Résumé
"The primary focus of this study pertains to how society should better go about selecting the right chief of police who possesses the skills, knowledge, experiences, and abilities to provide the best police service possible to the residents of the Province of Ontario. This study addresses knowledge factors, learning and training issues, rather than testing procedures and selection methods. In addition, it addresses the role of chief of police and what makes it different philosophically from that of the members of the "rank and file." Important differences exist not only in terms of duties, obligations, and responsibilities but also in working relationships, affiliations, and personal values. ... How today's changing society impacts on policing is also discussed, along with recommendations for improving the chief selection process."--Abstract.
