Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative single case study set forth to discover how working for an identified servant leadership law enforcement agency influenced the wellbeing of police officers. The study took place in a police department located in the Southwestern United States. The department involved in this study had openly adopted the servant leadership philosophy and their executive leaders have been publicly identified as servant leaders. The purpose of the study was to discover how members of the police department understand their own wellbeing as a result of being a member of an identified servant leadership agency. The results of the study support the position that serving with a servant leadership law enforcement agency positively influences the wellbeing of officers. The study’s implication is that it strengthens the argument for infusing servant leadership into law enforcement organizations as a way to improve the health and wellbeing of officers and the communities they serve.

Download or read book Servant Leadership and Employee Resilience in Law Enforcement Officers written by Amie D. Bowman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the relationship between servant leadership (SL) and employee resilience (ER) among law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers' desire to serve and protect aligns with servant leadership's underlying assumption that servant leaders, at their core, want to serve their followers. Therefore, servant leadership could be an important leadership model for police officers. The primary intent of this dissertation study was to add to servant leadership model-development research by investigating a potential outcome of this style of leadership. The secondary intent was to assist police managers in identifying specific leadership behaviors that improve officers' resilience in the workplace. This study used a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional survey research design. The Servant Leadership Scale (SL-28) measured the independent variable, the Employee Resilience Scale (EmpRes) measured the dependent variable, and the five demographic variables -- (a) leader gender, (b) leader rank, (d) respondent gender, (d) respondent time in law enforcement, and (e) department/agency size--contextualized the survey's results. The degree of skewness and lack of linearity in all of the data for each of the variables in this study prevented the central limit theorem from applying in this case, which made non-parametric correlation analysis the only viable statistical test with which to examine this dataset. Spearman's rho correlation coefficients indicated that all seven dimensions of servant leadership had a weak to moderate statistically significant relationship (p

Book excerpt: Danger. Duty. Distrust. These three words accurately describe the everyday life of a cop: on and off duty. The danger and duty of protecting and serving comes with the job. Over my 26 year career, many people have told me, "I could never be a cop." They never heard the call to live the law enforcement officer's life of danger and duty. For others, it is an inherent distrust, and almost hatred, of police officers. But most people don't realize the distrust they have of cops is a two way street. Warrior, Servant, Leader. Three words citizens do not typically associate with cops. You hear the word cop and picture a guy in uniform, gun and badge and handcuffs, arresting someone or racing down the street with lights and siren screaming "get out of my way!" If you are stopped by a cop, you secretly say to yourself, "Why is he harassing me?" If you need a cop, one is never around. If you are a cop, you spend some days wishing "stupidity" was a crime so you could take everyone you meet to jail. This book will take a look at the Warriors, Servants and Leaders who wear the uniform of Law Enforcement. Life behind the badge is a life most cops guard and treasure. You will get a hard look at a life most people can only imagine. The stories and lessons shared are about cops, but this book applies also to the Warriors, Servants and Leaders in all walks of life. If you are a spouse or parent or businessman, student or pastor or your hardest job is just being yourself, the principles and lessons are entirely applicable. Take the Warrior-Servant-Leader self assessment at the end of the book to enhance your vision and journey as a Warrior, Servant and Leader. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Download or read book Cultivating Community focused Norms in Law Enforcement written by Daniel Brice Baker and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salient incidents of officer misconduct, violence, and disrespect toward citizens threaten public safety and weaken the legitimacy of the police. With an eye toward improving police-community relations, law enforcement organizations employ multiple strategies to alter the approaches of line-level officers. Law enforcement organizations implement recruitment and retention strategies to better represent the demographics of communities they serve, body-worn cameras to improve accountability in police-civilian interactions, and early-intervention systems designed to identify problematic officers. Alternatively, some organizations implement community-focused reform efforts that shift the approach of police from an “us vs them” mentality to a co-productive, community-centered approach, which has been shown to improve citizen satisfaction with police. Despite efforts to improve police-community relations, law enforcement organizations have been unable to overcome decades of unequal service provision and repeated instances of officer misconduct. Some of these failures may be a product of the informal systems within policing that are charged with carrying out reform, highlighting a need to better understand how informal systems within policing inform the attitudes and approaches of line-level officers. Efforts to understand these effects exist in a limited but growing body of research investigating intra-organizational dynamics and the motivations or attitudes of line-level officers. This study builds on this work by examining the influence of servant leadership practices and work-unit climate on officer support for procedurally fair policing practices, officer willingness to report peer misconduct, and officer community citizenship behavior. There is evidence that leaders play a role in informing the attitudes of street-level bureaucrats (e.g., Wright and Pandey 2010; Keulemans and Groeneveld 2020); however, there are fewer examples of research investigating the influence of servant leadership in the public sector (e.g., Shim, Park, Kuem, and Kim 2020), and still fewer examining the effects of servant leadership on attitudes in law enforcement. Furthermore, while law enforcement organizations rely on accountability systems to improve performance, relatively little research has explored the effects of accountability climates on the climate within the organization or the attitudes and approaches of line-level officers. This dissertation addresses these gaps in the literature by addressing four key questions: (1) Are higher levels of servant leadership associated with line-level officer attitudes about community-focused approaches to policing? (2) What are the pathways through which servant leaders influence line-level officer attitudes about community-focused approaches to policing? (3) Do work-unit climates that consist of high pressure for officer activity weaken the effectiveness of servant leadership? And (4) Do work-unit climates that consist of high levels of internal political behavior weaken the effectiveness of servant leadership? To address the key questions in this dissertation, I collected original survey data from a large law enforcement organization. I analyze survey responses from enforcement personnel (response rate: 61%) across two surveys administered at two different time points. I anticipate that servant leadership behaviors from post commanders will be associated with higher perceptions of prosocial impact and work-unit identification, and that these psychological mechanisms will be associated with officer attitudes that prioritize the community. In addition, I anticipate that unit climates that remove officers from their impact on the community – in the forms of accountability pressure or political behavior within units – moderate the effect that effective servant leadership has on officer attitudes, rendering servant leaders less effective when facing these climates. Results of multilevel regression analysis suggest that servant leadership is significantly associated with higher prosocial impact and unit identification, and that these key psychological constructs are positively associated with support for community-focused approaches to policing. Additionally, the results of parallel mediation analysis and multilevel mediation analysis suggest that prosocial impact and unit identification mediate the relationship between servant leadership and key outcomes. The direct relationship between servant leadership and attitudinal outcomes is non-significant; however, servant leadership influences outcomes indirectly through influencing psychological constructs. Finally, the effects of servant leadership on outcomes are robust across different unit climates. Specifically, the results of moderated mediation analysis suggest that unit climates wherein officers perceive accountability pressure or political behavior in their units do not disrupt the effect that servant leaders have on officer attitudes through key mediators. However, the results show significant direct effects of pressure and political behavior on key mechanisms, echoing findings that unit climate has a strong influence on individual-level approaches of line-level officers. These findings make noteworthy contributions to public administration research and practice. This is one of the first studies to examine the effects of servant leadership in a law enforcement context, and the results inform our understanding of the attitudes and approaches of street-level bureaucrats, as well as efforts to repair police-community relations. In addition, these results inform our understanding of potential negative effects of climate stemming from performance management and accountability systems in law enforcement organizations, highlighting the importance of identifying alternative mechanisms that may motivate officers to prioritize the community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nation where trust and respect between law enforcement and the communities they serve is at an all-time low, it's obvious that "business as usual" no longer works for either. A paradigm shift in policing-from the officers on the streets to the leaders who oversee them-is vitally needed. Out From Us: Servant Leadership for Law Enforcement Professionals in the 21st Century offers a groundbreaking exploration of how adopting servant leadership principles can revolutionize the way law enforcement agencies operate and interact with the public. The principles themselves are nothing new. As author and Burke County, GA Sheriff Alfonzo Williams-a law enforcement leader and educator for over three decades-shows, servant leadership is rooted in the traditions of Sir Robert Peel's Principles of Policing, introduced nearly two hundred years ago and securing Peel's place in history as the "Father of Modern Policing." These principles emphasize the importance of community cooperation, ethical conduct, and maintaining public trust as the foundation for effective and legitimate law enforcement, so that the public views law enforcement as "of us" rather than "out from us." Along the way, Williams outlines his "7 Deadly Sins of Law Enforcement Leadership," in which he demonstrates how the misuse or inappropriate prioritization of power, position, politics, popularity, prestige, paychecks, and pension have contributed to the decay of the relationship between law enforcement and the public. He also provides examples of cases ripped from the headlines (including a detailed examination of the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis, TN) that exemplify just how tragically straying from the principles of servant leadership can manifest. Out From Us challenges law enforcement professionals, community leaders, and policymakers to reimagine the role of police in society. By embracing servant leadership, we can work towards creating safer, more inclusive, and more harmonious communities for all.

