    Interview with PC Andrew Harris, who might possibly be the UK's most effective cop! Andrew managed to reduce violence and disorder by 70% (!) by being a uniformed presence on mental health wards that wanted more police support to protect their staff and patients. Bedfordshire Police are working with local mental health services and these services are very cooperative with Andrew, as the project has been so incredibly effective at reducing incidents. Andrew is approachable both to patients and staff, he enables patients to come and talk to him when they are frustrated and to talk things through rather than reacting without thinking. Andrew gets the patient to reflect on their decision-making and their behaviour, and many incidents have been prevented that way before they even took place. https://www.PoliceScienceDr.com

    This is a LIVE interview with Detective Chief Inspector Ryan Brammer, Bedfordshire Police (UK). We talk about the changes he made as a person and as a police officer that had immediate impacts on his wellbeing and his career. He had become desensitised, fell out of love with policing and had to learn the 'softer skills' to break out of this dark place. DCI Ryan Brammer talks about how he dug himself out of a mental and emotional low, following a breakdown with symptoms akin to a heart attack.  He used his time off work to regroup, refocus, and to do a full-scale review of himself. When he went back to work, he was functioning better than ever. Ryan talks about the importance of working on your inner self so that you can function as a cop. https://www.PoliceScienceDr.com
