In order to defend its assertion that the DA letter in question is still relevant, The Department inappropriately uses and stretches a “team concept” argument.
In the application of a Team Concept, if an NFL Team loses a game, and then certainly the entire team shares that loss as a Team - equally. However, when it comes to the following week of assessing what and why things failed, equality no longer has a part to play.
The Defensive Line (that may have played flawlessly) is not punished for the failure of the Offensive Line (which may not have performed well). The other players are not assessed fines because a Left Guard is fined for an unsportsmanlike conduct violation. The Coach does not suspend or replace the entire team because

Ackermann is fully aware that since Officer Krouth and I began to replace Officers Doug Wickman and Randy Laluzerne place investigating and writing up crashes, his assignment of Recon duties to Officers has not allowed Officers to work as a team past the initial on-scene investigative phase . While The Department claims Officers worked as a team, Lt. Ackerman and the Day Shift supervision failed to coordinate and allow Officers time away from their primary assigned duties so that teamwork could occur. The Department instead took the position of it being preferable to have only one Officer out of the normal duty rotation working any given crash report, than having 2 or …show more content…
Ackermann had Officer Krouth did have Officer LaLuzerne supervising and coaching his (Krouth’s) writing of the report as part of the ongoing transition effort. All statements in that report were either approved or mandated by LaLuzerne before the report was sent to Lt. Ackermann. Officer Krouth has told me that Officer LaLuzerne specifically said to end the report with the line stating the crash was unavoidable. Had Lt. Ackermann had told ADA Elni the result of our investigation as we had told him, the DA’s Office may still have been disappointed that a prosecution for the crime mentioned was not possible, but most of the concern expressed in this letter would have been dispelled. It also demonstrates another failure of the Recon Unit mismanagement: If things go well, management takes the accolades – if not, the fault goes to the Unit.
• The Resultant Use Of The Letter Did Not Reflect Team Approach:
At the same time of applying the letter to “the reconstruction unit as a whole”, The Department mocks the team concept in that the Recon team members were not treated equally as a result of this letter. Officer Krouth was shown the letter and received a minor and short question about it from Lt. Ackermann. At this point, I am finding no indication that Officer Allcox was even talked to about it. I, however, received first knowledge of the letter’s existence and its actual wording only as being presented as part of support for a Formal Complaint Against
A new commander taking over the unit following COL Steele’s departure will have to establish a command climate that overcomes the current culture within the Rakkasans. The new commander must confer with his leadership team to determine what the issues are within the culture that leads to the unethical command. The first step should be to disseminate command climate surveys. The results of the command climate survey would help judge the extent to which soldiers assess the ethical situation
The purpose of this counseling is to document your violation of UCMJ Article 91, insubordinate conduct toward a Commissioned Officer, CPT (P) Woodard, Rosilyn. O/a 221700OCT2015, LT Namkung, while I were addressing you that you proceeded to walk away and rolled your eyes. I deemed your actions were blatant acts of insubordination and unbecoming of an officer. I will not tolerate this type of behavior and expect better from an officer of your caliber.
A commonly heard platitude is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” While those higher up in the department feel that the changes may be necessary to improve departmental relations with citizens or to streamline operations, the officers who are having the change “forced” on them may not see the greater good the changes are intended to bring about. In the paramilitary design of public service entities, such as law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services, the emphasis tends to be on “that’s the way we’ve always done it,” and it’s been working just fine. Trying to enact any form or change, no matter how minor, is an uphill battle, particularly with those who have worked for a department for an extended length of time. One of the hardest things for a person to change is a habit. Sadly, that’s what certain facets of the job becomes, habits that are repeated day in and day out, in some cases without conscious effort. Officers have sunk costs in their job and their routine and to have that pointed out as being incorrect or inefficient can lead to friction and resistance, particularly amongst those
To begin, I shall summarize the major issue regarding the case study shown on page 103, in the 7th edition book Titled, Effective Police Supervision, written by Harry More and Larry Miller in 2015. Sergeant Lou Maynard recently got promoted to the evening supervisor for the Craigview Police Department. Six months had then passed. While leading his team, Maynard came to the realization that two of his officers did not seem motivated as the rest of them were. The other officers, that were doing their jobs, started to complain about the two non-motivated officers. They began stating that the two officers did not their carry their weight when it came to the team. The two officers are noticed working as if they do not wish to be there and are just waiting to retire in the next year. They have even distanced themselves when it comes to socializing with fellow officers on duty and off.
