As we approach the 21st century, there is a discernable shift in
policing, from an incident-driven perspective to a proactive
problem solving stance often described as "community policing." In
this volume a panel of 21 psychologists examine the changing
directions in policing and how such changes impact on psychological
service delivery and operational support to law enforcement
agencies. The book describes existing and emerging means of
providing psychological support to the law enforcement community in
response to police needs to accommodate new technology,
community-oriented problem solving technology, crime prevention,
and sensitivity to community social changes. Senior psychologists
who are sworn officers, federal agents and civilian employees of
federal, state and local law enforcement agencies comprise the team
of chapter authors. Their perspectives encompass their collective
experience "in the trenches" and in law enforcement management and
administrative support roles. They discuss traditional applications
of psychology to police selection, training and promotion
processes, and in trauma stress management and evaluation of
fitness for duty. Concerns related to police diversity and police
family issues are also addressed, as are unique aspects of police
stress management. Additional chapters are dedicated to
establishing psychological service functions that currently are
less familiar to police agencies than they are to other government
and private sector service recipients. These chapters are devoted
to police psychologists as human resource professionals, as human
factors experts in accommodating to new technology and to new legal
requirements, as organizational behavioral experts, and as
strategic planners. This text is recommended reading for two
groups: *police and public safety administators whose work takes
them--or should take them--into contact with police psychologists;
*practicing and would-be police psychologists concerned with the
emerging trends in the application of psychology to police and
other public safety programs.
