Although this very popular interview has nothing to do with Christmas, now can be a very challenging time for many. Here, DCI Brammer and I spoke about how important mental health is both for us as individuals but also to the people we love and serve. If we don't look after the inner mental and emotional workings of our police, they cannot function and keep us safe.

Gabrielle Salfati is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of the Investigative Psychology Research Unit at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her 25+ year career to date has been focused on serving the law enforcement and mental health practitioner community. She has developed and spearheaded initiatives to prioritize best practice in translation of scientific evidence to be applicable in practice through the development of practitioner-focused training, and trains law enforcement officers, crime analysts, forensic psychologists and other criminal justice and mental health professionals. She is part of the first group of people who emerged within the new field of Investigative Psychology, and was instrumental in its development as an international research field on the empirical analysis of violent criminal behavior. Her main areas of expertise relates to how psychology is applied to police investigations, in particular with reference to behavioral crime scene analysis, offender profiling, and linking serial crime. All of her work has focused on developing evidence-based practice tools for law enforcement and the crime analysis field, specifically as it pertains to behavioral analysis, has been done in collaboration with law enforcement agencies internationally. https://www.PoliceScienceDr.com

The legend of investigative interviews himself, Professor Ray Bull, was interviewed live by Police Science Dr Susanne Knabe-Nicol . Ray helped develop the 'PEACE' method of investigative interviewing in 1991 and very recently in putting together a UN guidance document on investigative interviewing. He's also ranked in the top 4% of scientists in the world. https://www.PoliceScienceDr.com

Ex-police officer Gareth Keyte was a very happy and successful police officer - a Public Order Commander, Initial Firearms Commander and Senior Investigating Officer, until it was not the trauma of the things he saw in the community that broke him, but how he was treated by his organisation, that made him fall. He had to take time off to deal with his mental health and then had to leave the job altogether - but he was able to climb out of that hole and start a new life with the help of coaching. We speak about mental health in policing, a massive topic at the moment, and the steps you can take to ensure you don't remain stuck in a bad situation. https://www.PoliceScienceDr.com

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

Police Science Dr will interview Prof Clifford Stott, an expert in public order policing, on how best to handle large crowds, which has been a serious issue for policing around the world recently. Clifford Stott is a Professor of Social Psychology and Dean for Research in the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Keele University. He specialises in crowd psychology and has a wide-ranging interest in understanding the role of group-level dynamics in police-citizen interactions. He currently sits on the Behavioural Science sub-committee of the UK Government Scientific Advisory Group in Emergencies and co-Chairs their Policing and Security group.   Join the free Police Science Dr email list to have these emailed to you every Tuesday.

LIVE interview with the amazing Ginny McKenna, who helps cops reclaim their live by guiding them through stress and trauma brought on by the job. She gets what these officers and staff are going through, as she's walked in their police boots herself - she was a frontline police officer for over 21 years and found herself on the brink of suicide. Today, she dedicates her life to helping those who are where she was, so that they never reach those dark places she's been.

Dr Matt Bland from Cambridge University talks about his research into domestic abuse and also the algorithms that have been created to help police predict which couples need particular attention.

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

Drawing on over 30 years' experience, Patrick argues that we need to find a new way to understand, investigate and talk about sexual crimes. He forces us all to question our own prejudices and assumptions – about both victims and perpetrators – and to question the social, criminal and judicial systems that mean that so few of these crimes ever end in convictions.
