Police officers have an incredibly stressful and emotionally laborious job, which can lead to burnout and issues with their work on the clock spilling over and influencing their time with their family off the clock (i.e. work-family conflict). Due to the harmful effects of stress on burnout and work-family conflict, it is important to find coping mechanisms to reduce these harmful effects. Two such coping mechanisms that were investigated in this study were emotion regulation strategies, specifically reappraisal and suppression. A sample of 81 police officers was used to test whether reappraisal buffers, and suppression strengthens, the relationship between stress and burnout and stress and work-family conflict. Ultimately, reappraisal and suppression did not significantly moderate the relationship between stress and negative outcomes. Because this study was underpowered and because of the positive practical implications of finding a coping strategy to help reduce the negative effects of stress in policing, future research should continue to investigate emotion regulation strategies as potential coping mechanisms for individuals in high-stress occupations.
