A Successful Career: Terence Monahan

Are the people placed in these roles fit as being a leader? Are they capable of leading in a large quality in the future? There has been research on the varied of different leadership styles with in law enforcement agencies. Other views on the research focus on leadership and how it effects organizational commitment. There is a need to push out research and create different models in order to redesign of law enforcement agencies. According to Patrick J. Hughes “Increasing Organizational Leadership Through the Police Promotional Process”, he explains the current process used in promoting ranks and the available leadership education for law enforcement agents. There are clear connections between leadership styles and how to proper assess a true

Police executives are decision makers and problem solvers (Cordner, 2016). These executives are responsible for managing both internal and external issues (Cordner, 2016). There are four styles an executive can adopt or a combination of them to reflect their executive authority in making decisions and correcting problems (Cordner, 2016). These styles include the administrator, the top cop, the politician, and the statesman. If I were appointed the chief executive of a law enforcement agency, I would most likely adopt the top cop style.

As a natural born resident of the City of Long Branch, I personally have gone to admire and appreciate the level of professionalism in our police officers in which govern our community. I have ultimately come to understand this high standard of professionalism and leadership has been properly groomed over generations. Thus, in my closing year at Saint Peter’s University in a concentration of criminal justice, I have taken significant interest in applying directly to Long Branch Police Department.

Head of Police Jason Dombkowski emphasizes that the attention on authoritative and regulatory parts of policing, on the formal structure and the effect of police pioneers. While these formal contemplation are vital to a comprehension of the police part, there are two other contributing variables that must be considered in their endeavor to comprehend policing as an occupation: the police subculture and the weights and anxieties of police work. Police executives and the law indicate the expansive parameters inside which officers work, yet the police subculture lets them know how to go about their assignments, how difficult to work, what sorts of connections to have with their kindred officers and different classifications of individuals with

Bald head. Wide smile. Also, a good heart, that's just Officer Amos Pierre, my mentor. With great power comes great responsibility, and Officer Pierre took on that role accordingly. He possesses all of the attributes a leader should have. He is understanding, he has integrity, and honor. Nothing else can compare to the impact Officer Pierre had on my life.14 years-old, and not knowing what to expect out of high school - I joined a series of clubs, one being Police Explorers. The first time I met Officer Pierre, I was like 'wow this guy has a lemon head', his head was/is so bald. Anyway, the first of his countless lectures, stuck with me to this day: "Never miss out on an opportunity, regardless if it's big or small. Because the last thing you want to do is live a life filled with 'what ifs'..." This is true because no one wants to miss out on an opportunity that can open great doors. Officer Pierre is a man of great honor, and integrity. He abides by the laws he enforces, and he encourage others to do so as well. One time I was talking to an officer, and he basically introduced me to the term "creative writing" in report writing, and I mentioned it to Pierre. I regretted that so dearly. Pierre gave me a whole speech on why I, should never lie on a report, as an officer. and what would happen if I did. He told me that doing sneaky stuff now, will lead to me doing shady

Employees are the lifeblood of any law enforcement organization, but the new generations of cops just don¡¦t fit the old mold. The success with which a

To get the most out of these types of employees, the leaders of these organizations need to be seen as confident, decisive, credible and accomplished (Olson & Simerson, 2015). When the leader can master these items, then he/she will have the support of the officer, and they will be able to share the vision with the organization to help effect the change in the policing practices. When the officers can envision meeting the goal, they will be able to work in collaboration with the community to achieve the defined

In Julseth et al.’s (2011) article summarizes that the retention rate of patrol officers is in steady decline, and stated that different policing factors that include fatigue, stress, and workload, seems to be major reasons for high turnover rates. In this article, it was examined the perceptions and views of patrol officers on contemporary policing, and the issues that relate to job satisfaction (Julseth et al., 2011). Investigating job satisfaction in policing is important because some issues can affect the performance of officers, and on consequence, it will affect the entire department’s effectiveness. These studies can help police administrators to reduce stress, improve productivity, and decrease turnover by making them aware of internal

Police officers offer civilians a sense of protection, guidance, and trust. As we make our daily commutes in every day life, we look at these uniformed individuals as a symbol of safety and take comfort in the idea that in the case of an unexpected turn of events, officers will be sufficiently qualified to take initiative and adequately respond under stressful, dangerous, and complicated circumstances. We, as civilians expect things to automatically unfold in this manner, but how then can we be sure that these individuals are capable of handling such a delicate task? This module's case study explores the experience of an applicant named Doug regarding the main components of the police officer selection process, which include Screening and Evaluation, Written Exams, Polygraph Examinations, Physical Agility Tests, Medical Examinations, Psychological Evaluations, Background checks and Oral interviews, some of which may or may not be used at the

First-Line Supervisors of Police and Detectives supervise and assign duties to the police force. Leadership is key in this job as well as other skills such as monitoring, good communication, and making decisions.The importance of the career will help me think about my future plans after high school and what it takes to achieve these goals. This career interests me because it suits my personality and skills.Therefore, I have come to my senses after researching that my career interest is a supervisor for police and detectives because of my great strengths for being in control, organization, and dedication.

Since its inception, policing has changed in scope and strategy with an emphasis on improving and adopting best practices. From departmental policies to tactics, diversity, and technology, the evolution of policing continues to mature. A critical aspect of this progression has been the structure and support of a department’s internal affairs department. This along with the selection of qualified and resourceful leaders promotes the best opportunity for organizational growth. I have been a law enforcement officer for the past 14 years. I began my career in a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania suburb with the Lower Merion Township Police Department. For the last 11 years as a Trooper, I have been fortunate to have contributed to a variety of assignments.

My immediate goal is to become a police officer and then one-day work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI). This would be a great accomplishment for me within the field of criminal justice. My interest in becoming a police officer occurred in the class of Careers and Technology. Hearing the stories of speakers who have worked for police departments, sheriff departments, and the

Law enforcement is a job that needs the most experienced, wise and organised men, as each officer has several important duties, and a big responsability that can mean life or death for those innonecent civilians and victims of rule breaking. An officer, has many choices for his futur, as as much as he works there as much as he discovers new things, and he knows what abilities he has, and what skills too, and he employes them in this field to do something useful, as in the future he might get the chance to lead his own group, in any division, such as S.W.A.T, quick inteceptions, Traffic, FLD, recruitement. It’s a possibility to get the chance to head any of those, and in the mean time he should have the competentials that will allow him to do so. Also any Police officer might have to take decisions for his team at any kind of situations, that’s why it’s a must that he takes the best decision ( which will be easier if he has that quality), so he can make

I asked him what he looks for in an applicant. I also asked him what separates similar candidates from each other. Chiefs Brain answers where kind of surprising due to the fact that I really didn’t know that’s what they look for in college students. He said “We look for kids that have about a 3.0 GPA or higher. Also kids that have takin some kind of internship even if it wasn’t through the police department, because it shows that they are dedicated to work. The number of internships is what also sets them apart from one another.” Finally I asked the most important question of does he enjoy his job as members of the police department. Chief Brian responded with “Son if I could go back 20 years, I would do it all the same because this job makes me do what I love to do which is have a purpose, and that is to help

As an upright Police officer and upholder of the law, I am of the opinion that above everything else, success demands hard work, grit and persistence to go into its making.
