Critical Incident Stress. While 'everyday' cumulative stress can take its toll, critical incident stress is different in that it directly relates to a dramatic event or events inherent in the life of first responder that can result in a number of debilitating symptoms. These events often result in an overwhelming sense of vulnerability and/or loss of control. Critical Incident Stress includes, but is not limited to:
Line of duty shootings
Getting seriously injured on the job
High-speed pursuits that end in tragedy
Events with critical media attention
