In India, trauma among the emblem of manpower is still a word of fancy or rather cowardly in the twenty-first century. So, to apply the seminal concept in Indian police, the phrase Occupational Stress is somehow better suited even though police experience the gruesomeness of death, suffering, and cruelty closer than many professions. The medics and police see the teething reality of biopolitics that can surely leave a permanent scar in the individual memory. Soft-skill training is a modern solution, and the awareness is spreading worldwide. Occupational stress is a collective state where several contributing factors cause a sense of anxiety and trauma in the subject. In police, it is caused by public rage toward the institution, their hues and cries, the departmental pressure following the chain of command, and an undeniable political influence. The mighty law-keepers might seem to possess the sceptre of power, but the fate of their mission, postings, and promotion politics is modulated quite abruptly. This study is an extension of broader research that follows a review of literature, including memoirs written by top cops of the Indian police force, and it surveys a corpus of newspaper articles demonstrating trauma-informed policing. The study explores the concept of Occupational Stress, its prevalence, contributing factors, and consequences through a qualitative method and a critical discourse analysis of the selective police narrative. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
