Positive and negative effects of civil service regulations on urban police systems is the focus of this research project conducted over approximately a 2-year period beginning in November 1976. Data from the study were collected from 42 randomly selected American cities, ranging in size from 50,000 to 750,000 persons. In each study site, current civil service laws and police union contracts were collected, interviews were conducted with the most knowledgeable municipal officials and organization representatives, and police departments provided information on programs and policies in a police departmental questionnaire. Supplemental data were provided by the Police Foundation, the National Planning Association, and the FBI. The absence of an overall civil service system which governs police personnel affairs in America is noted. Civil service commissions differ from city to city in the roles they play in police personnel administration and, as a result, in the impacts they have on local officials, on police departmental programs and practices, and on the general quality of local law enforcement. While some commissions pose significant constraints on the abilities of local officials to promote innovative police programs, others work to promote departmental innovation and more efficient criminal apprehension procedures. The study examines a number of issues, among them the statutory supports for local civil service commissions and the impact of community politics and police unionism on local police personnel administration. Proposals for civil service reforms in the urban police context should be tailored to local circumstances and to meaningful variations in civil service roles. Numerous charts, footnotes, a bibliography, and diagrams illustrate the text. Appendixes include content analysis checklists for police bargaining contracts and personnel systems, a police questionnaire, an interview schedule, and a letter to urban executives.

The operational environment of police personnel administration, the personnel function, manpower development, internal affairs, and police labor relations are discussed. A historical overview of police personnel administration, a review of police organization, and a discussion of the role of the police officer provide a foundation for this work. Introductions to personnel administration in a police department, in a municipal personnel agency, and in the federal government are also given. An analysis of interrelated aspects of compensation administration and conditions of employment is provided as well. Such topics as recruitment, selection, training, personnel evaluation, leadership, and promotion are included, and issues in internal affairs such as communication, interpersonal behavior, and disciplinary actions are discussed. Featured in the discussion of labor relations in law enforcement are such factors as employee organization, collective bargaining, job actions, grievance machinery, and the role of the police management in labor relations.

A reference work for use by personnel managers in police agencies is presented; topics discussed include personnel planning, recruiting, the selection process, basic training, performance appraisal, and labor relations. Police personnel management must find, hire, and keep police employees who can and will work at above-average levels and achieve meaning and satisfaction in so doing. The historical development of police agencies, personnel planning, and equal employment opportunity are highlighted. The job of patrol officer constitutes the core of all police work. The changes in hiring policy include the acceptance on an equal basis of women applicants and increased use of civilians in various specialist capacities. Legislation and case law forbid discrimination in employment; however, ratio hiring and promotion may temporarily produce unequal employment opportunities. The recruiting and the selection process also are described. Several modern developments enlarged recruitment from any target population, including an end to local residence requirements, modification of age, eyesight, and height requirements, and implementation of equal employment opportunity legislation. Applicants' achievement on physical performance and written tests, oral interviews, psychological screening, medical examination, and background investigation are used in the selection process. Also discussed are career development aspects such as basic training, personnel information systems, employee development programs, and employee education. Internal justice administration includes performance appraisal, discipline, and grievances. The topic of employee support and retention covers jobs structure and salary planning, labor relations, collective bargaining, police union contracts, and terminations. Finally future trends in research and development, such as the investigation of adequately measuring police officer effectiveness, are discussed. Photographs, diagrams, charts, an index, and a selected bibliography are provided in the book.

Does a more academic type of police education produce new police officers that are reluctant to patrol the streets? What is the impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police students’ career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project, following police students in seven European countries. The unique data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics relevant to the future development of policing, police education and police science more generally. Part I presents an overview of the different goals and models of police education in the seven participating countries. Part II describes what type of student is attracted to police education, taking into consideration educational background, political orientation and career aspirations. Part III shows the social impact of police education by examining students’ orientations towards emerging competence areas; students’ career aspirations; and students’ attitudes concerning trust, cynicism and legalism. The overall results show that police students are strikingly similar across different types of police education. Students in academic institutions are at least as interested in street patrolling as students in vocational training institutions. Gender and recruitment policies matters more in relation to career preferences than education models. The national context plays a more important role than the type of police education system. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in policing, criminology, sociology, social theory and cultural studies and those interested in how police education shapes its graduates.

The impact of civil service and affirmative action programs on minority employment in the law enforcement setting is addressed in this monograph. Each stage of the federal government's program to insure equal employment opportunity from nondiscrimination through affirmative action has been accompanied by acrimonious public debate, focusing particularly on affirmative action, which is designed to develop guidelines, timetables, and other measurable indexes by which employers can be held accountable for their progress, or lack of it, in implementing national policy. The principal burden of finding answers to the complex issues surrounding minority employment has fallen to the courts. Numerous judicial decisions, with enormous implications for police agencies, have been translated into procedural regulations covering the measures, techniques, criteria, and processes that may be used for employment decisions and employment selection. Several employment practices which may create problems in the area of employment discrimination are included. Whether due to enlightened police leadership, community pressures, political circumstances, civil service intervention, or a combination of all these factors, the racial characteristics of American policing have begun to change substantially over the past decade. Ten years ago, approximately 4 percent of the sworn police personnel in the nation were racial minorities; today, that figure has risen to 10 percent. Findings of the public service administration show that one of the most important factors in changing the nature and quality of policing is the courage and commitment of police leadership. To the extent that increasing minority and female participation in the ranks of sworn police officers is a crucial part of this change process, there is the added finding that such efforts are not enhanced by a reliance on the regulatory role of civil service. Several suggestions for institutionalizing this change process are noted.

Police officers are invested with awesome powers and may use physical force to take a citizen into custody. These powers help the police enforce laws and control suspects, but they also have the potential to be abused. The police must be responsive and accountable about crime and safety, but they must also be responsive and accountable to the law and the rights of citizens. Police abuse of power has a long and unfortunate history in the United States, often because of the failure to develop meaningful procedures to ensure police accountability. This book introduces the reader to a unit of the police department that has been secretive and lacking transparency, despite being an integral part of policing for a number of years. Noble and Alpert clearly explain the structure and function of internal affairs or professional compliance units and provide guidance for establishing an effective unit that will benefit both the police and the community. One recent trend is to make internal affairs more proactive than reactive. The authors provide comprehensive coverage of this trends objectives: implement procedures to identify and modify improper actions by police officers; change policies and procedures that negatively affect citizens quality of life; take appropriate action so that the misconduct of a few officers does not detract from the overall mission and reputation of the agency; and conduct fair, thorough, and accurate investigations to protect police employees against false accusations of misconduct.
