The Times 7/8/2020 News The Lived Experience of Police Leadership Development: A Phenomenological Study Law Enforcement services in the United States are currently faced with complex and ever changing challenges. Police leaders must be fluid and adaptive in order to effectively navigate an ever-fluctuating operational environment. Police leadership development has been identified as critical in preparing law enforcement executives to effectively negotiate these complicated issues. A gap in the research exists concerning law enforcement executives and their lived experiences of leadership development training and this training’s effect on their executive skills. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to provide a better understanding of the lived experiences of uniformed federal police agency executives and their leadership development. A goal of this research was to examine data from uniformed federal police agency leaders regarding their experiences of their leadership development and its influence on their executive law enforcement proficiencies. A purposeful sample of five uniformed federal police agency leaders from the nine largest uniformed federal police agencies was utilized. This sample size may have limited transferability or generalizability. Interviews were conducted telephonically and data was collected using a standardized questionnaire with open-ended questions. The data was analyzed using Moustaka’s (1994) modified Van Kaam model.

Findings cover the six state, one federal and one territory police departments. The study was prompted by media reports on affirmative action initiatives, especially the introduction of recruitment targets. The primary aim was to identify successful or promising strategies to increase the number of female officers, with possible transferable lessons. A secondary aim was to assess the level of accountability in terms of public reporting by police about methods and outcomes. The main finding was that four of the eight departments had introduced explicit 50:50 male-female recruitment targets, and five departments had been operating female targeted recruitment campaigns. The majority of departments with targeted campaigns recorded large increases in female recruit numbers, although within the study time frame only one showed a clear flow-through to substantially increased officer numbers. Overall, there was a lack of adequate data, including male-female application numbers; and information about selection criteria was inadequate. The personal commitment and discretion of police commissioners appeared to be a key factor in the adoption of affirmative action initiatives. These findings provide valuable lessons for improved police performance and accountability in gender equity across the world.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 6/8/2020 Feature, Opinion Motivation to Enter the Police Profession in the Post-Ferguson Era: An Exploratory Analysis of Procedural Justice The process-based model of regulation has become a dominant framework for understanding why people obey the law. Grounded in past and present research, the current study explores how the process-based model of regulation may explain motivational differences for entering the police profession in the post-Ferguson time era: a time period in which police agencies are expressing increased difficulties recruiting and hiring new officers. Some commentators have attributed these challenges to the heightened levels of public and media scrutiny. Considering the hiring challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, the current study investigates whether students’ (i.e. prospective police officers) motivation to enter the police profession is influenced by the procedurally just treatment of individuals by the police. Using a sample of college students from two universities, the findings provide support for the aforementioned inquiry. The implications of these findings are contextualized against the backdrop of the Ferguson Effect, procedural justice, and hiring challenges in the police profession.

Police Journal 6/8/2020 Research article US Law Enforcement’s Role in Victim Compensation Dissemination Victim compensation programs seek to alleviate adverse effects of victimization and repay victim losses. A few studies have concluded that US compensation programs are under-utilized because victims are unaware of such programs and police officers overlook sharing the information. The present study sought to further explore this issue from the perspective of state compensation directors and police executives. Survey respondents were asked their opinions about police officers’ basic knowledge of victims’ compensation programs, reasons for under-utilization of the programs, and the most effective ways to inform victims of their right to compensation. Surveys were administered to 38 state compensation directors and 23 law enforcement executives from across the US. Survey results confirmed the belief that many eligible victims are not receiving compensation and that better training of patrol officers on compensation eligibility and benefits was needed. However, just one in 10 of the state directors implicated police failure to notify victims as a major reason for victims not filing claims.
