Book excerpt: In surveying ethical attitudes of police officers, the Oregon State Police (OSP) Department examined whether a shared sense of values prevailed within the police organization, whether police officers received consistent information on organizational values and policies, and how police officers viewed the integrity of the police organization. Of 780 sworn personnel, 615 responded to the survey, for a 79 percent response rate. Survey findings revealed values promoted by police supervisors affected attitudes and behavior of their subordinates. When police supervisors were perceived as having strong values and behavior, they often received more loyalty. Rank was associated with ethical values; ratings of values and behaviors in relation to the OSP went up as rank went up. The position of sergeant had some role ambiguity; attitudes of sergeants differed widely, with some favoring the management role and others favoring the fellow police officer position. Sergeants had to balance management considerations with fellow police officer concerns, a role that sometimes led to alienation from the ranks. Management personnel working at the OSP headquarters rated their ethical values and behavior higher across the board. Implications of the survey findings for establishing standards governing police professionalism and ethical behavior are discussed. Appendixes present the OSP's Code of Ethical Conduct, information on the survey methodology, a list of reasons for not returning the survey, a list of issues not covered by the survey, and correlation data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your knowledge of police ethics or lack thereof determines your experience! Every sworn officer knows, or at least should know by now, that they live in a glass jar. Friends, relatives, neighbors, and strangers watch every move law enforcement officers make both on and off duty. The fact is that the public scrutinizes police officers more than most other professions, either because theyre cynical or hope to catch them screwing up or because they're hopeful and are looking for a good example and a strong leader. In either case, it's up to the officer or civil service worker to be above reproach in both his public and private life. The major difference between most sworn officers or civil service workers and extremely successful officers or civil workers is the gap between what they know and what they do. Both groups have about the same knowledge base. Extremely successful officers and civil service works are just better at doing what they should be doing. I worked as a special deputy sheriff early in my young life, and there were times I lost my temper to the point where I wanted to cross ethical boundaries. I wrote this powerful, high-impact workbook to help fellow officers by educating them in police ethics so that they wont become a victim of poor decision making, placed in the lime light of shame, and made the poster child for law enforcement ethical dilemmas. Using this ethical workbook in your organization will show your employees youre serious about their professional growth and achieving critical ethical goals and objectives. This ethics in law enforcement workbook allows you to train entire police departments for less than the cost of traditional public seminars or other training options. Give your officers and civil service workers the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to meet tough workplace challenges while on patrol or while working in a civil service position. This workbook will help them realize their full potential and perform at their peak, provide them with the tips and techniques they will need to stay calm and productive in any situation.

Download or read book TALKING ETHICS WITH COPS written by Neal Tyler and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book stems from more than 30 years of experience in the development of practical law enforcement ethics training. It is written based on the real-world application of a wide variety of approaches to enhancing ethics awareness and decision-making skills. There has been an explosion of efforts to increase the emphasis on ethics in law enforcement. The most effective of these efforts involve our law enforcement officers themselves in (1) sharing ideas, experiences, and wisdom with each other and (2) analyzing long-term consequences in a risk-free learning environment, before the need arises for making actual decisions or engaging in conduct. Accomplishing those objectives can be attempted with a variety of formats, presentations, and approaches. Instead of being shown how to “teach” ethics, readers will be given material and ideas on how to enhance existing ethics awareness and ethics skills with their personnel. Readers are provided with pointers on talking with staff, not “at” them, in order to foster awareness about how ethical values and standards to which they already subscribe apply in real-world law enforcement decision-making and conduct. A unique aspect of this text is that it is written primarily for line sergeants and lieutenants to use with their own in-service personnel. It contains material that is designed to be easy-to-present and non-intimidating. It is adaptable to briefings of limited duration as well as longer training sessions. There is substantial content to enable an agency to maintain an on-going program of recurrent, short-but-meaningful discussions with and among personnel. Most importantly, it is practical and down-to-earth–not theoretical or abstract. Also, the book is based on the belief that with a combination of interest and practice, any sergeant or lieutenant, or any officer or deputy, can overcome any self-perceived weakness and become an accomplished “ethics awareness discussion leader.” In addition to its primary audience, the book will also be a helpful resource for field-training officers, senior officers, non-sworn personnel, and law enforcement executives.
