Met looks into stress

The Metropolitan Police Service is to launch a major stress audit to
investigate the full impact of the problem on its staff, and develop a plan to
fight back. The Met will survey about 10,000 officers and civilian staff to
assess how much impact stress is having on the force. It hopes to implement a
stress management pro-gramme by the New Year.