Download or read book The Impact of Servant Leadership and Christ centered Followership on the Problem of Police Brutality Against Minorities written by Daniel Eugene Reinhardt and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes that a law enforcement leadership model predicated on Christ-centered followership with a biblical metaphorical shepherding framework enhanced by servant leadership can shape individual officers and the police subculture. As a result, the leadership model can serve as an internal safeguard against police brutality in areas characterized by high concentrations of racial minorities. Core principles and a leadership framework are drawn from Christ-centered followership for the law enforcement context, and servant leadership characteristics are integrated into the framework to enhance the model. As a result of the synthesis, the servant and shepherd model emerges as an applicable construct for law enforcement leaders to address the pattern of social distance, dehumanization, and power abuse that plagues police leadership and the overall police subculture. The new leadership model and a transformed police subculture can support organically a philosophy and methodology of policing that promotes harmony and peace in minority-communities, specifically African-American communities.

Download or read book Police Organization and Wellbeing written by Jamie Ferrill and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the study of a police organization in England, this book explores the role of social relations in the ways that people construct, mobilize, consume, and reconstruct meaning about wellbeing. Wellbeing is a powerful, institutionalized concept in police organizations across England and Wales. With the emergence of numerous policies, strategies, and practices that both explicitly and implicitly address wellbeing in the workplace, the concept has come to feature prominently. Wellbeing is addressed as an issue that needs to be understood intersubjectively by attending to the underlying social issues that shape how it is promoted or denied. After a theoretical exploration of police culture and wellbeing, the book traverses ethnographic data and captures insights from individuals across the organization’s hierarchy. It explores what individuals perceive wellbeing to mean and how they make sense of the concept. The book reveals discernible ideological-laden tensions across the hierarchy in terms of wellbeing constructions. By exploring these tensions, there is a potential to understand the constructions of wellbeing and the resultant implications for practice. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students in policing, criminology, criminal justice, leadership/management, organizational behaviour, and wellbeing. Given its empirical focus and applicability to practitioners, it will also be of interest to a range of non-academics, including police officers and leaders, public servants, private organizations, policymakers, and human resources professionals.
