The study sought to answer: (1) What is the prevalence of\r\nofficer fatigue, and what are officers' attitudes toward it? (2) What\r\nare the causes or correlates of officer fatigue? (3) How does fatigue\r\naffect officer safety, health, and job performance? and (4) Can\r\nofficer fatigue be measured objectively? The final sample was\r\ncomprised of all sworn, nonsupervisory police officers assigned\r\nfull-time to patrol and/or community policing functions on the day\r\nthat data collection began at each of four selected sites: Lowell,\r\nMassachusetts, Polk County, Florida, Portland, Oregon, and Arlington\r\nCounty, Virginia. Part 1, Fatigue Survey Data, includes demographic\r\ndata and officers' responses from the initial self-report\r\nsurvey. Variables include the extent to which the respondent felt hot\r\nor cold, experienced uncomfortable breathing, bad dreams, or pain\r\nwhile sleeping, the time the respondent usually went to bed, number of\r\nhours slept each night, quality of sleep, whether medicine was taken\r\nas a sleep aid, estimated hours worked in a one-, two-, seven-, and\r\nthirty-day period, how overtime affected income, family relationships,\r\nand social activities, and reasons for feeling tired. Part 2,\r\nDemographic and Fatigue Survey Data, is comprised of data obtained\r\nfrom administrative records and demographic data forms. Several\r\nmeasures from the initial self-report survey are also included in Part\r\n2. Variables focus on respondents' age, sex, race, marital status,\r\nglobal score on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale, total years\r\nas a police officer assigned to any agency and current agency, and\r\ntotal years worked in current shift. Data for Part 3, FIT and\r\nAdministrative Data, were obtained from administrative records and\r\nfrom the fitness-for-duty (FIT) workplace screener test. Variables\r\ninclude a pupilometry index score and the dates, time, and particular\r\nshift (days, evenings, or midnight) the officer started working when\r\nthe pupilometry test was administered. Part 3 also includes the number\r\nof hours worked by the officer in a regular shift or in association\r\nwith overtime, the number of sick leave hours taken by the officer,\r\nand whether the officer was involved in an on-duty accident, injured\r\non duty, or commended by his/her department during a particular\r\nshift.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02974.v1", "title": "Evaluating the Effects of Fatigue on Police Patrol Officers in Lowell, Massachusetts, Polk County, Florida, Portland, Oregon, and Arlington County, Virginia, 1997-1998"}], "identifier": "3583", "issued": "2001-12-14T00:00:00", "keyword": ["community policing", "demographic characteristics", "family work relationship", "fatigue", "police officers", "police patrol", "police performance", "police safety", "sleep disorders", "working hours"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Evaluating the Effects of Fatigue on Police Patrol Officers in Lowell, Massachusetts, Polk County, Florida, Portland, Oregon, and Arlington County, Virginia, 1997-1998"}
