Hyper-vigilance biological rollercoaster correct answers • Hypervigilance is the elevated
alertness of surroundings required of law enforcement officers for survival. It is viewing the
world from a threat-based perspective having the mindset to see the events unfolding as
potentially hazardous. It is constantly considering the "what if" that is necessary for officer
survival. Hypervigilance is key to officer safety. This heightened arousal is usually considered a
pleasant state and is often missed when off duty.
• When officers are off duty, the other side of the hypervigilant rollercoaster occurs and may
experience extreme fatigue, detachment, isolation, reduction in sensory input, emotional
withdrawal as well as a withdrawal from activities. This occurs with the throttling back of the
Sympathetic NS and the activation of the Parasympathetic NS.
• Work peers see the officer alert and energetic but the family sees their family member tired,
needing to withdraw, often not talkative or engaged. This can cause problems in personal
relationships.
• The gradual reduction in outside interests, hobbies and relationships combined with an over
focus on the importance of the job to the point where the officer's primary identity is work which
can be a set up for an imbalance that is vulnerable to the ravages of stress.
