The need and desire to maintain and build public trust and respect in policing in dynamic, complex, and constantly evolving political, socio-economic, technological, and demographic contexts has driven increased discussion and examination of professionalization of policing. Effective and efficient policing today requires police leaders who are innovative, have political acumen and agile decision-making capacity, and can engage with a variety of actors at multiple levels to address public safety and security issues. Police leaders are also charged with ensuring that police officers at all levels have the education, knowledge, skills and competencies, and supports needed to solve crimes and problems, enforce laws, and prevent crime. The Commonwealth countries of England, Wales, Australia, and New Zealand have established professional bodies to regulate policing and address these requirements. This review uses identified characteristics of professions as a framework for comparing the work of these associations with contributions the Canadian Association of Chiefs has made in supporting, preparing, and professionalizing policing in Canada. It concludes by comparing the approaches to police professionalization in England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 28/1/2019 Research article Gold Standard Strategic Plans: How Well Do Canadian Police Services Do? This paper reports the results of a content analysis of the business/strategic plans of 23 Canadian police services that provide service to 48% of the country’s population. The results indicate that these plans vary considerably with respect to environmental scans; statements of values, vision and mission; descriptions of goals; resources to be applied to goal achievement; and indicators to be used to assess success and inform ameliorate action. The findings also indicate that the plans pay limited attention to statements of strategic purpose and the competitive environments within which these police services operate. These results are considered in light of the potential that well-done strategic planning processes may have for police leaders and oversight bodies as well as for helping police services better meet accountability requirements and stakeholder expectations.
