Important gains have been made, but this area remains in need of continued theoretical development. This study aims to further the theoretical and empirical analysis of police officers’ self-assessed legitimate authority. Data come from an officer survey distributed in a mid-sized department in the USA. Two conceptualizations and operationalizations of self-legitimacy are offered. Confirmatory factor analysis and ordinary least squares regression modeling are used to test the separability of the two constructs and to compare predictor domains. Results show that the two types of self-perceived authority are analytically distinct, and that workenvironment and organizational variables predict each type differently. The results have implications for future theorizing and testing of police self-legitimacy.

Eastern Daily Press 24/7/2019 Analysis, Feature Circumstantial Powers of “Special Fire Police” in Pennsylvania: Statutory Consequences and Recommendations Volunteer police have been an instrumental part of Western policing since the inception of the concept of police. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania utilizes volunteer police under the title of “Special Fire Police.” Described as “firemen cloaked with police powers” in corresponding case law, these volunteers are statutorily provided with full powers to regulate traffic and keep crowds under control at any fire or emergency and to exercise other police powers which are necessary to prevent interference with the work of firemen. Although these volunteers have been in use for more than 50 years, the other police powers they are granted by law have remained largely undefined. This research will examine the current statutory and case law relevant to special fire police as well as those relevant to general Pennsylvania police powers to demonstrate the circumstantially defined police powers that could be adopted based on interpretation.
