The influence of weapons

Overview

repare a 150-250-word response in which you address the following:

  • Based on your reading, how do law enforcement officers feel about their weapons? What type of challenges are posed by these feelings to the counseling process? How would age, ethnicity, culture, gender effect a first responder with regard to their weapon? For example, do you think a female police officer or a short male police officer would be more likely to shoot a suspect? How do you feel this would influence your ability to counsel a law enforcement officer?
