Leadership(New) Professionalism, legitimacy and diversity Prof. dr. W. Bruggeman
External: to keep in balance Security /safety Human rights (a gift or a threat; conflicting/competing values) Police and policing (professionalism, legitimacy, diversity)
This EDPOL conference is about leadership in policing diverse and complex societal problems
The police AND policing • Internal: the police as an organisation • External (policing): problematic issues are multicultural communities, minorities, racism, riots and other societal dilemma’s
Diversity related issues • Age and language • Race • Gender • Religious and philosophical • National affiliation • Martial status • Political conviction • Sexual orientation • Economical and societal status (the have’s and have not, powerfull/powerless, technical equipt/non equipt)
Police as a workforce • Human resources and diversity: composition and distribution, the police to look like the society it serves, target figures and no quota, to spot new talents + to maximise existing capabilities • Structure and organisation (eg. neighbourhood policing) • Vision mission strategies: equal/just policing versus over-policing and under –protection, security AND human rights, police and policing • To combat individual and structural deficiencies • Culture + training • Work processes (intelligence led policing, motivated and goal based police actions) • Need for some change pressure mechanisms
Policing versus todays citizens /societies • Laws, regulations and theories AND situational policing (leadership) + changing contexts : transactional and/or transformational)) • The individual behavior (moral compass) versus strategies (COP, POP, reassurance policing, zero-base policing) • Inclusion or exclusion(getto’s versus gated communities, racism, control and search excesses, blind policing, surveillance society) : to treat the people rightly and respectful • Minimum and maximum policing(too much or not enough), soft and hard policing
Specific areas of concern • Value of policing (hard and soft policing) and police values • To bridge the gaps: the police and the society (needs, expectations, trust and confidence, satisfaction), police and politics, management and street cops, police and academics/research, police and partners, now and the future
Sense of urgency (it is all about public confidence and trust: you can spend years to built confidence and loose it in five seconds + not only nice to do, but being an operational necessity) • Change management (real big changes from inside and not from outside, positive/supportive rather than negative approach, FUTURE POLICING AND POLICING THE FUTURE, trainings and handbooks) • To self reponsabilise the focus groups • Learning attitude: learn from bad (show your dark side of policing) and even more from best practices (to share) • Evidence and kowledge based policing • New (EU) rights: of victims and offenders: language, information, judicial support/Salduz, EU protection order • Coherence between EU countries?
