Write a response to the following prompt:

Explain why it is said that police leadership is now confronting a “crisis stage.” Describe what may be done in the form of professional development to address this problem.

John:

Police Leadership is now confronting a "crisis stage"It is said that police leadership is now confronting a "crisis stage" simply because of what the "near future holds such as: the current aging, turnover, and retirement of "baby boomers" and other generational employees" (Peak, Gaines & Glensor, 2010).  The chief's main job "is to prepare colleagues in the organization for the next advance in their careers; indeed, today the mark of a good leader is ensuring a ready supply of capable leaders for the future" (Peak, Gaines, & Glensor, 2010).

What needs to be done is preparation of successor which "can help a chief establish an important legacy-one that will sustain the improvements and progress that have been made, offer opportunities for mentoring, and instill the importance of the organization's history" (Peak, Gaines, & Glensor, 2010).  There also needs to be a key competency at every level of the organization.  Having people perform outside of their comfort zone will allow these leader to know who to pick when it's time for them to retire.  Chief's also have to "look at succession planning and leadership development as a continuous process that changes organization culture" (Peaks, Gaines, & Glensor, 2010).  Not everyone is made to be a leader, but in order to get a good leader, one must be trained, and put out of their comfort zone.  We have to "prepare employees to take on a broader roles and "escape the silos" (Peak, Gaines, & Glensor, 2010).  I find the best way to have a good leader is sending them to promotional academies and management institutes.  These can help develop chief executives as well as middle managers and supervisors in the kinds of skills needed. 

The U.S. Army uses a few promotional schools which help future leaders know how to do things, and also it is set-up to get others out of their comfort zone.  When you attend these schools, you are tested on a few different things such as: leadership; written essays; job performance; and communication skills.  These are important traits to have as a leader.  You have to have a leader who is confident, and can perform under a lot of stress.
