SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING POLICE SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES AND WAYS IN WHICH WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE GRAPPLING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Abstract

A PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR A CAREER CONCEPT FOR POLICE IS DESCRIBED WHICH WOULD CREATE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ABLE YOUNG POLICE OFFICER AND DEVELOP A REWARD SYSTEM FOR OUTSTANDING OFFICERS WHO PERFORM AT OPERATIONAL LEVELS OF THE DEPARTMENT. THE PLAN WOULD ALSO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN FIELD PERSONNEL AND THOSE WHO ASPIRE TO MANAGEMENT POSITIONS, AND IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP THE POTENTIAL LEADERS IN A DEPARTMENT. FOREIGN COUNTRIES BRIEFLY DISCUSSED INCLUDE GERMANY, SWEDEN, FRANCE, ITALY, AND ENGLAND.
