Maintaining their health and functional capacity is essential for individual wellbeing and effective service delivery. However, much of the literature treats these personnel, including police, as a homogeneous group, limiting understanding of role-specific risk processes. Emerging evidence indicates that different roles involve distinct stressors, organizational contexts, and coping demands. The present study examined role-specific differences in post-traumatic stress symptoms and coping strategies among frontline and tactical police officers to clarify mechanisms of distress and inform targeted interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Operational stress, coping strategies, PTSD symptomatology, and alcohol use were assessed via self-report questionnaires among 178 (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f24) active-duty police officers, including Canadian frontline officers (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f124;\n                      <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u202f=\u202f32.5) and tactical officers (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f54;\n                      <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u202f=\u202f34) from Finland (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f44) and Canada (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f10).

Frontline officers did not endorse greater use of coping strategies, suggesting reduced coping variability. Limited flexibility in matching coping responses to high intensity, low controllability stressors may contribute to elevated distress in frontline roles. These findings highlight the importance of examining occupational subgroups within policing to inform role specific prevention and health intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1799457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]],"date-time":"2026-05-28T06:19:24Z","timestamp":1779949164000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Coping strategies and post traumatic stress injury symptoms differ between tactical and frontline police officers: implications for health and public safety"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Patrick","family":"Fahim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Toronto at Mississauga","place":["Mississauga, ON, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Jani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Toronto at Mississauga","place":["Mississauga, ON, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loridee","family":"De Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Toronto at Mississauga","place":["Mississauga, ON, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judith P.","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Toronto at Mississauga","place":["Mississauga, ON, Canada"]},{"name":"Affiliated Faculty, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto","place":["Toronto, ON, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"466","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqv060","article-title":"Occupational stress, anxiety and coping strategies in police officers","volume":"65","author":"Acquadro Maran","year":"2015","journal-title":"Occup.
