This book was released on 2004-04-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.

Download or read book Selected International Best Practices in Police Performance Measurement written by Robert Carl Davis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, police agencies have measured their performance against a very restricted set of crime-focused indicators, such as crime rates, arrests, and response times. However, modern police officers must be prepared to take on a wide variety of roles, from problem-solver to counselor and provider of first aid, among many others. Therefore, performance measures should be multidimensional to capture the complexity inherent in modern policing. In this era of tight budgets and deep cuts in municipal services, local officials have prioritized police performance improvement and the collection of measurable evidence to justify budget requests. Police departments also benefit from measuring performance; the results can help officials monitor department operations, promote adherence to policies and strategic plans, and detect patterns of bias or misconduct. By defining what is measured, executives send a signal to their command about what activities are valued and what results are considered important. Performance measures can also help track the progress of individual officers, the efficient use of funds, and many other indicators of organizational health. This report describes some of the key considerations involved in designing measures to evaluate law enforcement agencies. It also includes a framework for measuring performance and a detailed review of some international best practices.

Download or read book Proactive Policing written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proactive policing, as a strategic approach used by police agencies to prevent crime, is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. It developed from a crisis in confidence in policing that began to emerge in the 1960s because of social unrest, rising crime rates, and growing skepticism regarding the effectiveness of standard approaches to policing. In response, beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, innovative police practices and policies that took a more proactive approach began to develop. This report uses the term "proactive policing" to refer to all policing strategies that have as one of their goals the prevention or reduction of crime and disorder and that are not reactive in terms of focusing primarily on uncovering ongoing crime or on investigating or responding to crimes once they have occurred. Proactive policing is distinguished from the everyday decisions of police officers to be proactive in specific situations and instead refers to a strategic decision by police agencies to use proactive police responses in a programmatic way to reduce crime. Today, proactive policing strategies are used widely in the United States. They are not isolated programs used by a select group of agencies but rather a set of ideas that have spread across the landscape of policing. Proactive Policing reviews the evidence and discusses the data and methodological gaps on: (1) the effects of different forms of proactive policing on crime; (2) whether they are applied in a discriminatory manner; (3) whether they are being used in a legal fashion; and (4) community reaction. This report offers a comprehensive evaluation of proactive policing that includes not only its crime prevention impacts but also its broader implications for justice and U.S. communities.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for evidence-based practice to enhance current and future police training and assessment has never been greater. This need focuses on the procedures and findings of research within the field of police work along with the philosophy guiding these research approaches and commentaries on the methods being used. With many future directions for the science of police training and assessment, the focus on new training techniques and technologies for improving performance is of the upmost importance to find the best current, evidence-based practices for policing. In addition to these practices, understanding the practical realities and challenges of implementing cutting-edge procedures is essential in gaining a holistic view on police well-being and performance. Interventions, Training, and Technologies for Improved Police Well-Being and Performance is a critical publication that explores new training methods and technologies. The future of policing is poised to change, making the need for developments in evidence-based practices more important than ever before. New technology and techniques for improving performance and the perception of the police force can guide the policies and practices of law enforcement, trainers and academies, government officials, policymakers, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, to a more effective implementation of training and procedures. Including the perspective of police officers within the publication, this text offers insight into an often neglected viewpoint when creating training and policies. This text is also be beneficial for researchers, academicians, and students interested in the new training techniques, technologies, and interventions for police performance and well-being.

Download or read book Police and Policing written by Dennis Jay Kenney and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1989 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contributed work, this new book looks at the most recent knowledge of American policing and law enforcement research. The opening section of the book focuses on the issues concerning the policy as individuals, including the educational level of police officers, and how this has impacted on the performance of officers and the abilities of agencies to reach their goals. Issues concerning college and policing, the role of women and policing, and the use of psychological testing for the selection of police are explored. The book's second section looks at and reviews traditional approaches to policing. Topics cover, for example, the results of the Kansas City Preventative Patrol Experiment--perhaps the most well known and most controversial of police experiments. Other topics in this section include the range of activities that police actually do while on patrol, as well as the latest research by England's Home Office on how cases are solved by investigators. Section three of the volume focuses on the experimental methods of policing currently being tried around the country. The next section looks at policing the police, and gives the reader an opportunity to think about the ethical issues and the problems of controlling police power in a free society. The social implications of covert police actions are considered, and personal accounts of the individual impacts are provided in this section. The fifth section of the volume, focuses on citizen involvement in the law enforcement process, and important questions about citizen effectiveness and control are analyzed. Finally, the last section of the book looks at major issues of police management. This book is ideal for anyone interested in current issues in American policing and law enforcement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law enforcement profession is well aware of the need for performance-based management. Results are what count and programs are increasingly required to demonstrate that activities and programs are viable and worthy of budgetary support. This emphasizes the necessity of ensuring that the managerial processes foster accountability. To ensure success, it is essential that organizational leaders encourage and constantly supervise this management process. Performance improvement occurs when there is an ongoing process that creates strategic performance objectives, such as measures performance, collects, and analyses, which result in the reporting of performance data that can focus on improvement. The key chapter in the text is entitled “Accountability for Performance” inasmuch as it circumscribes the remainder of the concepts discussed, and reviews the necessity of creating an accountability environment fostered by positive communications. The pivotal aspects of accountability are discussed, and each of the five levels reviewed. Chapters deal with a range of potential evaluation tools to include logic models, crime mapping, program evaluation techniques, and problem solving. Considerable attention is given to performance measurement, the different types of measurement and commonly used measures in law enforcement. There is also a brief discussion of CompStat and its four principles with special emphasis on relentless follow-up and assessment. In addition, attention is given to the utilization of performance information and the research measurements that create process improvements. Within the proactive problem-solving process, the reader will find basic questions for the scanning process, objectives, means of defining a problem, environmental surveys, and the recognized sequence of analysis. Consideration is given to the discussion of data quality, verification, validation, and information sources. Law enforcement professionals, re-searchers, planners, policymakers, and stakeholders at all levels can use this text as a significant resource in the development of performance-based management that stresses accountability, competence and performance.

Download or read book Evaluating Dysfunctional Police Performance written by D. J. Van Meter and published by Charles C Thomas Pub Limited. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes Zero-Base (Z-Base), a system that objectively measures and rates police performance, determines if improvement is needed, and evaluates improvement. This system is based on the premise that all employees deserve a good evaluation score, and are guaranteed that they will receive one at the end of the evaluation cycle -- unless they have a performance problem and cannot or will not fix it. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the system and why a zero-based approach to performance evaluation is needed. This information should be used for conducting orientation training for all employees. Chapter 2 reviews the technical and legal issues associated with performance evaluation systems and how Z-Base addresses those issues. Chapter 3 provides information for developing the proper organizational infrastructure that must be in place before implementing Z-Base or any evaluation system. This includes mission, code of ethics, values statements, and job descriptions. Chapter 4 describes how to develop objective Priority Performance Measures (PPMs). Chapter 5 details how functional and dysfunctional performance data is gathered, analyzed, and rated. Chapter 6 explains how the Problem-Solving Conference (PSC) is conducted when a rating indicates that an employee's performance needs improved. PSCs are central to Z-Base and ensure that employees are given a fair opportunity to correct problem performances before the employee's evaluation score is affected. Chapter 7 explains Z-Scores and their calculation. A Z-Score is an employee's final evaluation score. Chapter 8 presents a plan for implementing Z-Base within the typical police services organization. The plan is grounded in organization change research and experiences helping agencies improve their evaluation systems.
