...'A retrospective view of how modern leadership models can be used to explain the development of policing in 1820s England and 1930s America.' Andrew C. Fisher Student No. 08040516 Professional Doctorate – Policing, Security & Community Safety July 2010 “The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.” Henry Kissinger The centrality of leaders and leadership has long been recognised as a defining feature of the working practices of organisations. Few would dispute the assertion that effective leadership is vital to the processes of organisational change (Denston, 2003; Silvestri, 2007). Indeed, for some, the very definition of successful leadership is the ability to bring about sustained organisational change (Allen and Kraft, 1987). Throughout policing history, leadership has played an essential part in organisational development, learning and management of crises. Some leaders have played their part in the development of the police service whilst others have come to the fore at times of crisis. This essay will take a historical look at some of the people who have played an influential role in the development of policing in the UK and the USA and will ascertain whether the development of the police service in both countries can be attributed or compared to modern leadership models and behaviours. The essay will use historical evidence and will apply modern leadership...

...Policing and Police Issues CJA 303 Police misconduct of the past was centered on the police turning a blind eye toward other officers who committed crimes. When police officers join a police department, they become members of a “brotherhood.” This “brotherhood” plays an important role in the way officers see themselves and the world around them. Officers learn early in their career of the importance of loyalty to fellow officers. This misplaced loyalty is a major factor in police misconduct. Police culture allows misplaced loyalty to flourish, rationalizing it as part of the “brotherhood” (Barry, 1999). The majority of law enforcement holds the public trust as sacred. These men and women are honest, hardworking police officers who have a commitment to serving the public with integrity and have the highest standards of ethical behavior. There will always be a small number of officers who misuse or abuse the public’s trust (Beech, 1996). One of the most difficult ethical dilemmas that an officer can face is informing on another officer. Informing or testifying against one’s peers has always been perceived as a career killer for the officer testifying. There are problems however, when police officers protect each other. One of the greatest harms of cover-ups is the harm that is inflicted upon a police officer’s creditability (Pollock, 2004). Who would believe this officer in court testifying at a trial? The defense will go after the officer’s creditability and if there is any...

...Robert Barton Case Study LaTasha Lindsey CJA/474 March 27, 2013 Jim De Primo Robert Barton Case Study The concepts related to groups and group dynamics explain that Officer Barton is the type of person who wants to be a stand up individual who stands firm for what he believes in. His desires their acceptance, which is fueled by his desire to be a good police officer. He has conformed to a new group that causes him to sacrifice the cultural acceptance that it comes with. Baron wants to succeed and he is conformed to the beliefs of his fellow officers to accomplish his success. Barton knows what the outcome will be if he does not act the way they expect him to act. He knows the mentality of the police department, and it has developed into one that he does not like, but knows he has to adhere to it to have success within the department. Group cohesion cease to be positive when there becomes a clash of personalities within the group, disagreement among members of the group concerning tasks or social roles, and termination in communication among group members or between group leaders and a member. Group cohesiveness will also cease to be positive when one or more members struggle for control, a recurrent turnover of group members, and when there is a disagreement on group goals and objectives. Group cohesiveness becomes pathological when members fear losing rank or becoming alienated, and it prevents them from voicing creative but unwanted ideas or from raising the...

...organizational levels progress, the functionality and responsibility of each grows. Each level has a little more power than the one beneath it. Overall each is of extreme importance to the criminal justice system, but each have their own functional priorities. This is to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall organization through splitting up the responsibilities of each level. Each level of policing has different organizational, administrative, management, and operational functions. While the setup may appear to be similar amongst each, there will be slight variations dependent upon on the function of the level. The management and leadership styles will vary based on the operations. Different operations will call for different styles of leadership, and this will show in the various operational functions of policing. Policing is more than what meets the eye. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes which often goes unnoticed. These unnoticed aspects are what make the operation function in an effective manner. This is why it is so important for the administration, management, and leadership to be able to adapt and be unique to the specific police function. A person in a leadership position may thrive in one police function, but may falter in...

...can hurt productive partnership between police and citizens (Peak, 2010). Policing in communities has influenced crime. For instance, a drug deal less likely to happen when a police patrol car is roaming the area every 20 minutes, the risk of becoming busted is high so the crime does not happen. This is good for high crime areas. Police officers are willing to explore alternatives to law enforcement to tackle the underlying cause of community problems. The role of police officer was lessened there would be much more crime on the streets. Community policing would not be able to enforce the laws as they apply. They would not be able to stop the criminals; the theory is for both to work together and learning from each other. They are sharing information and learning how to enforce the laws or make new laws to stop the criminals. The role of a police officer is very important to this theory and practice, without him or her, and his or her knowledge the criminals would get away with his or her crimes. By both of the community policing and the police officers working together to stop crime was a good idea that way he or she is learning new ways to stop the criminals and learn new ways to enforce the laws (Xu, Fiedler, Flaming, 2005). Issues Police officers may encounter different levels of crime daily, as every day new challenges may surface at a moment’s notice. For example, an officer may witness victims of murder, beatings, robberies, rapes, and sex crimes that may affect...

...of social feeling for others was present (Adler, n.d.)”. These feelings in society guide the professional behavior that makes up the theory of criminal justice is a crucial part of criminal justice system, and the ethics that make up moral principles of right and wrong, administration that distributes burden and stresses common good in our legal system. We are, faced with ethical issues every day and must deal with components that make up our involved system in a professional manner. The administration of criminal justice, especially the policing of society and individual rights requires professional behavior in certain situations and may often for those on the outside looking in to find it difficult to handle. The criminal justice system has obligations of making moral judgments of what is right or wrong and must be done professionally and with the use of critical thinking. Because law enforcement its successes and failures are often judged by society vise right and wrong the system is under great scrutiny even from those that manage the system, and understand the stresses involved. The relationship between theories, and how they are defined like the principles of utilitarianism, and the manner in which agencies are defined through professional behavior and ethics of professional behavior is part of the analysis. What are some of the principles of justice theories? Explain how the principles of these theories differ from traditional...

