    The amount of and type of force used by police to make an arrest is something we have all become more aware of – primarily due to the advent and use of cell phone video. We have seen examples of what many claim to be anything from inappropriate behavior to murder by police officers. Please read the following articles and discuss with your classmates the issue of use of force – When is the force used to make an arrest excessive – and who defines that term? This is a very hot button issue and I ask that everyone be considerate of all opinions and thoughts expressed.

    In the textbook, Kouzes and Posner shared a very important quote which I will repeat here:

    You begin with the end in mind, by knowing what you dream about accomplishing, and then figure out how to make it happen.

    -Jim Pitts

    We have read about William Bratton this week and learned the concepts of “Good to Great Policing” and how important this can be in shaping the leadership vision of policing for a city, a town, or a state. Now that you are familiar with these principles, what are the most important considerations for a newly appointed police chief? What immediate steps would you take to ensure a successful transition into your new role as police chief? Lay out YOUR agenda (recall our discussion about visionin Weeks 1 and 2) and then (professionally) debate with at least two classmates what should be the top priorities. How do you relate these priorities back to your readings and what you may have learned from your classmates in the discussion boards from Weeks 1-3?

  • Infographic

    Take time to read the seminal article:

    by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne. Then, read

    Now, create an Infographic based upon your review of these articles. Identify the key points shared by the authors and being sure to summarize the milestone leadership moments in his career from 1977 (Boston Police Department) through 1996 (NYPD). Once your Infographic has been completed, be sure to verify it summarizes the signficant steps taken by Bratton to turn around the departments he was leading. Your completed Infographic should be suitable to sharing with co-workers and have enough information for them to view the Infographic and clearly understand the who, what, where, when, why, and how of Bratton’s innovative leadership principles.
