As figureheads of the most visible segment of criminal justice, today’s police administrators are forced to tackle challenges never faced by their predecessors. Heightened local and global threats, advanced technologies, and increased demands for procedural transparency require new levels of flexibility, innovative thinking, and the ability to foster and maintain relationships within the community. It is more crucial than ever to recruit and retain capable leaders to guide law enforcement agencies at this pivotal time in history. Covering areas such as leadership in policing, use of force, and understanding how the law shapes police practice, Handbook of Police Administration examines the key topics that must be considered by law enforcement professionals. Recognizing that police leaders need the skills and traits of a politician, accountant, attorney, field lieutenant, and futurist, the authors cover a variety of contemporary issues surrounding police administration and management. Divided into five thematic sections, it considers the legal aspects of overseeing a public sector organization, as well as how research, technology, and training can assist modern police leaders in performing their duties more effectively and efficiently. The book covers problematic issues such as officers accepting gratuities, undercover work, and the time criteria required for promotional consideration. It concludes with a chapter comparing administrative issues in Australia with many of the subjects previously addressed with regard to U.S. protocol. Using a range of perspective, differing viewpoints, and controversial issues, Handbook of Police Administration provides a springboard to stimulate discussion at the cutting-edge of debate in the dynamic field of policing.

This handbook was developed to assist superior police officers charged with management responsibilities and to help rank and file officers who want to attain higher administrative posts. Police administration is viewed largely as a personnel management problem, and human factors are considered to be more important than organizational forms and procedures. The handbook covers the establishment of police systems in England and the United States, the importance of police administration, and public attitudes. The organization of city police departments is also considered as well as the appointment, promotion, and removal of police officers. The handbook additionally explores police training, patrol operations, traffic regulation, detective services, special police services, arrests, and police compensation and welfare. The author makes a strong recommendation for higher police pay, improved police pension systems, better medical care, and increased sick leave allowances. He also suggests that police departments assume full responsibility for furnishing required police equipment.

This handbook provides reliable guidance on what to do next and offers practical, no-frills advice about what to do to counter the day-to-day challenges and outright calamities that make up the first-line leader’s work life. Perhaps even more important, it offers time-proven recommendations on how to prevent a bothersome situation from escalating into crisis proportions in the first place. It will prove equally useful to the veteran, novice or future law enforcement supervisor. Its sound advice will help him retain his emotional as well as physical and moral health in a real-world environment that seems to become more challenging every day. It will help him to lead and bring his people to share his practices and beliefs in doing a very critical job the right way. Just as it should be, the handbook is short on theory and long on “how to” advice. It is literally a resource that the supervisor can tuck into an equipment bag or otherwise keep close at hand. It likewise will aid him in carrying out the very practical tasks of communicating effectively; evaluating employee performance, correcting inappropriate behavior and helping his officers survive both on the street and in the police organization. Meanwhile, the handbook will assist the law enforcement leader in working well with his own boss and planning his own career. There is no job description in the world quite like that of first-line law enforcement boss. The job is as unique as it is difficult and vital to the success of any successful police organization. This book will help them become even better at their very important job.

Excerpt from American Police Administration: A Handbook on Police Organization, and Methods of Administration, in American Cities American police administration should not be confused with a manual on police practice and procedure. Administration relates to the organization, super vision and control of processes of police work; police practice and procedure relate to the actual doing of daily routine work. This study has been pursued with a full under 1 standing of the proper limitations of a treatise on the principles of administration. One of the chief sources of this work has been the material gathered and developed by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research during the course of some thirteen years devoted to the study of the problems of police administration and to the making of administrative surveys in many of the large cities of the United States. Mr. Graper has refined this wealth of raw material and that found in police reports, state laws and city charters, and through comparisons and selection has been able to set forth the best practices prevailing in police administration. This handbook will be useful to the superior police officer who is charged with the task of management and to those members of the rank and file who would aspire to fit themselves for higher administrative posts.

Police Administration, 11th Edition, is a best-selling textbook that examines police administration from multiple perspectives: a systems perspective (emphasizing the interrelatedness among units and organizations); a traditional, structural perspective (administrative principles, management functions, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioral perspective (the human element in organizations); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, performance evaluation, strategies and tactics, and prevailing and promising approaches to increasing effectiveness of police agencies). Management functions and organizational principles are defined and explained while providing an emphasis on evidence-based policing, diversity principles, and developing police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding chapter covers contemporary themes such as community engagement and collaboration, important issues such as police legitimacy and predictive policing, and modern management perspectives such as emotional intelligence and servant leadership. Case studies based on real-life events invite students to practice managing conflicting circumstances, and Modern Policing blog posts offer up-to-date news and breaking developments in the policing world. This book is suitable for undergraduates studying police management and supervision in the US and for practitioners seeking promotion to senior management roles. The ancillaries available include instructor’s manual, test bank, and lecture slides for faculty and case studies for student use.
