In this study, the sources of stress among supervisory police officers were explored. It was found that one of the major sources of stress across all managerial levels among the police was the perception that the police service was inhibited by unnecessary bureaucratic and outside obstacles, e.g., increased paperwork, interdepartmental politics, lack of adequate planning and resources and the inability of the courts to prosecute offenders. It was also found that junior and middle supervisory police officers were adversely affected by lack of available manpower and long working hours, whereas senior officers were affected more by the conflict in maintaining positive policing as well as good community relations.
在本研究中，对警司级警官的压力源进行了探究。结果发现，在警方所有管理级别中，压力的主要来源之一是认为警务工作受到不必要的官僚主义和外部障碍的阻碍，例如文书工作增加、部门间政治、缺乏充分的规划和资源以及法院无法起诉罪犯。研究还发现，基层和中层警司级警官受到可用人力不足和工作时间过长的不利影响，而高级警官则更多地受到在维持积极警务以及良好社区关系方面的冲突的影响。
