What a horrible idea! This has been tried before and has usually ended up in disaster and scandal. Just a few examples are: LAPD - Rampart Scandal, Miami PD - River Cops Scandal, Memphis PD - Tyre Nichols Scandal, and Washington DC Metro Police - Rush To Hire Scandal. Just another example of Cities and Law Enforcement Agencies not paying attention to history and making the same mistakes over and over again. When you hire unqualified and unsuited people for Law Enforcement positions you are doing a disservice to the profession, your agency, your officers, and your community. Never lower your hiring standards!

Ryan Columbus emphasizes how courage underscores the bravery required not only in facing external challenges but also in confronting internal struggles and seeking help when needed. Addressing the mental health crisis faced by LEOs, he sheds light on an issue that often remains in the shadows due to stigma or misconceptions. Setting a compassionate tone, he focuses on breaking down barriers of mistrust, which are essential steps toward fostering a supportive work environment. By promoting openness and honesty, Chief Columbus encourages leaders to lead by example and create an atmosphere where LEOs feel comfortable expressing feelings and seeking assistance without fear of judgment or retribution. Establishing a Peer Support Unit and placing signs, such as "it's ok to not be ok" send a powerful message of solidarity and support. Initiatives not only raise awareness about mental health, but also demonstrate a commitment to creating a culture that values LEO well-being. Leading by example, Chief Columbus encourages others to prioritize their mental health and take proactive steps to ensure their well-being. Jason M. Palamara and I are grateful to Chief Columbus, who maintains, "Every leader in this profession will come across someone who is suffering in their agency, and how you handle that situation will be the tone you set for your agency. Trust me, everyone is watching. It takes time and effort to break down the barriers of mistrust in the ‘administration,’ but we must work at it. Mistrust in the administration in this profession goes back decades; it isn’t personal. Work to break down this barrier by being open and honest. Create a Peer Support Unit. I’m amazed how many officers want to help their colleagues. We placed signs throughout our station that state, “its ok to not be ok.” I have spoken to officers about how some calls that I have been on have affected me and that therapy is helpful. We have implemented the ability to earn wellness days (up to 4 per year) and 90% have used them. This is voluntary and through their own therapist. To see so many officers using this program, it shows this is needed. I help people in my agency, some have worked out and some have not, but the people see we care because we have proven that. Let’s take care of people and be there for them when they need help as we would want them to be there for our community. It’s easy to deem these big city problems, but it’s in every agency (page 121, Living Blue)." In conclusion, Chief Columbus's advice serves as a beacon for leaders in law enforcement and beyond, emphasizing the importance of courage, compassion, and self-care in fostering a supportive and healthy work environment. His words are a testament to his dedication to well-being of his officers and serve as a reminder of the profound impact that leadership can have on mental health and overall quality of life. #vicarioustrauma #compassionfatigue #suicideprevention #lawenforcementtraining

It is great that Seattle Police Officers are getting the raise in pay they so richly deserve. However, money has little to do with Officers remaining at a Department. This has been shown time and time again. These raises in pay will not stop Officers from leaving their department or create a great number of recruits to fill empty spots. Until these Officers see true leadership within their Department and support from the City Government and the public, they will continue to leave and rightfully so. #police #policeofficer #policeofficers #officer #officers #lawenforcement #lawenforcementofficer #policechief #policedepartment #sheriff #deputy #marshal #constable #federalagent #fbi #atf #dea #doj #cop #cops #copscountpolicematter #policematter #policingmatters #policing #policeman #publicsafety #communitysafety #publictrust #protectandserve #criminaljustice #criminaljusticesystem #leadership #respect #law International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum National Police Chiefs' Council National Policing Institute National Police Association National Sheriffs' Association Police1 American Police Beat Law Enforcement Today Southern Police Institute FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

Retired Sheriff’s Captain; Former CA POST Executive Director; Police & Corrections Practices Expert; Public Safety Consultant; Government Relations Strategist...
Let us take a moment to unpack what’s happening in Washington state. In recent years, they have been passing one piece of legislation after another that favors the criminal and restricts law enforcement in their ability to do their job. If you follow the news, you know that many cities like Seattle are in significant staffing declines and they cannot fill officer vacancies. Here is a newsflash for the state of Washington: funding additional positions isn’t going to solve the problem. You can’t hire additional officers if the ones already on the job are leaving at record numbers. If they want to get serious about addressing crime problems, they need to elect new policymakers who will pass legislation in support of law enforcement instead of criminals. It’s that simple.
Yes, yes, and yes! “We need to hire more police officers. We don’t need to have the most police officers per capita, but we shouldn’t have the fewest police officers per capita,” House Minority leader Rep. Drew Stokesbary said. “If we could just get to the middle of the pack, that would be a pretty gosh darn good improvement.” #publicsafety #recruitment #lawenforcement #WAleg https://lnkd.in/dCjjkERm

Trust and confidence in the police are crucial for effective law enforcement and maintaining public order, but in recent years, there have been significant declines in public trust in both the U.S. and U.K. Strategies such as enhancing procedural justice in police interactions, adopting community policing approaches, and reforming police culture from a "warrior" to a "guardian" mindset are essential for rebuilding trust and confidence between police forces and the communities they serve.

Great tips on putting together a module on p civilian police oversight from the Reducing Crime podcast.
Want to use a podcast in your teaching? Interested in #civilian #oversight of #policing? In the first of an occasional series on how to integrate the Reducing Crime podcast into your classes, here are a couple of episodes and a reading recommendations so you can easily create a module/class on - in this case - civilian oversight. Don't forget that you can get transcripts of every episode at reducingcrime.com/podcast. If you are an instructor or lecturer, and you want multiple choice questions for every episode, just send me a DM. #Civilian #Oversight Civilian oversight of law enforcement is a mechanism that builds greater trust between the community and law enforcement by promoting accountability, transparency, and legitimacy. But it can be a contentious area for police executives, and there are many different approaches to civilian oversight. 1. Reducing Crime podcast episode #26 (Hans Menos) At the time of the interview, Hans Menos, Ph.D., LCSW was leading Philadelphia's Police Advisory Commission, the civilian oversight agency for the Philadelphia Police Department. They provided recommendations on how to improve policing in the city, by analyzing the policies, practices, and customs of the Philadelphia Police Department. We talked about the challenges of police oversight, Black Lives Matter, use of force, and different ways to move police accountability forward. #SoundCloud: https://lnkd.in/eaGNRAgN #Apple: https://lnkd.in/e87FKJD9 #Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eh2Hzd9y 2. Reducing Crime podcast episode #43 (Walter Katz) At the time of the interview, Walter Katz was the Vice President of Criminal Justice for Arnold Ventures. We cover his background as a public defender, his work as Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, police oversight, public safety budgets and the role of civilian policy makers, police use of force, and minimizing police involved shootings. #SoundCloud: https://lnkd.in/eqGay8US #Apple: https://lnkd.in/emgjZ_CP #Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eT6XzKaS 3. A new study from Ian T. Adams, Ph.D. and colleagues in the last month, has a current literature review and study on police leaders' perspective on oversight called "Police reform from the top down: Experimental evidence on police executive support for civilian oversight". Fortunately it is open access: https://lnkd.in/ebTH3hWm 4. You could assign your students selected parts of this useful #COPS #Office publication from 2021, Vitoroulis, McEllhiney, and Perez.
