In this episode we speak with Steven Bishopp, a Major in the Dallas Police Department. Steve has been with the DPD for over 30 years. Currently, he leads the R&D division, which handles police crime numbers from the reports officers do in the field. He also leads the department's UCR/NIBRS team, which validates offense and arrest data under NIBRS rules and submits monthly data to Texas DPS/FBI NIBRS. Steve earned a Ph.D. from UT Dallas, and has been published many times on a variety of subjects.

Episode 3: Policing Humor
"Policing Humor" can be interpreted in two ways. First, the cops are cracking down on jokes or anyone trying to be a "funny guy." Second, and correctly, the notion that policing expose officers to a lot of funny situations. But there is utility in humor, and we'll examine this in the podcast. Further, attempts to take away the ability for officers to crack jokes with each other can have negative effects on officers and policing in general.
I'm joined by S. Marlon Gayadeen from Buffalo State University who will bring some depth to the idea that policing (as with other stressful jobs), to some extent, requires humor.
S. Marlon Gayadeen is an associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at SUNY Buffalo State University. His research interests are anchored in sociological (classical, contemporary & organizational) and criminological theoretical frameworks. Government agencies and criminal justice practitioners have utilized his insights on crime causation.
If you are interested in reading the article that we discuss, I can provide a PDF version (Gayadeen, S. M., & Phillips, S. W. (2016). Donut time: the use of humor across the police work environment. Journal of Organizational Ethnography, 5(1), 44-59).
