RUSTON, La. - A $25,000 grant has been approved for a Louisiana Tech University interdisciplinary project to research and implement new ways to protect police officersâ health.
Principal investigator Dr. Todd Castleberry, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology; Dr. Jean Chen, Associate Professor of Kinesiology; and Dr. Vicky Green, Dietetic Internship Director in the School of Human Ecology; will lead the research project. This grant funding will be used to help collect blood for health markers, in addition to physical fitness data in police officers, Castleberry said. This project was selected for its novel approach to promoting health in a specific population of Louisiana citizens who need to be healthy and fit to perform the duties of their job. With this new approach, we hope that enhancing the overall health of law enforcement will ultimately enhance the relationships between citizens and police officers.
