Chronic Sleep Deprivation and Law Enforcement; A Public Safety Crisis

Policing In America

In this episode, I speak with Professor Lois James from the Washington State University School of Nursing. Professor James has focused a large part of her scholarship on the intersection of sleep deprivation, bias, and policing. She is a brilliant researcher, fair in her methodology, and rigorous in her conclusions. Sleep-Deprivation is a national issue, but because of policing's unique role in society, the costs associated with chronically fatigued officers must be addressed.
