A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational research design was employed to study the relationship between frequency of exercise (independent variable) and stress management and coping skills (dependent variables) among 104 sworn law enforcement officers in Southern California. Two validated survey instruments, the Law Enforcement Officer Stress Survey (LEOSS) (Van Hasselt, Sheehan, Sellers, Baker & Couwels, 2009), and the Self-Control Management Survey (SCMS) (Mezo, 2009) were utilized to collect data related to the dependent variables. There was no statistically significant relationship found between self-reported frequency of exercise and stress management or coping skills, as measured by the LEOSS and the SCMS respectively. Self-reported survey data was also collected in reference to three other independent variables: (1) type of assignment (administrative or field based), (2) years of service, and (3) involvement in a critical incident within the past five years. No statistically significant relationship was found to exist between these independent variables and the dependent variables. The majority of the sample participants had no involvement in critical incidents in the last 5 years, which constitutes 69.2% of the total sample. With regards to the years of service of the sample participants, majority of the participants had served as law enforcements officers for over 25 years (55.8%). Regarding job assignment, the majority of the participants (67.3%) had administrative-based job assignments while a minority (30.8%) served as field-based officers.
