This study assessed the effects of prolonged telecommuting within the Singapore Police. Items on productivity, satisfaction with telecommuting, work-life effectiveness, feelings of safety, stress levels, connectedness to and support by colleagues, and supervisors were included. The study found that while prolonged telecommuting did not have any impact on levels of satisfaction with telecommuting, individuals with caregiving duties were significantly less satisfied with telecommuting than non-caregivers. Implications of the findings were discussed with respect to the necessary support required by officers while telecommuting. Recommendations on how individuals can practice self-care while telecommuting for prolonged periods were also proposed.

European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin - Registration at source 23/7/2021 Research article Garda associations told they will have “parity of esteem” with unions REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Department of Justice promises Garda bodies role in future pay talks and urges them to sign up to new agreement The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 23/7/2021 News Mental Health‐related Police Incidents: Results of A National Census Exercise in England and Wales The level of mental state incidents dealt with by police and the police resource involved is under-researched, often giving rise to un-evidenced claims around demand, response and resources. The 2019 National Police Chiefs’ Council and College of Policing definition of such incidents provides a useful basis for more accurate calculation: ‘Any police incident thought to relate to someone’s mental health where their vulnerability is at the centre of the incident or where the police have had to do something additionally or differently because of it’. In this mixed methods study, we first analysed data from records in two mixed inner city/urban/rural forces and one large multi-local authority metropolitan force. Secondly, we made an in-depth analysis of a sample of mental state-related incidents (n = 320) in two of these forces. Thirdly, we took a 24-hour snapshot of all such incidents in England and Wales. Mental state-related incidents accounted for 5.1% of recorded police contacts from the public, rising to just 7.8% when confining attention only to contacts that generated a police response beyond taking the call and recording it. Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health 23/7/2021 Research article Balancing the Deontological and Utilitarian Values of Inter-Institutional Management: the Case of Urban Policing Inter-institutional management struggles to balance the deontological and utilitarian values of public services. Urban policing exemplifies this subtle balance between the different yet complementary authorities and tools entrusted to municipalities and the police to ensure personal and environmental safety, and tackle the nuisances that negatively impact residents’ quality of life. Hence, democracies adopt different approaches to managing the interplay between municipalities and the police. Integrating the public value accounting, strategic triangle, and PerformanceStat approaches, we analyse the effective inter-institutional management of the local authorities and the police using three models of urban policing that currently exist in Israel. Based on in-depth interviews, we suggest an improved strategy that balances deontological and utilitarian values, and should result in financial savings, less need to use authority and force, sensitive enforcement services, and value for local residents.