...History of Police Nancy Anderson CJA/214 August 4, 2012 Miriam Moore History of Police He was an important political leader in England and the “father” of modern policing. Robert Peel fought for over 30 years to improve law enforcement and finally, in 1829, persuaded the English Parliament to create the London Metropolitan Police. This police department is recognized as the first modern police force (Walker & Katz, 2011). This English heritage is what produced American policing. The three core elements that Peel introduced back in 1829 are what make up the structure of the police forces we see today. These core elements are mission, strategy, and organizational structure (Walker & Katz, 2011). The mission of Peel’s police force was crime prevention. That is the mission of today’s police force. Before the creation of the Metropolitan Police force, all enforcement was performed after a crime was committed. Peel realized that is was better to “prevent crime than to respond after the fact” (Walker & Katz, 2011). Peel introduced the idea of preventive patrol. This was his strategy for the mission of crime prevention. He believed in a visible police presence and implemented the idea of officers patrolling a fixed “beat” or area (Walker & Katz, 2011). This idea is still in implementation today although it is usually accomplished by police patrolling in vehicles, rather than on foot. Peel borrowed from the military ideals for his...

...The concept of ethical obligation GEORGE Tenet and the Last Great Days of the CIA PADM 500: Modern Public Administration August 2, 2013 Identify four (4) cross-coded ethical dilemmas facing former CIA Director George Tenet and assess their impact on his leadership abilities. During George Tenet tenure as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, there were several ethical dilemmas he faced, among which most significantly were the violations of national and international human right policies. George Tenet was also faced with the ethical dilemma of being straightforward to the people he worked with, especially his field officers, and most essentially the nation as at large. He knew all along that the statements about Saddam Hussein and chemical weapons were a fluke, but went along with it and cost American families over four thousand lives. Additionally, his role as meditator in the meeting between former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also an ethical concern. Professionally, this role was more diplomat than chief spymaster, which made many insiders “distinctly uncomfortable” (Posner 1998; Tenet 2007, 74). Others in the administration were pleased with the idea considering it as unethical despite the fact that Tenet tried to explain that nobody else could act better in that position. This threatened his leadership due to the fact that individuals were beginning to lack trust in his leadership...

...veteran police officer, Alonzo Harris who trains rookie cop, Jake Hoyt, on his very first day with the Los Angeles Police Department’s narcotics unit. Alonzo is a corrupt police officer, meanwhile, wants to be the superhero cop. Over the course of 24 hours, Alonzo puts Jake through a lot of questionable situations that make him choose between being the sheep or the wolf. 1. In the Police Organization, they use what’s called the “time-in-rank system” when promoting officers. This system is good because it ensures organizational stability, and maintains fairness in the promotional system. Once you earn your rank, it is your rank. It’s rare for ranks to be taken away. This system is good because it protects agencies from losing valuable administration to other departments. Just as there are positives there are a few negatives to using the “time-in-rank system.” Unfortunately, it prohibits rapid advancement and restricts administrative flexibility. In Training Day, Alonzo said Jake would make detective if he stuck with him and “unlearn all the bullshit he learned in the academy because it’d get him killed.” He also tells him if he gives him 18 months, he would...

...Days of the CIA George Tenet was the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1997-2004. He was good at what he did; he was so good that he was asked to stay on as the Director of the CIA when President Bush won the Presidency. The one thing Tenet experienced with the Bush administration that he did not experience with the Clinton Administration is he became part of the President’s inner circle. Once George Tenet experienced the inner circle, he no longer was able to focus on rebuilding the agency (Stillman 2000). In George Tenet and the Last Great Days of the CIA, Richard White, Jr. gives us the rise and fall of the CIA under CIA Director George Tenet. With any profession ethics always plays an important role. We run across many ethical situations and it always come down to what should you do? In George Tenet’s case it was no different. During his political career Tenet had faced many ethical dilemmas, some of those ethical dilemmas include him serving as a go-between person making his job politically complicated, not being able to openly disagree and communicate with the members of President Bush administration, even when he knew the President was wrong he still backed him, and being in a cross road for performing the duties of his job and being loyal to the president. Tenet had always seen the role of CIA as an “honest broker that avoided direct involvement in foreign policy making” (Stillman 2000). In 1998 he stood as...

...Study of George Tenet George Tenet was the director of the central Intelligence Agency from 1997 to 2004; it was a very trying time for the Clinton and Bush administration. Tenet would cover many things in his career and that would have a major impact on the terrorist attacks of September 11 and U.S. invasion of Iraq. There were many intelligence directors that sever before him, but none that were more establish or had a drive for controversy. During George Tenet career, he played a big role in many events, such as invasion of Iraq and reorganization of the nation’s intelligence. Tenet involvement with the White House decision making, intelligence priorities, and his own agency kept him occupied (DANIELSON). George Tenet dealt with many cross coded ethical dilemmas, which were in violation of national and international human rights. He was also faced with ethical dilemmas and his dishonest to the People within the government. Tent was a laissez for Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yasser Arafat was an ethical concern to the United States. His involvement with those ethical dilemmas left a bitter impression on his effectiveness in more ways than one. When the CIA administrator chooses to act as laissez faire among Israeli prime minister and Yasser Arafat, some of his affiliates inside of his administration did not see it in a positive way. Tent always acts as though he was the best man for his position. This imperils his authority since people begin to question...
