"This is one in a series of papers that will be published as a result of Harvard’s Executive Session on Policing and Public Safety. In the early 1980s, an Executive Session on Policing helped resolve many law enforcement issues of the day. It produced a number of papers and concepts that revolutionized policing. Thirty years later, law enforcement has changed and NIJ and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government are again collaborating to help resolve law enforcement issues of the day."--Page 1.

Summary

"This paper builds on the discussion of forces for change in police organizations. The central thesis is that policing, like other industries, faces an urgent need for a new way of managing and leading police agencies that is being driven by two interdependent shifts in the world of work: the rise of a "new generation" of police officers; and significant opportunities — and challenges — in the availability of new technology. These two factors are linked to other changes within the broader context of policing, such as globalization, heightened budget concerns, the changing nature of crime, and the other forces that bear on the work of policing. By focusing attention on these two key related changes in the work and management of policing, it is hoped that light will be shone on the broader challenges that confront police leaders and police organizations."--Page 2.
