Résumé
The Task Force on Governance and Cultural Change in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police requested assistance from the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to examine internal and external oversight bodies for police forces. PERF was contracted to research and analyze internal management structures of police forces to: highlight structures that incorporate appropriate challenge and oversight into executive decision-making; describe structural alternatives in place that enhance executive accountability to internal stake holders; assess a wide array of police force internal management structures and identify best practices based on accountability, transparency and results.
