Book excerpt: To one extent or another, dealing with the news media is a fact of life for every American law enforcement leader. However, news organizations, although a pain at times, can aid law enforcement in a number of ways.

The "news" is defined and broken down into some of its technical, component parts. The secrets for establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with reporters are revealed, including the absolute necessity for credibility on the part of the law enforcement leader. Common sense policies and procedures concerning relations with the news media, and the importance of an effective Public Information Officer (PIO) is explored.

Download or read book Race Riots and the Police written by Howard Rahtz and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reflected almost daily in headlines, the enormous rift between the police and the communities they serve--especially African American communities--remains one of the major challenges facing the United States. And race-related riots continue to be a violent manifestation of that rift. Can this dismal state of affairs be changed? Can the distrust between black citizens and the police ever be transformed into mutual respect? Howard Rahtz addresses this issue, first tracing the history of race riots in the US and then drawing on both the lessons of that history and his own first-hand experience to offer a realistic approach for developing and maintaining a police force that is a true community partner."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book In Pursuit of Excellence Leadership Lessons for Law Enforcement written by Daniel D. Terry and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written specifically for the leadership and management needs of the law enforcement professional. Most examples in this book are real-life examples and will relate directly to law enforcement, and therefore should be practical to the law enforcement professional. This book will discuss many principles of leadership. It will provide stories, examples, and experiences that offer lessons and takeaways linked directly to leadership principles. It will also dive into management and law enforcement-specific topics as to how you might drive performance, maintain accountability, or just do a more effective job as a supervisor. The ideas and suggestions made in this book are founded on sound leadership behaviors. The content is practical, and though the foundational leadership principles are nothing new, they are presented differently and specifically to law enforcement. Everything rises and falls on your ability to lead. All the supervisors in your organization may be carrying out the same tasks as expected of your organization's management. However, whether they are successful or whether their work group is effective will depend on the type of leaders they are. This book shows how a person can take action to eliminate or minimize leadership voids to enhance their ability to lead and develop high-performing, successful work groups. The book has a useful appendix, and references have been included for the reader to continue to grow and seek out materials that reinforce the principles presented.

Download or read book Law Enforcement Media Relations written by California Peace Officers' Association. Police Community Relations Committee and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this publication is to assist law enforcement to recognize and understand the needs and requirements of the media and to help the media understand the methods, policies, and constraints governing law enforcement. Often, without this mutual understanding, conflict arises between the right of the press to obtain information for dissemination to the public and the agency's responsibility to protect an investigation or the victim of a crime. As much as possible, clear-cut policies and procedures must be established and reduced to writing by the law enforcement agencies. These policies should be established in cooperation with the media, and should cover unusual, as well as routine, occurrences. The policies should establish lines of communication between both professions, and include what will be released, when certain releases are to be made and who is to release it. While law enforcement shares the responsibility for the initial notification of the media of newsworthy events, the media must be responsible for creating any pooling method through which law enforcement makes those notifications. This method must be convenient to law enforcement and expeditious to the media. Training is probably the most effective means of communicating the necessity for mutual cooperation, and is the responsibility of both the media and law enforcement. Because so much of the contact between the media and law enforcement is at the line level, the beat reporter and field officer must have a clear understanding of the others' requirements and constraints. Without this understanding, no amount of liaison between managers will overcome the friction that frequently develops at the "working level." The information in this manual was developed by representatives of the news media and law enforcement. It is divided into several major topic areas. The most important of these is the establishment of a written law enforcement-media policy. By adopting this policy individual agencies create their direction, attitude, and philosophy in this area. This is important because it influences the relationship the agency enjoys with the public and the news media. These relationships oftentime determine law enforcement effectiveness.

Download or read book Policing the Media written by David D. Perlmutter and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-10 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing the Media is an investigation into one of the paradoxes of the mass-mediated age. Issues, events, and people that we "see" most on our television screens are often those that we understand the least. David Perlmutter examined this issue as it relates to one of the most frequently portrayed groups of people on television: police officers. Policing the Media is a report on the ethnography of a police department, derived from the author′s experience riding on patrol with officers and joining the department as a reserve policeman. Drawing upon interviews, personal observations, and the author′s black-and-white photographs of cops and the "clients," Perlmutter describes the lives and philosophies of street patrol officers. He finds that cops hold ambiguous attitudes toward their television comrades, for much of TV copland is fantastic and preposterous. Even those programs that boast gritty realism little resemble actual police work. Moreover, the officers perceive that the public′s attitudes toward law enforcement and crime are directly (and largely nefariously) influenced by mass media. This in turn, he suggests, influences the way that they themselves behave and "perform" on the street, and that unreal and surreal expectations of them are propagated by television cop shows. This cycle of perceptual influence may itself profoundly impact the contemporary criminal justice system, on the street, in the courts, and in the hearts and minds of ordinary people.

Download or read book The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems written by Daniel Adrian Doss and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myriad forms of communication occur within the criminal justice system as judges and attorneys speak to juries, law enforcement officers interact with the public, and the news media presents stories of events in courtrooms. Hindrances abound, however. Law enforcement officers and justice system personnel often encounter challenges that affect their ability to communicate with others, ranging from language barriers, to conflicting accounts of witnessed events, to errors caused by malfunctioning technology. Examining the relevancy of the U.S. Constitution to modern communications, The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems demonstrates how information is conveyed from multiple perspectives in a range of scenarios, enabling readers to see how these matters relate to and affect the criminal justice system. Topics covered include: How to use the communications process within the justice system from the crafting of messages through the solicitation of feedback Effective methods for persuading individuals and audiences Federal regulations in the workplace and workplace communications tactics How law enforcement and public safety entities use marketing and advertising to influence the general public How to use multimedia resources when communicating Using multiple communications styles to support effective leadership The book concludes with discussions on innovations in communication technology, natural language processing, cybernetics, and other emerging concepts. With an emphasis on logical reasoning in communication, the book explores the perspectives of numerous players in the justice system, from patrol officers to attorneys. Supplemented by examples of written communication templates that can be adapted within a law enforcement organization, it provides readers with solid theoretical and applied approaches to the subject matter.

Download or read book Police Leadership and Management written by Margaret Mitchell and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the new contexts and challenges for contemporary police leaders and managers in the changing landscapes of policing. The governance of contemporary police organisations requires leaders and managers, even at the local level, to work in and understand complex social, political and organisational environments. The wide range of topics in this collection explores what is changing, what is known about the impact of these changes and what leaders and managers now need to be able to do or anticipate as a consequence. Operational policing is no longer the militaristic singular activity it once was, but embraces new models of 'partnership' and 'community' to manage crime and disorder. Equally, while command and control models are still an essential of many aspects of policing, managing police officers and staff increasingly depends on their professional development and encouraging enthusiasm and innovation. Policing takes place under conditions of intense scrutiny from the media and from the community; and crime and disorder is the subject of much political debate. Each of these broad areas are addressed and present a surprising range of perspectives. The volume is aimed at every level of management and leadership in policing, researchers of policing and students of police management and leadership.
