o Describe the impact of Sir Robert Peel on American policing.
o Analyze the relationship between the U.S. government and the policing organizations throughout the United States.
o Explain how this relationship may affect police practices.

In his history of 20th-century policing, Fogelson (1977: 155) writes, ?Like doctors, lawyers, teachers, and engineers, policemen were expected to meet high admission standards, undergo extensive training, serve their clients, devote themselves to the public interest, subscribe to a code of ethics, and possess a wide range of extraordinary skills.? Yet police organizations (and other criminal justice organizations) tend to be highly formalized. Is it possible to consider police officers or other criminal justice front line workers as professionals like lawyers or doctors even though they are in highly rule-bound organizations such as police departments and correctional agencies? Explain why or why not. In your post, feel free to consider whether there are changes you would recommend (focusing in particular on organizational structure) for increasing professionalism in criminal justice agencies.

The following three supplemental readings on professionalism will be useful as you develop your post. The first is a book review by Katznelson (1979) of Fogelson's (1977) book Big-City Police (the source of the quotation above). The second provides a definition of professionalism in the context of reforms in the Los Angeles Police Department. The third discusses a new modern model of police professionalism. You may find it useful to incorporate material from one or more of these readings in your post.

Review the case study below "Motivation and Control: The Police Supervisor's Dilemma". In an 800-1,000 word essay, answer all of the case study questions that follow. If possible use other sources.

Motivation and Control:
The Police Supervisor?s Dilemma

Captain Frebe had spent a number of years watching some of his fellow officers find ways to avoid responsibility, ignore agency policies, and do just enough to get by. As
a member of the command staff, his memory of slackers was still fresh, and he was receiving complaints and rumors that a number of his officers were still effective at being deadwood. He also knew from his experience that most officers were intent on doing their job well, but the productive officers were often demoralized by the fact
the few deadwood officers usually got away with doing just enough to get by. Captain Frebe reasoned that a duty he owed to the productive officers was to make the slackers accountable for their lack of activity. He set out, therefore, to develop a highly structured system of accountability and a tighter system of supervisory authority.
Under his new system of supervisory accountability, Captain Frebe instructed his sergeants to exhibit a more invasive strategy of supervising rank and file officers. This meant sergeantswould spend more time on the street supervising officers, to hold them more accountable to rules and regulations. Sergeants were required to write up brief reports summarizing their evaluations of police performance. More frequent performance evaluations were required, and internal investigations to expose inappropriate behavior by officers were increased. Quota systems for parking and traffic tickets were also invoked. In addition, officers were required to submit daily activity reports that included odometer reading to measure mileage against activity reports.
Finally, incident reports were thoroughly scrutinized and randomly verified for content and accuracy. In Captain Frebe?s mind, this was the best way to address the slackers and deadwood in the department. Six months after implementing the new supervisory routines, the following outcomes were noticed by the higher-ups in the department: greater accountability was evidenced, with clearer indications of work being performed. For the administrative
brass, such initial findings were encouraging. Nevertheless, more ominous outcomes were also found. Sergeants were asking for more transfers from Captain Frebe?s district, absenteeism was rampant, internal investigations were at an all-time high, morale among the troops was abysmal, and the district was viewed by many veteran cops as the place where Captain ?hard balls? Frebe ran a tight but sinking ship.
Captain Frebe was encouraged by the initial findings of increased performance under his new system of supervisory accountability, but the negative effects of this new system on the morale of officers dismayed him. Did the officers really respect him, and what about the ?good cops? who were motivated to conform to the new accountability system? Was his concern for greater accountability too extreme and
detrimental to motivating officers to perform their best? Did he have to achieve a balance between control and officer accountability on the one hand and, on the other, a
loosening of the reins to motivate officers? Frustrated by the effect of his new program, Captain Frebe ask his old friend Sergeant Hamilton why his system was backfiring. Hamilton replied, ?When the hell do we have time to do police work??

Case Study Questions:
1. Is there a relationship between the amount of control desired in a police organization and the ability of police officials to create a motivating environment among rank-and-file officers? If so, how is balance arrived at between these two apparently opposite concerns in police organizations?

2. How could have Captain Frebe instituted the mechanisms for officer accountability without alienating officers? What role do officers have in creating a motivating environment within police organizations?

3. Is it true that you really cannot motivate persons in organizations? If this statement is true, then is there any role for administrators and managers in the motivation
of their employees? Are there unique concerns that face police supervisors that make motivation of employees difficult? If so, what are they, and how would you address them?

Police Manuals and Discretion
PAGES 2 WORDS 616

question 1
Most police organizations have in-depth policy and procedure manuals, rules and regulations, or standard operating procedures. Discuss the roles of these types of manuals and why they are, or are not, necessary in modern policing organizations.

question 2
Police officers need to utilize sound discretion. Discretion is subjective. There is no rule or regulation that can cover every conceivable task police officers perform. Discuss how you as a criminal justice manager would allow your officers to utilize discretion they need, but at the same time staying within the limits of department procedure and the laws.

Police Discipline
PAGES 6 WORDS 1847

Read the scenario below:

You are a manager within a criminal justice agency. One day, during duty hours, while speaking with Officer Joe you detect a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. Officer Joe has maintained the status of a top performer within your department; however, recently he has been displaying the following behavior:

Rebellious and violates the rules of the department

Displays a disheveled appearance

Is rude and disrespectful of other employees

Considering the above listed information, in a 6 page paper, develop a plan to deal with the Officer Joe problem. In your plan:

Identify the problems associated with this officer and possible causes.

Indicate what effects his actions can have upon the police organization.

Determine what your management priorities are.

Identify what options are available to you as a manager.

Design possible solutions to the problem (at least two); select the best solution.

Define what indicators determine success or failure of your solution.
