Book excerpt: This is a summary report of a two-year study of police unions and their effect on policing and law enforcement. The growth of police unionism in the united states during the 1960's has been a phenomenon of major importance in police management. Police unions in twenty-two urban areas were the target of this field study, during which interviews were conducted with police chiefs or their representatives, city labor relations representatives, police union leaders, and black officer organization leaders. The study explains the influences resulting in the recent rise of militancy in police unions and describes the present nature of these organizations. The effect of the lack of a single employer-figure on the form and conduct of collecting bargaining is discussed, as well as the impact of unions on labor-management relations. The study examines the dimensions of police union bargaining power and the use labor leaders make of this power in varying situations. The relationship between unionization and professionalization is analyzed, as is the impact of police labor organizing on the chief's ability to manage and on the formulation of law enforcement policy. The nature of black officer organizations, and the factors which led to their formation, are compared with similar characteristics of police unions, and the divergence of purpose is examined in relation to intra-departmental racial unrest. Appended is a bibliography on police unions and labor organizations.

This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief examines the role of Police Unions in law enforcement policy development. It provides an overview of the historical and political background of police labor unions, and takes a critical look at the shifting perception of labor unions from generally positive to somewhat negative, to compare this perception with their real impact. It examines the perceived role that unions play, whether positive, negative, or neutral in the development and advancement of contemporary law enforcement agencies and their respective policies. This work provides a multisite survey of police administrators’ views and opinions on police union impact on a variety of police functions including: delivery of services, prevention of crime and disorder, and interaction with the public. The results of this research provide a comprehensive look at ways to improve the ways police departments operate and how they improve and enhance legitimacy in their communities.It provides a context for the current state of the public sector labor relations environment. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, police science, and public policy.

Download or read book Guidelines and Papers from the National Symposium on Police Labor Relations written by and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines evolved from a symposium sponsored by the International Chiefs of Police, the Police Foundation, and the Labor-Management Relations Service. Four key issues were discussed: (1) the role of labor and management in the labor relations process; (2) professionalization and unionism in law enforcement; (3) productivity in law enforcement; and (4) key issues in police unionism -- national unions, strikes, discipline and corruption. Four discussion sections corresponding to the issues were selected. Each section was composed of three sub-groups: (1) mayors/city managers/county executives, (2) police chiefs and (3) police union officials. The discussion sections met for one-and-a-half days. The proposed policy recommendations were then prepared through the joint efforts of the section moderator, resource person(s), and a representative of each sub-group in the discussion section. These proposals were then reviewed by all the symposium participants at a plenary session. Members of the session approved, disapproved or modified the proposed recommendations. The labor relations guidelines contained in the first part of this report represent the consensus of the plenary session on the recommendations developed by the discussion groups. The second section of this report contains the concept papers prepared by seven knowledgeable practitioners in the field of police labor relations. These papers were used as a guide for the discussions that took place at the National Symposium on Police Labor Relations.
Download or read book Police Accountability written by Richard C. Larson and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the measurement of police equity, efficiency, and effectiveness; the analysis of alternative methods of operation; and the determination of the feasibility of implementing those alternatives. The readings in the first half of the anthology focus on performance measures from various points of view: the police planner, the comprehensive evaluator, the city administrator, and the concerned citizen. A brief history of policing in the u.s. is presented, with emphasis on the role played by three popular police performance measures: response time, frequency of preventive patrols, and patrol workloads. The discussion moves to more broadly defined issues, such as police use of force, citizen satisfaction, subjective measures of performance, and internal ratings by supervisors, which would be of concern in conducting a comprehensive evaluation of a police department. A separate chapter provides a complete picture of police employment and costs in the U.S. from the 1950's through the early 1970's, including trends in salaries, fringe benefits, and total expenditures, and per capita trends. One public safety performance measure, that of probability of victimization, is discussed in depth. The chapter presents a method for projecting the lifetime homicide victimization probability of an individual born in one of the 50 largest cities in the u.s. the second half of the volume focuses on a key factor that has affected police accountability since the early 1960's; the tremendous growth of police unions. After a brief history of police unions, case studies are considered in which the union has played a major role in the effort of management to improve services or maintain cost increases at some reasonable level. The final two chapters examine the roles that unions can play when management attempts to introduce civilians (generally less expensive than sworn police) into a police department. Tabular data and details of the statistical analysis are included.

Download or read book LAW ENFORCEMENT POLICE UNIONS AND THE FUTURE written by Ron DeLord and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 40 years, the majority of law enforcement personnel could depend on regular salary increases, better health care, and pension benefits while reaping the advantages of belonging to an organization that was learning how to gain and use political power. However, these peaceful and untroubled days are over. Police unions, despite their best efforts at the bargaining table, now find themselves preparing their members for layoffs, pay and benefit cuts, and more restrictive working conditions. Leaders are trying to fight back against the well-financed, organized efforts to weaken the public sector unions, eliminate collective bargaining rights, end defined benefit pensions, and privatize the job. Police unions must change the way they do business if they want to survive. This book identifies how to mount an effective political campaign, the complexities of confrontations, and the reasons police union leaders fail. The book is divided into five primary parts, each of which explores police union management. Part I focuses on the myriad of police challenges, Part II examines the three reasons union leaders fail, Part III examines the ability to embrace reforms, Part IV discusses the future of policing, and finally, Part V evaluates the national and international perspectives on the current issues that impact policing. Areas of discussion include officer-involved shootings; stopping the growing racial divide between law enforcement and citizens; complex issues concerning body cams; how to use social media effectively; mastering a certain leadership style; changing the culture of unions; more diversity among leadership; and motivating membership. By following the superb analysis and creative ideas for solutions in this book, police labor leaders, law enforcement personnel, and policymakers will see the quality of their efforts improve remarkably.

It offers the reader practical, not theoretical, solutions in dealing with problem employees and misconduct incidents. It reflects the collective experience and dedication of a highly experienced group of Illinois police chiefs and sheriffs, both in large and small departments, in urban and rural communities. Law enforcement executives developed the ideas, solutions, and practical suggestions throughout the book.

Seventeen cases of personnel problems confronted by law enforcement administrators are included. Some of these include: minority rights, mental health, sick time abuse, domestic violence, insubordination, blue flue, prisoner abuse, improper political involvement, alcoholism, and others. The details of each case are given followed by a summary of major issues and dilemmas that each case presents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An historical approach to understanding one of the most pressing and difficult problems in current police personnel management, police unionization. After a brief introduction, the book presents a capsuled account of the evolution of the entire union movement in the united states, the development of public employee and police unions from the late 1800's to the present time, recent developments on the California scene, and a digest of known police union/association organizational activities. Relevant labor legislation is examined, particularly with regard to the legal rights of policemen to organize, collectively bargain, and strike. Historical and contemporary views affecting the concept of police unions are outlined and analyzed. The final chapter discusses the significance of the developments that have occurred and offers the authors' conclusions and recommendations relative to police unionism. Among other things it is suggested that policemen be allowed to form their own unions but that they be restricted to resolving labor disputes through arbitration rather than work stoppages. This work will prove helpful to police administrators, public officials, students of personnel management, and working police personnel in understanding the extent and ramifications of the police union movement. Appended material includes various agreements between unions and police departments.
