The second edition consolidates two decades of peer-reviewed research and training, reflecting new trends, lessons, contemporary issues, and proven tools. Drawing on insights from frontline officers recognized for their excellence, including coach officers, it introduces an Operational Readiness Framework rooted in scientific principles. This framework systematically assesses physical, technical, and mental readiness, creating a detailed police-specific profile. A comprehensive literature review informs current police preparedness practices. Mental readiness is upheld to strict, measurable standards, akin to traditional physical and technical readiness. Best practices from exceptional officers are isolated, and operational benchmarks and strategies are established. The ultimate result is to empower officers to excel in the practice of their profession.
Gold Medal Policing is indispensable for law enforcement leaders, scholars, students, and aspiring officers.
Judy McDonald is Associate Director at the McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment and Adjunct Professor in the School of Epidemiology and Public Health with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Her applied research over the past three decades has focused on understanding readiness strategies in diverse population groups working in high-risk and demanding professions where excellence carries serious life-or- death consequences. Study populations have ranged from Olympic athletes to surgeons and air traffic controllers. Her initial study with Ottawa Hospital surgeons revealed parallels between surgical and Olympic athlete mental-readiness practices, acclaimed as a landmark in the medical community. Subsequent research illustrated the need for systematic mental training in the high-stress world of air traffic control, leading to mandatory trainee courses and an "Advanced Situational Awareness Program" for seasoned controllers, flight service specialists, and trainers in Navigation (NAV) Canada. This pioneering perspective underpins her work in operational risk assessment, now successfully applied in policing, as well as other high-performance occupations such as dentistry, financial auditing, and Sherpa high-altitude guiding. McDonald extends her expertise globally, supervising, lecturing, and conducting workshops. Her efforts advance operational readiness for high-risk professions, safeguarding lives.