A commander with the Army Corps of Engineers, Brigadier General Scott Donahue, was described as “exhibiting paranoia” (Whitlock, 2014) throughout his staff and even caused one of his officers to submit a formal request to transfer to Iraq as a result of the hostile environment. Results of the investigation revealed that BG Donahue came into a poor command climate and did not realize the discontent until conducting a climate survey. BG Donahue was relieved of his position for failing to foster a healthy command climate after that time.
Charged with sex-related crimes involving 10 female Airmen, 4 counts of adultery, and several other charges such as indecent conduct, misuse of position, and maltreatment of enlisted Airmen, former Command Chief of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) CMSgt William Gurney failed to ethically lead his Airmen. By his own admission, he was “caught in a cycle of sin and failed as an Airman and a husband.” 1 In this essay, I will discuss the Chief’s specialty and some of the positions he held as a Printer Systems Operator, I will then highlight the unethical events that took place from a few different viewpoints to include the accused and his alleged victims. Finally, I will give you my opinion on how I would have acted if put in the same
For example, on any given offensive play if one player on the offensive line fails to block his man that play most likely fails. The same holds true for the defensive side of the ball. The front 7 can all do their job and get pressure to the QB forcing him to throw the ball earlier than he wants to, but if the cornerback falls down or gets severely beat the defense most likely fails on that play. An offense can be great and the TEAM may still lose a lot of games because the defense can’t slow down the other
The seriousness of this organization, and the publics perceptions, requires leaders to understand they are responsible for all of their own actions and the actions of their subordinates. Leadership failures have higher consequences in law enforcement than if a leader makes a mistake working in a retail outlet. No criminal justice leader should ignore the input given to them by their officers because they understand what is happening on the streets they police on a daily basis. Vollmer’s “Friday crab club” needs to find a place in every law enforcement organization to ensure that the leadership style is being utilized

SNC stated all of the required components of the five paragraph order maintaining a calm, confident demeanor with minimal use of filler words. The first two negative points arose immediately after SNC completed the brief. Although he understood what was required to accomplish the mission he failed to develop a plan of execution. Because of his lack of planning and before he made an attempt to do anything, the first words out of the candidate’s mouth after his brief were “Do you have any suggestions for what to do?” He posed this question to the two fire team (FT) members not posted as security. Once one of the FT members gave the first suggestion SNC immediately jumped back into his role as the FT leader. This was most evident when SNC recognized
In my essay I will discuss how Failure to Report affects the United States Army and it’s mission. I will use my experiences and knowledge as well as regulations and doctrine provided by the United States Army. I will first cover the regulations and doctrine provided by the United States Army. I will use the United State Publishing Directorate website to access all appropriate regulations. The site can be accessed at http://www.apd.army.mil/.
Corporal Walker's reports are turned in on time, they are well written and they contain all relevant information. His reports accurately document and assist in prosecution of crimes. Corporal Walker gave a presentation to command staff concerning car assignments and a proposal for a key board to help keep track of vehicle keys. His ideas were well received and both were implemented.
We must all learn each other protect and see that a fellow man does not lose sight of one’s duty to the department as well the community. I am going to suggest some therapeutic counseling with a little R&R to see if this can shed some light. I will reevaluate officer Daniels with in another 6 months to see where he stands and but in the mean time I will lighten some of his responsibilities duties within the department shift until I see changes for the better and if no change after all set and done of my recommendations. The final determination is going to be recommending either a different position desk job or even termination and such forth. I believe if I have exhausted all avenue then I can say we department did go out of our way, we provided everything necessary and I will feel comfortable with whatever the department chooses to do upon action wise of employment for officer Daniels. I as a Psychologist will do everything within my power to make sure for one I meet all the requirements that needed to be meet within my license of counsel and also meet the department’s policy and guidelines so that officer Daniels gets a fair and
