Are you a police chief or a firefighter?
If you spend most of your day putting out spot fires, you are not setting the course for your agency – here’s how to balance crisis management with long-term planning.
The Culture Code in Law Enforcement Episode I
Leadership in law enforcement is faced with a significant challenge of a changing culture, whether we like it or not. Attracting applicants and retaining them, if we can hire them, is directly tied to the culture we have within our agencies. One of the contributing factors to reduced applicants in policing may be due to the reduction in religious affiliation.
Innovation Exchanges
Policing generally seeks to innovate when there is a demonstrable public safety, political or community urgency to do so. In those agencies possessing a innovative influence within their cultures, innovation is driven by the realization that the social milieu in which policing exists today is constantly changing. To effectively serve their communities, these agencies understand that they need to change (innovate) too. By adopting a Innovation Exchange as a quick, easy and cost-effective innovation strategy, tomorrow’s policing leaders can better position their agencies to deal with an increasingly uncertain future.
