L’objectif
We hypothesized that officers with more positive attitudes and practices would be more likely to report the perceived support of their supervisors.
Constatations/points à retenir
Officers who referred people to social services were more likely and officers who broke syringes were less likely to report perceived supervisor support compared to officers who did not engage in these practices. Officers who believed: MOUD reduced criminal activity, “referring people who use drugs to social services is part of my job”, and “laws that treat addiction as a public health problem make my job easier”, were more likely to report perceived supervisor support. Beliefs that drug addiction is a disease, laws that treat addiction as a public health problem make their job easier, and talking to other law enforcement officers about infectious diseases were not significantly associated with perceived supervisor support.
