Multiple influences act (and interact) on sitting behaviour including environmental, social, political, and individual-level factors. The disciplined nature of the organisation and distinctive work tasks around public safety may lead to unique influences on behaviour for police staff. While barriers to sitting reduction for office workers in retail, call centres, health, and information technology have been previously documented, no information exists as to the specific needs of non-operational, desk-based police staff. A study involving 5527 British police force employees reported that 30% had mainly office-based duties. Office work is a known environment for prolonged sedentary behaviour (sitting) and has become a target for behaviour change interventions. High amounts of sedentary behaviour are associated with poor health outcomes such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and premature mortality.

In order to reduce the risk of developing chronic disease, experts recommend that full time, desk-based workers progressively replace half of their working day with standing and light intensity activity (e.g., light walking), as well as engage in regular breaks from static seated or standing work. ConclusionsĪwareness of behaviour and health impacts (Capability), social and physical support to sit less (Opportunity), and habit formation techniques (Motivation) are recommended considerations in sitting reduction workplace interventions for police staff.

Seven themes were identified: ‘Work tasks are seated’, ‘Social norm is to sit’, ‘Belief in ability to regulate behaviour’, ‘Knowledge of health risks’, ‘Organisational support’, ‘Impact on productivity’, and ‘Perceived autonomy for sitting reduction’. Thematic analysis identified key themes which were then mapped onto the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and linked to the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model. Ten police staff from a single police force in Bedfordshire, England took part in face-to-face semi-structured interviews lasting 46 ± 11 min on average. This study aimed to assess the perceived influences on reducing workplace sitting in non-operational, desk-based police staff in order to derive theoretical determinants for behaviour change. Police office staff remain an understudied population group that work within a disciplined organisation with distinctive work tasks around public safety, potentially affecting their capability, opportunity, and motivation to change sitting behaviour. Workplace interventions have shown promise for reducing sitting in office workers.
