The critical need for supervisory competency in policing school officials

Abstract

Law Enforcement has quickly become a career of limited support and credibility after years of turmoil surrounding use of force events, perceptions of bias policing, and failure to make significant and recognized changes. To attack the culture of policing, change is both necessary and critical to garner public support. Through research on law enforcement training, leadership and supervisory development, and organizational influence, recommendations can be made to implement leadership development programming and other strategies to positively influence the nature of policing in the United States.
