Download or read book The Determinants of the Recruitment Practices of Police Departments written by Serkan Altuntop and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruitment and selection were always considered as one of the most critical functions of success and performance in both the private and the public sectors. In a rapidly changing environment and with the increased customer demands, it is not likely that a company or organization that ignores its environment and overlooks revising its policies including recruitment would survive or sustain efficiency. This study identifies the determinants involved in recruitment and selection practices in law enforcement agencies and their importance to the rapidly changing profession in the US. This study examines the logic behind recruitment practices and how they effect decisions in police departments. The moving point to research these arguments is analyzing the selection techniques used in police departments. Unlike other studies that focus on analyzing which selection method(s) is best in predicting how to recruit good police officer (for a compilation of such studies on law enforcement selection, a good resource is "Research in Law Enforcement Selection" by Michael G. Aamodt), this study tries to understand what factors affect using more or less selection tools assuming that using more diverse selection tools helps identify more aspects of an individual which in turn serves police departments better to have more qualified officers. The findings from this research suggest that police departments are aware of the importance of external forces and value organizational change and as such they adapt their structures including their recruitment policies to external demands. At the same time, some internal factors also seem to have a significant role in recruitment decisions.

Download or read book Police Selection Standards and Processes in Ohio written by James Andrew Conser and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State-of-the-art review of entrance qualifications, selection practices, and mandated minimum standards for law enforcement personnel and an analysis of their discriminatory effects and job relatedness. This study involved a review of literature on selection standards, a pilot survey of eleven law enforcement agencies, a questionnaire survey of all Ohio law enforcement agencies at the state and local levels, and interviews and discussions with local and state agencies, professional associations, elected state representatives, and non-police consultants. This report covers the following areas: state mandated minimum selection standards, legal aspects of police entrance qualifications, personnel and related functions (salary, manpower, civil service, etc.), the selection sequence, recruitment and application, physical requirements, aptitude and character requirements, ranking candidates, and training and probation. Some of the major survey findings were that females comprised only 1.6 percent of full-time sworn personnel in the 241 jurisdictions responding to the questionnaire, 81 percent of the jurisdictions had minimum age requirements, 62 percent utilized written examinations in the selection process, 89 percent indicated citizenship as an employment, and 71 percent indicated that applicants had to meet a residency requirement. Only five percent of the responding agencies indicated that they considered compensating factors in lieu of meeting other requirements. It is recommended that Ohio is in need of a number of mandated minimum selection standards to insure a minimum qualification level of all police personnel. Specific suggestions are made on the development, enactment, and focus of standards, enforcement, higher standards, the selection process, and basic training. The appendix contains a copy of the survey questionnaire, a list of the participating agencies, selected statutes from states with minimum selection standards. A bibliography on the legal aspects of the polygraph, and supplemental and/or supporting study data. A thirteen-page bibliography is provided.

Download or read book The Selection and Promotion of the Successful Police Officer written by Lawrence R. O'Leary and published by Charles C Thomas Pub Limited. This book was released on 1979 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines to help police personnel administrators develop and implement systematic selection and promotion procedures are presented. The objective of the book is not to identify specific tests or selection devices, but rather to outline a conceptual approach to selection and promotion and to provide basic tools for implementing the approach. Basically, the approach involves analyzing each job in the police department; identifying the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for performance of each job; developing a logical selection plan that is fair and psychometrically sound; and monitoring to minimize select errors and to modify procedures as necessary. Guidelines for identifying qualities necessary for good job performance at the ranks of line officer, sergeant, lieutenant and captain are provided. Specific methods for developing a selection plan are elaborated, with particular attention to establishing minimum qualifications through testing, interviewing, and job simulation. Fair employment issues and practices are also examined. Basic information on statistical analysis as it relates to selection and promotion procedures is provided. Also included is a description of the assessment center, a procedure in which candidates for promotion participate in simulation exercises designed to generate job-related behavior. The author has installed these centers for police agencies in Kansas City, Mo., and Rochester, N.Y., for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and for other agencies and organizations.
Download or read book Recruiting and Retaining America s Finest written by Jeremy M. Wilson and published by Rand Corporation Monograph. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Personnel management is a critical but oft neglected function of police organizations. While much attention is given to recruiting and retention, these are only tools for accomplishing a larger goal: achieving and maintaining the profile of officers by experience and rank that satisfies agency needs and officer career aspirations. Police agencies often have little ability to assess their organization and environment, and they receive little guidance on how best to build and maintain their workforces. In this monograph, the authors seek to fill the gap of information available to police agencies through a survey on their recruitment and retention practices. The survey, sent to every U.S. police agency with at least 300 sworn officers, sought to document such characteristics as authorized and actual strength by rank, officer work and qualifications, compensation, and recruiting efforts. The authors used these data to provide an overview of current recruitment and retention practices, to describe how they affected police recruitment and personnel profiles, and to identify future research needs. Findings include that police compensation, city size, and crime rates had statistically significant effects on police recruiting. Advertising and recruiting incentives had little effect on the number of recruits. Cohort sizes and structures highlighted current and future personnel management challenges. To facilitate comparative and longitudinal analyses of police staffing, the authors recommend ongoing national data collection."--P. [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Operation Police Manpower questionnaire was mailed to some 2,685 law enforcement agencies. Its purpose was to gather specific information about individual law enforcement agencies in the United States. We attempted to reach every agency for which we could obtain an address (state police, county police, county sheriff, city, town and village police). Those who had not responded within a reasonable time were sent a follow-up questionnaire. In the final analysis, we tallied 1,323 responses or 49.3% of those surveyed. This guide is divided into two sections. Section 1 is the data itself. Section 2 is the reference list of all the agencies surveyed.
Download or read book The Police Personnel Selection Process written by Leonard Territo and published by Bobbs-Merrill Company. This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for college students and as a reference for administrators, this book discusses the police personnel selection process, including equal employment opportunity guidelines. Police services often compose as much as 30 percent or more of a typical municipal or county budget, and personnel costs consume at least 80 percent of the total appropriation. Yet few police agencies emphasize the appropriate management of their human resources. The book provides detailed background information on the functions of a police personnel unit, employment qualifications, the decision to hire, the personnel investigator's role, and processing police applications. It discusses the evolution of equal employment opportunity and the impact of changes in such areas as height and weight requirements and educational qualifications on law enforcement. Detailed discussions are given on the written entrance examinations, medical and physical standards, and psychological and psychiatric assessment. The role of polygraphs and psychological stress evaluators are discussed, and a detailed description of the character investigation and oral interview is provided. The text focuses on the structure and value of field work in recruit training and the evaluation of probationary officers. Discussion also concentrates on the increasing regulatory complexity, police specialization and training, and litigation on discriminatory hiring practices facing police as well as further pressures for change in the operation and administration of police agencies. Finally, selected standards from the national advisory commission's report on police are outlined and appendixes provide materials used in police personnel selection. Notes and tabular data are provided for each chapter, and bibliographies with from 16 to over 100 entries follow four of the chapters.
