Sheriff's Department Hypnotized To Better Manage Stress


"Jim Wells County Sheriff's Department personnel spent the last two days receiving specialized training in stress management from one of the state's leading forensic hypnotists.

Class members participated in a personal relaxation technique, which included deep breathing and relaxation. The nearly 30-member class Thursday evening left saying the course refreshed and relaxed, ready to renew their efforts to protect and serve the citizens of Jim Wells County."

It does appear that rumors of some of the officers in question falling to all fours and barking like a doberman due to a glitch in some post hypnotic suggestion, is untrue.

"No one heard nobody do no barking," Inspector Howell said, "Couple a' guys thought they were chickens but that happened only once when they stopped at a KFC, and nobody got hurt..."
