Be sure to identify the leadership characteristics and responsibilities pertaining to each organizational level. Include at least four peer reviewed references. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Police agencies in US basically play the role of protection and service to its citizens. Over simplifying the police role, many police cars are adorned with the tag of “to protect and serve”. Meanwhile many scholars attempted to categorise the role of police into two fragments: maintenance of order and law enforcement.(James,1968).But in reality police ,the role of police is much more diversified and complex ,in contrast to the divisions mentioned above. They are generally the first agency that people look up to whenever in need. From searching lost children to solving neighbour’s dispute, from property problems to traffic control, the role of police is most significant for the law enforcement of a country.

...Organizational Management And Operations Paper Team A University of phoenix CJA 484 Dwayne Carr April 27, 2015 Organizational Management and Operations Paper While the criminal justice system can be viewed as on whole entity, there are different levels of organization. Within these different organizational levels comes varying degrees of functionality. The three organizational levels include local, state, and federal police functions. Each of which are responsible for certain aspects pertaining to the criminal justice organization. As 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.

...modes 287 Received 15 March 2002 Revised 15 September 2002 Accepted 9 December 2002 Ellen Ernst Kossek Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA Keywords Human resource development, Employment, Human resource management, Culture Abstract Past research suggests that most culture change efforts proceed with limited attention to the pluralistic nature of contemporary organizations. We argue that the relationship between organization subcultures and the implementation of new HR strategies into HR practice has not been adequately explored because of the lack of a comprehensive framework for de®ning and integrating culture change and the strategic HR literature. We review the organization culture and strategic HR literature and present a heuristic that serves as a step toward exemplifying the role of changing employment modes and organizational subcultures in enabling or constraining the implementation of HR strategy. Adjusting to changing environmental demands has been an ongoing pursuit of organizations for centuries, but the task has become even more perplexing over the last decade. In response to the accelerated pace of change worldwide, organizations are becoming ¯atter and more agile, and are manifesting more diverse forms of organizational cultures. Recent trends in the changing nature of the employment relationship (Tsui et al., 1997), and the growing use of ªperipheralº or temporary employees, highlight the need to focus on the impact that...

However , for some employees the career plateau may adversely impact job satisfaction, motivation, willingness to stay in the organisation ,etc. It is the latter case also known as the “deadwoods” who need extra attention from the management and our study focuses on analysing the effects of career stagnation on these three variables.
