2019冠状病毒病大流行造成了社会动荡，改变了所有社会成员的规范，但它对急救人员的影响尤其深远。执法人员被期望协调当地的关闭，鼓励社交距离，并执行呆在家里的命令，同时完成他们已经人手不足和资金不足的职责。从20多年前对艾滋病毒流行和2001年9月11日恐怖袭击的反应中，探讨了COVID-19大流行对警察压力、心理健康、复原力和不当行为的影响。据推测，COVID-19警务工作是警察的一个重要压力源，并加剧了与职业相关的一般压力和组织压力。讨论了提供官员支持的途径，并提出了对这一现象进行研究的建议。
The COVID-19 pandemic created social upheaval and altered norms for all members of society, but its effects on first responders have been particularly profound. Law enforcement officers have been expected to coordinate local shutdowns, encourage social distancing, and enforce stay-at-home mandates all while completing the responsibilities for which they are already understaffed and underfunded. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on officer stress, mental health, resiliency, and misconduct is explored drawing insight from reactions to the HIV epidemic over two decades earlier and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. COVID-19 policing is hypothesized to serve as a significant stressor for officers and compound the general and organizational stress associated with the occupation. Avenues for providing officer support are discussed and recommendations for research into the phenomenon presented.
