Developing Police Leadership

Abstract

Recent changes in the environment within which the police operates have placed even more pressure on the need for the service to be led by high‐calibre officers, and increased emphasis has been placed on the efficient and effective use of resources. A computer simulation is described which is designed to reflect a possible simplified future scenario. It highlights the issues involved in the use of crime statistics in leading, motivating and controlling personnel.
