Which of the following is a common stressor experienced by officers when taken hostage?

Joy
Frustration
Excitement
Curiosity

The correct answer is: Frustration

Frustration is a common stressor experienced by officers when taken hostage due to the feelings of helplessness, the unpredictability of the situation, and the inability to control the outcome. Officers may feel an intense sense of frustration as they confront the reality of their situation and the powerlessness that comes with being held captive. This emotional response can be compounded by concerns for their safety, the potential for physical harm, and the psychological strain of the hostage environment. Understanding this can help in recognizing the mental health challenges faced by officers in such scenarios and underscores the importance of support systems and training to cope with high-stress situations.
