It is crucial for law enforcement departments to be represented by effective leaders and others in official positions of power. Law enforcement officers are exposed to dangerous and traumatic situations daily. Thus, police officers require leaders and supervisors who will motivate and properly guide them. The proposed study will examine the correlation between leadership styles and employee motivation. The significance of research in leadership and employee motivation in a high-risk profession is prominent given the recent events of George Floyd's death and the subsequent riots across the world. The proposed study will analyze four different leadership styles: authoritative, transactional, transformational and laissez-faire leadership style. Using a proposed survey, quantitative data can be collected from current Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) police officers from 77th Division. This study can provide the LAPD baseline data to assess how their leaders can motivate their sworn personnel.
