Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
- Competency 3: Analyze the culture of police organizations from a leadership perspective.
- Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
Introduction
There are four areas that must be examined to fully understand and appreciate the impact of police unions, both within their respective agencies as well as in the community. These include the impact on discipline and accountability, the impact on the police subculture, the impact on city or county finances, and the impact on politics. It is not known to what extent negotiated police salaries and benefits force cities and counties to reduce expenditures for other services, such as streets, parks, and libraries. Police unions are generally a well-organized interest group with significant financial resources and political clout (Swanson, Territo, & Taylor, 2017).
