Overview

Join Dr. Stephen James as he presents groundbreaking research demonstrating how Police and Sherriff departments can leverage data analytics to predict and prevent performance failures caused by officer fatigue. Drawing from his work with Seattle PD, Chicago PD, and Delaware State Police, Dr. James will show how sophisticated fatigue prediction algorithms can identify at-risk officers before critical incidents occur.

This presentation bridges the gap between wellness initiatives and hard data, demonstrating measurable outcomes that matter to city leadership: a 45% reduction in officer-involved collisions, a reduction in PTSD symptoms, and significant decreases in citizen complaints. Dr. James will share insights from his analysis of Delaware State Police's fatigue policy, which requires coding officers who exceed work hour limits in their CAD/RMS system, and discuss how major cities can implement similar evidence-based fatigue management protocols.

Attendees will learn how to build the business case for fatigue management systems, including ROI calculations showing reduced liability, workers' compensation claims, and improved officer retention. The presentation will include specific implementation strategies for large agencies, policy templates, and integration approaches with existing technology infrastructure. This data-driven approach to officer wellness represents the future of evidence-based policing, where predictive analytics protect both officers and communities.

This presentation will be particularly insightful for Police/Sherriff Command Staff, PD Wellness Coordinators, as well as Risk Managers and HR Directors.
