Police Supervision and Management: In an Era of Community Policing

Collectively possessing more than 100 years of practical (administrative, managerial, supervisory) and academic experience, the authors of this book give its chapters a “real-world” flavor not often found in other volumes. They provide readers with a comprehensive look at the challenging roles of police supervisors and managers; exciting and up-to-date coverage of issues, trends, and tactics; and focus on timely topics such as terrorism and policing in the community policing era. A four-part presentation contains expanded discussions of relevant and timely topics—e.g., community policing and problem solving, ethics, patrol, critical incidents and disasters, organizational behavior, and administrative theory. For individuals working in the police field, use in law enforcement agencies, training academies, and in preparing for promotional examinations.
