Abstract
IT IS SAID THAT OFFICERS MUST NOT BE DISCOURAGED FROM EXPECTING, ACCEPTING, AND EVEN EXPRESSING THEIR NATURAL REACTIONS OF FEAR. IN ADDITION, A SURVEY IS CITED WHICH INDICATES THAT THOSE WHO FEEL THEMSELVES TO BE WELL TRAINED WILL EXPERIENCE LESS FEAR IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FOR THE RELATED TRAINING KEY DESCRIBING THE EFFECTS OF DANGER AND FEAR UPON INDIVIDUALS, SEE NCJ-35961.
