Law Enforcement in Need of Anger Management Classes

A Glendale police officer will have to take anger management classes after admitting he hit a driver during an off-duty road-rage incident.

This officer accepted a plea deal Monday in connection with an amended misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace, which includes a section on fighting in public, court officials said.

Police are under a tremendous amount of stress and it's no surprise that this incident made the news. They often have few outlets to deal with their own anger and frustrations of daily life as officers. I would make the argument that all police staff should be trained in anger management. It would help them improve their coping skills both on and off the job.

Anger management skills would include learning assertive communication, empathy, forgiveness, improving self-talk, stress management and much more. Police department can even training their staff online through bundled pricing for employer anger management programs.
