Law enforcement requires deputies to be awake at all hours, and combined with staffing shortages and increased operational demands, the job leaves many chronically fatigued. Fatigue is a major risk factor for motor vehicle collisions and compromises critical decision-making capacity. This presentation will discuss fatigue-related risks and explore how executives can implement restorative rest and fatigue management policies to improve the safety and performance of their deputies. Panelists will include Dr. Stephen James, a sleep and performance expert from Washington State University, and Major (Ret.) Sean Moriarty, Delaware State Police, who will identify and discuss agency approaches to supporting tired cops. This presentation is provided as part of the National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety Program, supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
