Problems at the CVPD

You are a recruitment officer at the Centervale Police Department  (CVPD). There is a new problem being faced by your police department and  those around the country. However, the problem seems to be more  pronounced in the CVPD. There seems to be a huge difficulty in  recruiting new officers. This is because there are very few applicants  for the job and a large number of vacancies. This has never happened  before.

It appears as though officers are reluctant to join the CVPD. LA has a  high rate of crime and not enough staff to control the crime. The  superintendent of the CVPD appointed a research team to find out why  individuals were opposed to joining the CVPD. This is what the team  found:

In an effort to restructure the police force, there is a sudden  absence of well-defined roles. New members of the department are  confused about the roles they are required to play. Most of the time,  there is too much work pressure because they are required to perform  functions beyond their expertise. Sometimes, there is no work at all.  This causes low morale and low job satisfaction within the employees.

Another significant finding of the research done was that there is an  abuse of power in the police force. Recent employees have reported that  the sergeants tend to misuse the power they have. Not only do they  expect the new employees to obey them blindly, but they also make unfair  demands. For instance, three new police officers were put on night  patrol duty for three months. During these three months, they were made  to do 72 hour shifts on many occasions.

A very crucial finding was that the new employees who have joined the  police force as part of the family tradition are disillusioned with the  changes in policing. They are not prepared for the new attitude toward  policing and the new policies that have developed.

For this assignment you are the recruitment officer in the Centervale Police Department (CVPD),  you have been given the responsibility of helping CVPD solve the  problem mentioned above. The empty positions in the department need to  be filled as soon as possible. To do this, changes have to take place  within the organization.

You have to come up with a plan to solve the problem. You need to  conduct an analysis and present a report. Your analysis and conclusions  should focus on solving the recruitment problems in the CVPD. Your  analysis should explore how the CVPD posts can be filled with new and  aspiring police officers. In your analytical report, include the  following:

  • What strategies for socialization would you implement to increase  the probability of new recruits joining the CVPD? What problems would  you anticipate with the proper socialization of the new employees? How  would you prepare the department to deal with these problems?
  • What types of power would you attempt to implement within the CVPD  to improve the administration of the police department? Why would you  choose these types of power over others? What strategies would you put  in place to control the effect of politics on the CVPD?
  • What plans would you put in place to reduce the intraorganziational  and interorganizational conflict in the CVPD? How would you ascertain  that the right types of conflict behavior were used in specific conflict  situations? What process and structural interventions would you  implement?

Support your analysis by citing creditable sources, theories, and  arguments. Submit your response in an 8–10-page Microsoft Word document

long-term employees may find themselves motivated by loyalty to their superiors rather than the mission of the organization. This phenomenon seems to be more likely in criminal justice organizations than in private organizations.

Long-term employees may find themselves  motivated by loyalty to their superiors rather than the mission of the  organization. This phenomenon seems to be more likely in criminal  justice organizations than in private organizations.

  • What is the inherent factor that causes employees in criminal  justice organizations to implement such levels of personal loyalty at  the expense of justice? What are the benefits and hazards of such a  system of loyalty?
  • In which arm of criminal justice is this loyalty to superiors most detrimental to the system? Why?
  • As a leader, what changes would you make to ensure that all officers  collectively followed the law and remained true to the organization’s  mission, instead of personally developing their individual system of  improving their work environments?
