and investigating wrongdoings resulting from these problems is difficult. Police officers often protect one another from outsiders, even refusing to aid police superiors or other law enforcement officials in investigating other officers, producing a protective barrier known as the blue wall of silence, which produces the blue curtain.
This scenario focuses on how continued intense stress affects the behavior of police officers.
Yesterday afternoon, you and your partner Officer Brandon Spargiminia were out on patrol when you were called to the scene of a domestic dispute. When you arrived at the scene, a man and woman were screaming at and slapping each other. Spargiminia pulled the female away from scuffle, and you handled the male. As you were talking to the couple, the female became very agitated and leapt to once again attack her boyfriend. In the process, she nearly knocked Spargiminia over, who reacted by slamming her flat on the ground and kneeling on her while he placed her in cuffs. His reaction was forceful enough to break her ankle, and paramedics had to be called to the scene.
