AAPG Conference Critical Strategic Success Factors for Police Organisations: what do you consider when determining whether your police service is doing a good job? Terry G. Coleman, MOM, PhD(C) 30th April 2011
Think about…… • When you say “my local police agency is doing a good job,” what are you weighing? • When you say “my police agency is not doing a good job,” what are you weighing?
Fundamental Principles of Contemporary Policing • due process, equity and fairness • ethical conduct • a customer and client focus • consultation and collaboration with the community • quality and valued customer/client service • continuous evaluation, continuous improvement and change • teamwork • responsive to the environment • decentralisation of authority and decision making • total involvement • participative leadership • increased communication • internal and external alignment • outcome focused
Exploratory Research:Seven Categories of Questions • Crime Prevention • Community Safety • Quality and Valued Service • Amount of Crime [Crime Rate] & Social Disorder • Conduct of Police Personnel • Solving of Crime & Social Disorder • Leadership & Management
Primary Purpose • To create an index of Critical Strategic Success Factors [CSSFs] from which can be established Key Performance Indicators [KPIs] of Police Organisational Performance
Leadership/ManagementVisibility & Accessibility of Police Personnel
Crime Prevention/Reduce VictimisationEffective External Communications Systems
“Social Disorder” • social disorder (sometimes referred to as public disorder) includes such situations as public drunkenness, causing a disturbance, graffiti, vandalism, noisy parties, rowdiness, people loitering in public places, noisy vehicles, abandoned vehicles, urinating in public, fighting, illegal dumping, traffic issues, abandoned buildings, loitering youth, garbage, public drug use and broken street lights.
Community Safety Amount of Social Disorder Fear of Social Disorder
Quality & Valued Service Police Sensitive to Community Needs Community is Satisfied with Police Service
Quality & Valued Service Honesty and Integrity Fair [Procedural Justice]
Quality & Valued Service Police Approachable Police Polite
Amount of Crime & Social Disorder Violent Crime Rate Non-Violent Crime Rate
Amount of Crime & Social DisorderSerious/Fatal Traffic Collisions
Conduct of Police Personnel Confidence in Police Trust of Police
Conduct of Police Personnel Substantiated Public Complaints Substantiated inappropriate use-of-force
Solving of Crime & Social Disorder Non-Violent Crime Social Disorder
Solving Crime & Social Disorder Driving Offences: Criminal Code Driving Offences: Provincial
Analysis • The following are the seven factors derived from statistical analysis
Weighted Index • POPI = .668 (Factor 1) +.633 (Factor 2) + .787 (Factor 3) + .698 (Factor 4) + .631 (Factor 5) + .746 (Factor 6) + .538 (Factor 7).
Where now ? • Food for thought.. What is it that your police should be judged by? • What do we mean when we say this police agency is doing great work or that police agency is a mess? • What we have to think about is: • “are they achieving the outcome we all desire?”
The Ultimate Outcome of Policing A safe community free from the fear of crime and social disorder
