Retried Officers: We Need Your Help!
What Do We Need?
Nnamdi Pole, Ph.D., a Professor at The University of Michigan is studying factors associated with both positive and negative post-retirement adjustment to police work. In order to participate, you need to be a retired officer who experienced at least one serious duty-related critical incident. The study involves a lengthy questionnaire. The questionnaire, which may take several hours of your time, will be completed at your own pace in the privacy of your home. You will be paid up to $50 for your participation. All information that you provide to the study will be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
What Will Happen to the Results?
The results of the study will be used to help future generations of law enforcement officers throughout the nation. Dr. Pole has demonstrated long-term commitment to improving the occupational health of police officers by doing this kind of research. He can only continue in his endeavors through your participation. Please consider playing a role in advancing the physical and mental health of current and future police officers.