Download or read book A Handbook for Psychological Fitness for Duty Evaluations in Law Enforcement written by Cary D. Rostow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some books about police psychology contain a chapter on the fitness-for-duty question, this is the first comprehensive publication focused exclusively on psychological fitness-for-duty evaluations (FFDEs) for law enforcement personnel. This handbook is ideal for professionals and for coursework designed to prepare individuals for careers as police or municipal officials, psychologists, students, behavioral science specialists, human rights advocates, and attorneys. A helpful glossary makes the book even more useful for students and those who do not have extensive academic or formal training in psychology or public administration. A Handbook for Psychological Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations in Law Enforcement describes in detail the mechanics of setting up a fitness-for-duty methodology and examines the effectiveness of FFDEs in law enforcement. You’ll find clear instructions for developing a FFDE system from the law enforcement executive’s viewpoint (valuable for attorneys, police psychologists, and civil service board members as well), and an extensive bibliography with particular emphasis on laws and cases that provide guidance to psychological and law enforcement professionals. Several appendices provide examples of documentation that can be used in the evaluation process. This book brings you reliable information on: legal precedents, with a review of legal cases (in language appropriate for law enforcement executives and psychologists) the interaction between police culture, psychological assessment, and therapy federal laws that impact FFDEs, including the HIPAA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act case law and FFDEs, with emphasis on civil rights laws, labor issues, professional ethical dilemmas, and the psychologist as a potential expert witness the proper uses—and the misuses—of the FFDE approach police departmental civil liability and the role that the FFDE plays in addressing legal risks In addition, this book contains a succinct review of psychological testing (psychometrics), and the technicalities of employing a professional psychologist to determine the fitness of commissioned officers. A Handbook for Psychological Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations in Law Enforcement proposes a model law that could be used to improve the utility and effectiveness of FFDEs, and presents a forward-looking discussion of FFDE issues that may become controversial in the near future.

Download or read book The Impact of Training on Law Enforcement Recruits Attitudes Toward Persons with Mental Illness written by Daniel Barrett and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incidences of police interaction with persons with mental illness are common. Officers may exhibit a negative attitude toward such persons, and lack of adequate training is a major reason for officers' negative attitudes. Current research has concentrated on attitudes towards persons with mental illness among veteran police officers, students, and the general public. However, there is an important gap in the current literature regarding the examination of the attitudes of police recruits. Based on cognitive dissonance theory, the purpose of this quantitative study was to measure if training on mental health improves police recruits' attitudes toward persons with mental illness. An experimental design was employed to assess 64 police academy recruits' changes in attitudes using the Mental Health Attitude Survey for Police before and after training. At the time of pretesting, half of the recruits were randomly assigned to prepare written positive comments about persons with mental illness to create dissonance given initial negative attitudes. The remaining recruits prepared neutral written comments. A paired sample/test demonstrated significant improvement in recruits' attitudes towards persons with mental illness in the overall sample after training. The cognitive dissonance manipulation did not result in significant change. Findings from the study contribute to the limited research in this area. The study has implications for positive social change such that positive attitudes may result in policing responding more efficiently in situations involving persons with mental illness, thereby reducing incidences of aggression and violence. The findings may also provide officers with greater understanding of assessment and intervention techniques to work with persons with mental illness. Cost effective benefits could include less strain on the criminal justice and mental health systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3The Clothing of Effective Policing: Cultural Competency, Spirituality and Ethics continues my discussion about the humanity of policing. For this writing, I give attention to the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional dimensions of humankind. I use clothing metaphorically to describe more than something to cover body parts. Clothing refers to preparation of the heart, soul, and mind for tasks associated with policing. I came up with the idea while studying scripture, substituting the word clothing for armor, both words understood to refer to protecting the body and mind-set. In the Bible, clothing and colors were symbolic.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for evidence-based practice to enhance current and future police training and assessment has never been greater. This need focuses on the procedures and findings of research within the field of police work along with the philosophy guiding these research approaches and commentaries on the methods being used. With many future directions for the science of police training and assessment, the focus on new training techniques and technologies for improving performance is of the upmost importance to find the best current, evidence-based practices for policing. In addition to these practices, understanding the practical realities and challenges of implementing cutting-edge procedures is essential in gaining a holistic view on police well-being and performance. Interventions, Training, and Technologies for Improved Police Well-Being and Performance is a critical publication that explores new training methods and technologies. The future of policing is poised to change, making the need for developments in evidence-based practices more important than ever before. New technology and techniques for improving performance and the perception of the police force can guide the policies and practices of law enforcement, trainers and academies, government officials, policymakers, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, to a more effective implementation of training and procedures. Including the perspective of police officers within the publication, this text offers insight into an often neglected viewpoint when creating training and policies. This text is also be beneficial for researchers, academicians, and students interested in the new training techniques, technologies, and interventions for police performance and well-being.
