Law enforcement is inherently a high-pressure profession. Police officers must routinely make tough decisions, often under extreme stress and/or facing threat of harm. The Center for BrainHealth, part of The University of Texas at Dallas, and its Brain Performance Institute are collaborating to provide programs to help officers who serve on the front lines of the city of Dallas.
By equipping them with brain health-enhancing tools, the Center for BrainHealth and its Brain Performance Institute will aid officers in tactical decision-making, creative, real-time problem-solving and down-regulating emotional response to stress.
“With this work, we hope to not only improve and positively affect the lives of the men and women in blue but also contribute to the body of neuroscience research, advancing the study of brain health among police officers and other first responders.” - Dr. Leanne Young, executive director of the Brain Performance Institute
