Download or read book Basic Handbook of Police Supervision A Practical Guide for Law Enforcement Supervisors written by Gerald W. Garner and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated handbook provides reliable guidance on what to do next and offers practical, no-frills advice about what to do to counter the day-to-day challenges and outright calamities that make up the first-line leader’s work life. Perhaps even more important, it offers time-proven recommendations on how to prevent a bothersome situation from escalating into crisis proportions in the first place. It will prove equally useful to the veteran, novice or future law enforcement supervisor. Its sound advice will help him retain his emotional as well as physical and moral health in a real-world environment that seems to become more challenging every day. It will help him to lead and bring his people to share his practices and beliefs in doing a very critical job the right way. Just as it should be, the handbook is short on theory and long on “how to” advice. It is literally a resource that the supervisor can tuck into an equipment bag or otherwise keep close at hand. It likewise will aid him in carrying out the very practical tasks of communicating effectively; evaluating employee performance, correcting inappropriate behavior and helping his officers survive both on the street and in the police organization. A new chapter has been added on the topic of how to lead successfully during the current, very challenging environment for law enforcement, entitled “How to Lead During Challenging Times.” Summary boxes have been interspersed throughout the text that emphasize important points for police leaders to remember. Meanwhile, the handbook will assist the law enforcement leader in working well with his own boss and planning his own career. There is no job description in the world quite like that of first-line law enforcement boss. The job is as unique as it is difficult and vital to the success of any successful police organization. This book will help them become even better at their very important job.

Download or read book Police Supervision written by Gerald W. Garner and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for police supervisors, this text emphasizes the importance of good judgment, prudence, and logic in police supervision and relates these traits to the varied skills and talents that police leadership requires. The definition and function of supervision are discussed, and the special ethics involved in police supervision are examined as they relate to both subordinates and superiors. The text then presents guidelines for performing each of the supervisor's many jobs. A discussion of the leadership role emphasizes the value of leading by example, the importance of 'command presence, ' the hazards to effective leadership, and the significance of morale as a leadership tool. Techniques and evaluation of instruction are examined in a review of the supervisor's role as educator, and a list of instructional aids is provided. A chapter on the supervisor's role as evaluator discusses techniques and implementation of evaluation programs and discusses the merits of inspection and related followup activities to ensure success of evaluation procedures. A section on discipline outlines requirements for fair and effective disciplinary practices and places importance on involvement of line supervisors throughout the disciplinary mechanism. Additional chapters analyze such elements of the planning function as personnel deployment, evaluation of available resources, preparation for special events, and the establishment of goals and objectives for subordinates. They discuss the supervisor's need for good communication skills and examine counseling considerations in supervisor-subordinate relationships. Besides suggestions for problem solving with counseling, the text indicates sources of professional help. In addition, the supervisor's increasingly important role as a grievance processor is discussed. Police supervisors receive and investigate complaints of police misconduct, deal with complaints from subordinates, and cope with contemporary labor problems. The final two chapters focus on special problems in law enforcement supervision, such as survival in a bureaucracy, internal strife in the agency, response to charges of corruption or incompetence, and methods of preparing for the work of police supervisor. An index is provided.

Download or read book The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units written by Tomas C. Mijares and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major responsibility of the leadership of any specialized police unit is the awareness of endlessly changing societal, legal, and managerial developments that affect operations. This third edition of The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units represents a significant updating and expansion of each of the chapters from previous editions. In addition to explaining the steps for developing and maintaining a realistic and effective response to increasingly violent levels of crime, this edition discusses the social, political, and technological matters that must be continuously identified, defined, and resolved prior to the implementation of any substantive or procedural change in tactical policy and practice. Legal and operational guidelines are provided to help tactical leaders to develop their leadership abilities and tactical success, thereby enhancing the tactical unit’s ability to safeguard the public. The authors make extensive use of the latest court decisions to provide the legal bases for operations as well as recent case histories to illustrate the various aspects of organizational management. These case histories do much more than summarize the sequence of events. They also point out what was learned from the successes and failures alike. Of particular interest is the new material on how the range of activities assigned to tactical units has expanded dramatically since September 11, 2001 and how the law enforcement community has been forced to respond to its newest critics. Emphasis is placed on how decision-makers must not only be organizational managers and administrators but also on how they should possess a firm grasp of confrontation tactics and leadership principles.

Download or read book LATINO POLICE OFFICERS IN THE UNITED STATES written by Martin Guevara Urbina and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the long-lasting and complicated history of U.S. race and ethnic relations, the multiple array of issues currently confronting both ethnic and racial communities, and the shifting trends in the ethnic/racial landscape, this book seeks to provide a comprehensive account of the simultaneous interaction of pressing historical and contemporary forces shaping the Latino experience as well as police-minority relations to better understand the current state of policing and gain further insight into the future role of Latino police in American law enforcement across the country. Delineating the confines of policing a highly diverse and multicultural society in the twenty-first century, this book conjoins historical, theoretical, and empirical research–placing Latino policing within a broader law enforcement and community context. Major topics include the need for Latino police officers; employment of Latino officers by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies; Chicano police officers working in the Latino community; Latino officers, policy, practice, and ethnic realities; Mexican American law enforcement; bridging the gaps, future research, and change in American institutions; policy recommendations toward a new police force; and the future of Latino officers in the American police. Additional issues highlighted include racial/ethnic profiling, police brutality, underpolicing, and overpolicing which challenge the quest for representation, equality, justice, and due process. Finally, the contributing authors demonstrate that the lack of knowledge on Latino police and the overall American police is not inevitable, and thus the book concludes with policy and research recommendations to help bridge this long-neglected void; ultimately, the creation of a new police force for the twenty-first century. The text represents a most timely and essential tool for all levels of policing, law enforcement administrators, criminal justice educators, civic managers, criminologists, sociologists, and others vested in police reform.
