Manhattan, KS, USA. Burnout among police officers is well know. New findings suggest that the differences between female and police officers affects how they manage stress and may accentuate stress on the job.

When male police officers need to de-stress, they might trade war stories — but likely not with their female colleagues.

But the guys don't necessarily have it easy. They are often discouraged from showing emotion when dealing with stress and are expected to uphold the overtly masculine idea of what it means to be a police officer.
