Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To effectively "serve and protect" citizens of Los Angeles in the 21st Century, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) recognized the need to train police officers in tactical and interpersonal skills that reflected a community-policing model. This decision was influenced by findings of several studies that were initiated in response to the 1991 Rodney King beating incident, where LAPD officers were found to engage in ethnic discrimination and excessive use of force. In 2007, LAPD leadership redesigned the LAPD Academy Recruit Basic Course (RBC) by adopting a problem-solving focused, scenario-based curriculum that integrated tactical and communication skills within the CAPRA community-policing model. An exploratory, mixed qualitative-quantitative method was used to evaluate recruits' (P1s') ability to generalize their communications skills training in the field during the first four weeks after graduating from the redesigned RBC. Field Training Officer (FTO) responses to in-depth interviews were evaluated regarding P1s' ability to adapt when communicating with different kinds of people, their ability to address conflict, and ratings of P1s communication skills as compared to recruits trained under the old curriculum. FTO survey evaluations of P1s' communication skills were examined and compared to P1s' demographic characteristics. Results suggested that P1s were able to adapt when communicating with different kinds of people, they were able to effectively address conflict, and they were able to generalize their communication skills in the field regardless of demographic differences. Implications for police recruit training are discussed. .

Download or read book Police Psychology Into the 21st Century written by Martin I. Kurke and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the 21st century, there is a discernable shift in policing, from an incident-driven perspective to a proactive problem solving stance often described as "community policing." In this volume a panel of 21 psychologists examine the changing directions in policing and how such changes impact on psychological service delivery and operational support to law enforcement agencies. The book describes existing and emerging means of providing psychological support to the law enforcement community in response to police needs to accommodate new technology, community-oriented problem solving technology, crime prevention, and sensitivity to community social changes. Senior psychologists who are sworn officers, federal agents and civilian employees of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies comprise the team of chapter authors. Their perspectives encompass their collective experience "in the trenches" and in law enforcement management and administrative support roles. They discuss traditional applications of psychology to police selection, training and promotion processes, and in trauma stress management and evaluation of fitness for duty. Concerns related to police diversity and police family issues are also addressed, as are unique aspects of police stress management. Additional chapters are dedicated to establishing psychological service functions that currently are less familiar to police agencies than they are to other government and private sector service recipients. These chapters are devoted to police psychologists as human resource professionals, as human factors experts in accommodating to new technology and to new legal requirements, as organizational behavioral experts, and as strategic planners. This text is recommended reading for two groups: *police and public safety administators whose work takes them--or should take them--into contact with police psychologists; *practicing and would-be police psychologists concerned with the emerging trends in the application of psychology to police and other public safety programs.

There is no other law enforcement official or academician who is as capable as Dr. Brown of masterfully presenting the concept of Community Policing, which he pioneered. As a philosophy, Community Policing encourages law enforcement officials, and the people they are sworn to serve, to cooperatively address issues such as crime, community growth, and societal development. It calls for mutual respect and understanding between the police and the community. The book is written from the perspective of someone whose peers identify as the "father" of Community Policing, and who personally implemented it in Police Departments under his command.
