Abstract

This paper examines the stress in the Nigeria police force form the organizational and operational perspectives. This study uses a multi-stage technique to select the entire police formation to give a wider scope, while a random sampling method was later used to select 1000 police officers from the total of 10,000 police officers in the Edo State police command. The responses from the police officers were collated and analyzed. About 80 percent of the respondents were in uniformed policing, while 20 percent were in administration. The study found out that on the average, the tress in the Nigeria police was moderately high, with none included in operations and organization. It is concluded that the extent to which scores reported for operation and organization stress should agree with that from other states of the federation, and should be established with respect to male and female police officers as well as between officers of the other levels.
