Abstract
Police tactical teams, referred to in Canada as Emergency Response Teams (ERT), are a specialized team of police officers who receive additional training, equipment, and support to mitigate dangerous, high-risk, life-threatening, and violent calls for service general duty officers may be challenged to mitigate effectively. Researchers suggest repeated and over-exposure to intentional acts of violence or elevated levels of aggression can lead to experiences (or symptoms) of anxiety, depression, hostility, burnout, and sleeping problems. Yet, very little research reveals the potential mental wellness of ERT members resultant from their public safety role. As media, academics, and stakeholders continue to express concerns regarding police militarization (both for and against), and research continues to dispute ERT normalization, police militarization, or ERT deployments, little evidence has unpacked the potential mental health implications resulting from ERT membership. To do so, the current study uses a scoping review to analyze the state of the literature to reveal how police ERTs are likely to experience stress. Findings from the current article suggest a serious dearth in Canadian and qualitative literature surrounding police ERT wellness and concludes with a discussion on directions for future qualitative research in Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
