Very interesting actually.....I had a colleague who developed a stutter well into his career. It got so bad that members of the public (the more negative type) would harass him at every opportunity whilst he was on his beat/precinct.

This would often cause a fair amount of work and create bad PR in the area so he was reassigned to the comms room where amazingly, his stutter ceased.

After a shift when he went to a local bar with some of his colleagues, the damn thing would emerge again....but each shift in the comms room he is fine.

The last I heard he was seeking the help of some kind of speech therapist, I don't know how it panned out.
