Professor's Question:
Many people forget that when it
comes to policing, police departments are like any other organization with bosses and employees. Patrol officers are usually at the bottom of the hierarchy even though they have a great amount of discretion and authority with the public out on the street. How important do you think it is for police departments to focus on
keeping their employees (officers) happy? What do you think happens in a department where the officers are generally unhappy?
