Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and development of police employee organizations is reviewed, and several of the prominent organizations are described. Police unions, and in particular local police employees associations, are examined, and the processes of interaction with police management are described. Because productivity programs require management/union cooperation, it is important that efficient mechanisms for communication and negotiation be maintained. Examples are presented of how several departments have approached this task. A number of case studies of productivity programs are included. The author concludes that productivity maximization is and will remain an imperative, as will the need for unions and management to reach mutually acceptable policies for achieving it.--Paper by Harry P. Hatry: This report discusses a number of alternatives that have been proposed to improve police crime control productivity measurement.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police performance appraisal is one of the most important components of law enforcement management—affecting the quality of the services a department delivers as well as the satisfaction of its employees. Therefore, it is crucial that the performance appraisal process is conducted in an effective and equitable manner. Police Performance Appraisals: A Comparative Perspective employs the comparative case study approach to evaluate systems in police departments in two diverse locales—Ankara, Turkey and Toledo, Ohio. The study seeks to determine whether there are any common trends or obvious similarities that transcend national and cultural boundaries. From this information, best practices can be identified to improve the system of any police organization. The data from the survey raises a host of issues essential to police management. Are traditional or modern appraisal systems more preferable to police personnel? Are field and command officers’ perceptions of the performance evaluation instruments in their departments similar or do they differ from those of their subordinates? Asking these and other critical questions, the authors also examine the relationship between the officer’s perception of the appraisal system and his or her rank, taking into account level of education, gender, age, and years of service. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this study yields important findings and valuable insights for police organizations as to which characteristics an appraisal process should have for the best quality system. Lessons learned from this study should provide guidance to future efforts to design better appraisal systems and may also contribute to heightened focus on nationwide assessments of evaluation practices and standards for police organizations.

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.

Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
