Traffic accidents

Sergeant James Williams of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, and NIJ LEADS Scholar, discusses traffic fatalities, the focus of his research while participating in the NIJ LEADS program. Sergeant Williams also addresses how the LEADS Program has benefited his career growth.

At this Research for the Real World seminar, NIJ brought together law enforcement practitioners and leading researchers in the field of stress to discuss the current research evidence and practical benefits of targeted stress-management interventions and how they can promote officer mental wellness. In addition, this gathering provided an exploration into what additional research is needed to best support officer health and wellness, potentially highlighting priority areas for future research.
