Leadership in Public Safety
Overview
In this short paper, you will be asked to compose a brief analysis of a leadership role in the police department.
Prompt
Your friend just got a promotion within their police department. As a former senior officer in the police department, your friend has now been promoted to sergeant. You are a corporal, and your friend has turned to you for some advice. As a police officer, your friend made many “buddies” with peers on the force and is now tasked with managing and leading those same people. Write a short and informative paper for your friend about the new role and the differences between being an officer and being a sergeant. Make sure to use good academic writing practices by keeping the paper in third-person point of view (e.g.,
one,
it,
he,
she).
Specifically, you must address the following
critical elements:
I.
Leading Versus Managing
a. What is the difference between the role your friend had as an officer and the role they have as a new sergeant?
b. What is the difference between managing and leading a team?
II.
Leadership Role
a. What are the key roles your friend will have to perform as a manager and a leader?
b. What is the importance of your friend’s decision making as a leader?
III.
Trust Building
a. How and why should your friend build trust with their group of officers?
b. How should your friend address the different generations represented in their group?
Support the answers and advice you give your friend. For help, reference the textbook and resources for this module. This assignment will help prepare you for Milestone One: Draft of Organizational Strategy Proposal. Think of this as a short practice run.
What to Submit
Your paper must be submitted as a 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Use at least three sources, and cite them according to APA style.
