A Glendale police officer will have to take anger management classes after admitting he hit a driver during an off-duty road-rage incident.
This officer accepted a plea deal Monday in connection with an amended misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace, which includes a section on fighting in public, court officials said.
Police are under a tremendous amount of stress and it's no surprise that this incident made the news. They often have few outlets to deal with their own anger and frustrations of daily life as officers. I would make the argument that all police staff should be trained in anger management. It would help them improve their coping skills both on and off the job.
Anger management skills would include learning assertive communication, empathy, forgiveness, improving self-talk, stress management and much more. Police department can even training their staff online through bundled pricing for employer anger management programs.

Think about an Aversion and what happens – instantly we are facing some resistance. If you are paying attention you’ll instantly notice a clutch indicating that there is something needing our attention. Larry Crane and the staff refer to “the clutch” as a pocket of negativity, ringing like a doorbell to get our attention.

Anger Can Be Positive
Although uncontrolled anger can be quite costly, when channeled properly anger can also be very positive. Among other things, anger can motivate us to work harder to accomplish our goals. This could mean playing harder on the defensive end in a basketball game, studying longer for an exam, or putting in more time when learning to play an instrument. Anger can sometimes lead to newer, higher level goals, possibly fueled by the desire to prove others wrong.
