The selection process for law enforcement officers includes an interview, situational tests, and psychological tests. As in most professions, officers also participate in annual continuing education programs.  While there is a need for updated training for officers, researchers have also recognized the need to study police behaviors. Recently, researchers have created a mobile electroencephalogram (EEG) to monitor brain activity of officers when put into stressful situations. Read about the study here. Now locate a news article that discusses how police officers are trained to handle stressful situations. Given the information you found, how does your article interpret the research study? Your paper should be no more than two (2) pages and should include an APA citation for the article analyzed.
