The aim is to provide insights into whether and how a focus on organisational reputation pervades management practices. Based on 52 semi-structured interviews with police managers from 4 police forces in the United Kingdom (UK) and 46 social media policy documents, guidance and training materials used by 25 UK police services, we explore how police managers interpret organisational messaging in their conceptualisation of responsibilities and operationalisation of strategies to protect police personnel online. Line managers’ decisions and actions are largely shaped by, and in turn shape, the organisational culture and ethical climate around online harms. We highlight the need to shift police organisational cultures around online harms towards a duty of care, in part as a timely response to implementing the well-being emphasis in the UK’s revised Code of Ethics 2024. We present three practical recommendations for organisational leadership and social media policy making in a global context both within and beyond police organisations: (1) national-level advocacy for increased focus on personnel vulnerabilities which supports organisational-level shifts towards, (2) an emphasis on wellbeing, and (3) broader managerial training in online harms management.

We investigated direct and indirect impacts of the organizational transformation on the homicide investigations. The analysis suggests that the ATCs might have had a role in improving the homicide investigation outcomes, and detective productivity.

The study provides insights into how organizational transformation effects can be considered in the analysis data in such situations.
