Correctional Treatment Center (CTC) provides care and treatment for inmates requiring inpatient medical and or psychiatric care in this 196-bed rated medical unit located in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. The inmate population is in poor health, largely due to the lifestyle choices of the inmates which often include substance abuse, violence, and living on the streets of Los Angeles. They require the same basic medical care that all residents of Los Angeles County require, including routine illness to advanced medical issues such as tuberculosis (TB), AIDS/HIV+, heart disease, diabetes, dialysis, paraplegics, and acute mental health problems. Additionally, problems associated with aging are becoming common as the jail population increasingly includes older inmates.

The organization was founded in 2003 and its mission is to “make Atlanta the safest and most inviting city for businesses, residents and visitors” (Atlanta Police Foundation, 2017, para. 1). Atlanta Police Foundation is a formal organization as it is recognized by both local government and IRS as a 501(c)(3) (Atlanta Police Foundation, 2017). The organization itself claims that “the Atlanta Police Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization” (Atlanta Police Foundation, 2017, para. 8). Since Worth’s (2014) examination of nonprofit characteristics reveals that one factor of a private - non-government agencies - organization is the allocation, pursuit, and fund raising of resources, these findings thus demonstrate that the Atlanta Police Foundation is a private organization not a state government entity (Atlanta Police Foundation, 2017; Worth, 2014). For example, “Private sector support is…critical…[for]…APF’s resources [and for APF to] continue to offer the leadership and advocacy, [and] to improve efficiencies within the department and spearhead [organizational services]” (Atlanta Police Foundation, 2010a, p. 2).

The New Jersey State Police does not experience much turnover. However, within a twenty-five year career, a trooper’s attitude, and how that attitude relates to job satisfaction and output can be measured. While a trooper with 10-15 years experience may be distrustful of command staff, junior troopers (those with 1-5 years) are viewed as zealots. Junior troopers are productive and engaged in their field. A trooper’s job satisfaction can be measured by his/her’s perceived organizational support. Job satisfaction has a direct correlation to employee engagement and perceived organizational support.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the third largest police agency in the United States. The LAPD has approximately 9885 sworn officers and 2718 support staff. They cover approximately 500 square miles and is for the protection of over 4 million people. With that in mind, managing such a behemoth agency is a complicated and problematic endeavor.

During my ride along I was able to make observations on how
