There needs to be a clear definitive vision on where progress should be in the near future. Because the city of Pleasant Valley is in fact so small, there is only a handful of local businesses that help sustain the city’s population and encourage growth. In fact the city makes most of her revenue off the Police Department’s citations. With an analysis of their interpersonal skills, management strategies, and various management principles I hope to paint a picture of how smaller cities are beginning to show their business savvy to stimulate growth. Through focusing my analysis on the local Police Department I hope to show what methods make them successful at being such a significant source of revenue to such a small town; thus becoming a new entity I like to call “Small Town Inc.” while illustrating what kind of impact they pose on their community.
BODY
Utilizing modern day management practices small towns of limited resource, like Pleasant Valley Missouri, can evolve into a bustling city; specifically with a vigilant police department. The question is can effective management, aggressive policing policies, and quality interpersonal relationships be achieved without negatively affecting their revenue contribution to the city. For without the necessary revenue
Each year in the United States federal, state, and local law enforcement officials seize billions dollars of cash and property from individuals who are not, necessarily, convicted or even charged with a crime. Seizures made under these laws are called civil asset forfeiture (CAF) seizures or civil judicial forfeiture seizures. Changes in civil asset forfeiture laws have over the last 4 decades have increased the power of local governments to supplement law enforcement budgets and crack down on crime. Most police departments across the nation are able to keep, use, and sell seized property at their

The Rixton case is regarding a community of fewer than 20,000 inhabitants and their police force, who employs 36 officers (Cordner, 2016). The issues that plagued the police force are partly caused by the chief’s lack of administrative efforts. The chief has little experience with organizational accountability, even though he is a pleasant man. When the chief implements a new policy or procedure, he simply attaches the new document to a full bulletin board. No one in the department takes the time to read, comprehend, nor practice the new policy.
The financial department have been asked to carry out analysis all invoices from the past year to provide data on where wastage is taking place.
The information that follows identifies the Units that form the Chartered Management Institute Level 5 qualifications in Management and Leadership. The Units are set out in a format designed to assist in identifying the presence of your current knowledge, understanding and capability at this level. To achieve best value in competing the document you should refer to your Centre Adviser who will guide you. The outcome of this part of your “Skill Scan” should assist you in the preparation of an action plan for your way forward to successful completion of a qualification programme.
Within this assignment I will utilise the Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards of Proficiency (NMC 2004a) for entry to the register to critically reflect upon my portfolio of evidence in order to demonstrate that I am fit to practice. In doing this I will discuss the terms ‘proficiency’ and ‘reflection’. I will identify the model of reflection I am going to use within this assignment and will give a rationale for this choice. For each domain I will provide a critically analysed reflection, using evidence taken from my portfolio. For each domain I will demonstrate what learning has taken place, identifying a learning outcome and action plan from each reflection.
This high level outline implies the solution is straightforward and issues would be significantly reduced if police forces would follow the blueprint. So why do these problems still exist, causing major unrest in communities across our country? The handbook to success has been available for over fifteen years, yet we’ve seen little progress toward resolution. Perhaps the flaw lies in the assumption that business-like practices can modify human nature.
The success of implementing a program like this requires that both parties be well informed and well educated on the changes that will take place. One of the first steps is to market the concept of community policing both internally (within the department), as well as externally(within the community). Marketing community policing internally often involves collapsing the existing structures of authority that are in place as well as the specialization within the department. The case study mentioned that although the senior administrators in the department played a critical role in the reform, it was also necessary that line level officers be active participants in the process. After all, two important components of community policing are empowerment and ownership. Officers were given ownership of certain areas that were
Within this assignment I will describe my understanding of the links between management and leadership, the skills and styles of management and leadership, the application of management and leadership theories in an organisational context and planning for the development of management and leadership skills.
To organize and prioritize the current and future projects in the pipeline in a way that fits into the PMB budget of $5B, and ensures projects that increase sales, growth, and stockholder value are of top priority, whereas projects that are not beneficial are either put on hold or discarded.
A 2006 case study of the benefits of shared management in police agencies was conducted on the Broken Arrow Police Department (BAPD). The BAPD is a police department which employs 165 persons in Oklahoma. A focus of the study was to shift the police
Preventive patrol is one of the best ways to get involved with the neighborhoods that the law enforcement is trying to protect, it is however a double edge sword while patrolling in a vehicle police can cover more ground and can witness more violations, but miss the opportunity to make relationships with the members of the community (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016.) The foot patrol option allows for less ground to be covered, but the police are making personal connections and getting to know the area reducing the fear of crime scenarios while improving attitudes towards the police in the eyes of the community (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016.) A study completed in Kansas City, Missouri, from the 1970s split three areas giving one area received
1. In order to implement an organizations commitment to social responsibility it is necessary to identify what social problem the organization intends to address, develop policies on what the organization plans to do to successfully fulfill its obligation and ensure stakeholder buy-in. The main obstacles an organization faces when implementing socially responsible policies is pressure from stockholders and business analysis who want steady increase in earnings. Without steady increase in profits, it becomes difficult to reinvest money in these areas. The following actions can be taken toward increased social responsibility:
The company that is listed as number one on the Fortune 500 list is Wal-Mart. This company has much strength that makes it very interesting for investment. Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton in the 1950’s and faced competition among many regional discount stores. In 1962 Wal-Mart officially began with its first store in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart now has over 600 discount stores in the United States and stores located in 28 countries. No matter the size of the company its purpose has not changed over the years. Mr. Sam Walton said, “If we work together, we’ll lower the cost of living for everyone... we’ll give the world an opportunity to see what it’s like to save and have a better
