As figureheads of the most visible segment of criminal justice,
today's police administrators are forced to tackle challenges never
faced by their predecessors. Heightened local and global threats,
advanced technologies, and increased demands for procedural
transparency require new levels of flexibility, innovative
thinking, and the ability to foster and maintain relationships
within the community. It is more crucial than ever to recruit and
retain capable leaders to guide law enforcement agencies at this
pivotal time in history.
Covering areas such as leadership in policing, use of force, and
understanding how the law shapes police practice, Handbook of
Police Administration examines the key topics that must be
considered by law enforcement professionals. Recognizing that
police leaders need the skills and traits of a politician,
accountant, attorney, field lieutenant, and futurist, the authors
cover a variety of contemporary issues surrounding police
administration and management. Divided into five thematic sections,
it considers the legal aspects of overseeing a public sector
organization, as well as how research, technology, and training can
assist modern police leaders in performing their duties more
effectively and efficiently. The book covers problematic issues
such as officers accepting gratuities, undercover work, and the
time criteria required for promotional consideration. It concludes
with a chapter comparing administrative issues in Australia with
many of the subjects previously addressed with regard to U.S.
protocol.
Using a range of perspective, differing viewpoints, and
controversial issues, Handbook of Police Administration provides a
springboard to stimulatediscussion at the cutting-edge of debate in
the dynamic field of policing.
