  • TIPSTAFF Volume II Issue
    WARREN COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION, INC. TIPSTAFF Volume II Issue Dear Sisters and Brothers of the Bar: It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2020 Fall edition of the Tipstaff. It is my hope that you and your families are safe and healthy in these troubling times. In the midst of this pandemic and the hostile political environment, I believe that practices and activities, such as the Tipstaff which we are able to continue and enjoy from the past, are more important than ever. Since taking the reins in June, Kate and the Board have been working diligently to prepare for the upcoming year in a way and format that has never been done before. We were able to meet in person, with proper masks and semi- social distancing, on the lawn of Morgan & Co. in September. This event was enjoyed by all who attended as we were finally able to have a bit of normalcy and see each other in person. On October 29, 2020, Kate and Maria Nowotny arranged to have Attorney James Long present a CLE on the topic of the New York Shield Act, which was attended by 20 of our members. Maria and Kate are busy preparing a CLE for December discussing the re-opening of the courts to be presented by our local justices and judges and other court staff. Upon the idea of Judge Kershko, Kate and I have worked with the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York to partner in the presentation of a CLE for volunteer assistance to pro-se litigants in foreclosure actions.

  • The Relationship Between Organisational Stressors and Mental Wellbeing Within Police Officers: a Systematic Review Amrit Purba1 and Evangelia Demou2*
    Purba and Demou BMC Public Health (2019) 19:1286 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7609-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The relationship between organisational stressors and mental wellbeing within police officers: a systematic review Amrit Purba1 and Evangelia Demou2* Abstract Background: Occupational stressors in police work increase the risk for officer mental health morbidities. Officers’ poor mental wellbeing is harmful to the individual, can affect professionalism, organisational effectiveness, and public safety. While the impact of operational stressors on officers’ mental wellbeing is well documented, no review has systematically investigated organisational stressor impacts. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess the relationship between organisational stressors and police officer mental wellbeing. Methods: Systematic review conducted following PRISMA and Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. Literature search was undertaken from 1990 to May 2017 on four databases (EBSCOHOST Medline/SocINDEX/PsycINFO/OVID Embase) and grey literature. Included articles were critically appraised and assessed for risk of bias. Narrative and evidence syntheses were performed by specific mental health outcomes. Results: In total, 3571 results were returned, and 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were published in English between 1995 and 2016, had cross-sectional study designs, spanned across four continents and covered 15,150 officers. Strong evidence of significant associations was identified for organisational stressors and the outcomes of: occupational stress, psychiatric symptoms/psychological distress, emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. The organisational stressors most often demonstrating consistently significant associations with mental health outcomes included lack of support, demand, job pressure, administrative/ organisational pressure and long working-hours. Conclusions: This review is the first to systematically examine organisational stressors and mental health in police officers.
