Summary
The goal of this publication, which is based on the discussions that occurred at the three roundtable meetings and on individual interviews with participants, is to provide promising strategies for how labor and management leaders can work together to address the key challenges they face and to strengthen trust and collaboration between police executives and labor leaders. To examine the role that labor and management relationships play in this new era of policing, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), with support from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), convened three labor and management roundtable discussions in 2014-15.
