Summary
The International Performance Resilience and Efficiency Program (iPREP) uses HRV biofeedback to train police and tactical operators in stress management, now implemented across North America and Europe.
Methods
10 years of applied research in law enforcement settings
Key Findings
- Five-module HRVB protocol tailored for operational settings
- Implemented at national police colleges in multiple countries
- Addresses occupational stressors specific to law enforcement
- Methods adapted for training and resource constraints
- Supports both individual and team resilience
Limitations
Requires trained facilitators for implementation
What This Means for You
Law enforcement personnel can build stress resilience through structured HRV biofeedback training. Even brief daily practice can improve autonomic regulation during high-stress operations.
