Summary
"Citizens have demanding expectations – they often want a return of police on the beat, have strong views on alternative justice/sentencing approaches, and are requesting that police services across the country re-examine how they deal with ethnic minorities, young offenders, and domestic violence offenders. These pressures, and others, are causing police services to fundamentally re-assess the way they operate. This has a particular impact on how they manage human resource policies, procedures and practices. Staffing decisions, leadership approaches and management frameworks in the policing community require new attention and consideration if police organizations intend to remain relevant and effective over the next decade and more."--Page 1.
