Police Leadership and Governance - PICT806
In modern western democratic environments the issues of leadership and governance are never far from the surface of any policing organisation. What was historically a bureaucratic cumbersome and non-responsive organisation driven by rules and regulations with an elaborate hierarchy is now a decentralised, proactive, open and accountable organisation that not only reacts to important issues but often leads the debate with respect to changes in public policy and legislation. Whilst not all policing organisations are the same, there has been a shift in the past 20 years in the direction of the characteristics described. This unit will explore the critical policing issues of leadership and governance with specific emphasis on discerning how that applies in the policing/public sector. It will also examine the developing move towards policing becoming a profession.
