Early Warning Systems: Responding to the Problem Police Officer (RIB)
نویسنده
چکیده
Key findings: Twenty-seven percent of local law enforcement agencies serving populations of at least 50,000 had an early warning It has become a truism among police chiefs that 10 percent of their officers cause 90 percent of the problems. Investigative journalists have documented departments in which as few as 2 percent of all officers are responsible for 50 percent of all citizen complaints. The phenomenon of the “problem officer” was identified in the 1970s: Herman Goldstein noted that problem officers “are well known to their supervisors, to the top administrators, to their peers, and to the residents of the areas in which they work,” but that “little is done to alter their conduct.” In 1981, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights recommended that all police departments create an early warning system to identify problem officers, those “who are frequently the subject of complaints or who demonstrate identifiable patterns of inappropriate behavior.”

متن کاملShedding Light on Police Culture: an Examination of Officers’ Occupational Attitudes
Research on police culture has generally fallen within one of two competing camps—one that depicts culture as an occupational phenomenon that encompasses all police officers and one that focuses on officer differences.
