A diario los profesionales de policía deben servir y proteger a su comunidad en un ambiente sociocultural, económico, político y familiar cambiante, caracterizado por ciudadanos cada vez más exigentes con sus necesidades, el buen trato y varios aspectos relacionados con su seguridad. Esta dinámica incide en los niveles de estrés, los factores de riesgo personal y laboral de los profesionales de policía. Este estudio centró su objetivo en analizar el impacto de la estrategia de formación implementada en 76 uniformados dedicados a las labores de prevención del delito y convivencia ciudadana, empleando las técnicas de respiración enfocadas en el corazón y coherencia rápida, equipos innovadores de biorretroalimentación y medición del Instituto HeartMath. Los resultados dejan en evidencia que los uniformados lograron reducir de manera significativa su frecuencia cardíaca promedio, mejorando su capacidad para respirar controladamente durante sus actividades rutinarias. Esta menor reactividad de la frecuencia cardiaca revela un mejor desempeño policial.
