He expressed his love for his co-workers and how they have been working in a team to achieve many difficulties that may arise in the community. For instance, during our patrol we had a call concerning a man who was very violent and was causing a lot of trouble in his home.

    As a formal organizational structure, WCSD’s power as an officer is those rights inherent in one’s position. Trained and deputized by the Michigan Law Enforcement Training Council (MLETC), power and authority is given to a sergeant to carry out job responsibilities as a certified officer. This includes the right to protect and serve the community and carry out the policies and procedures of the organization. According to Gomes-Mejia and Balkin (2002), “Centralization means that decision authority is located at the top of the organization hierarchy” (p.236). Decision-making by the officer and civilian staff is minimal. Thus, centralized power means that the majority of the decision-making, power and control is at the executive level.

    Community oriented policing has been around for over 30 years, and promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes, and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem solving tactics. The way community policing works is it requires the police and citizens to work together to increase safety for the public. Each community policing program is different depending on the needs of the community. There have been five consistent key elements of an effective community oriented policing program: Adopting community service as the overarching philosophy of the organization, making an institutional commitment to community policing that is internalized throughout the command structure, emphasizing geographically decentralized models of policing that stress services tailored to the needs of individual communities rather than a one-size-fits-all approach for the entire jurisdiction, empowering citizens to act in partnership with the police on issues of crime and more broadly defined social problems, for example, quality-of-life issues, and using problem-oriented or problem-solving approaches involving police personnel working with community members. Community oriented policing has improved the public’s perception of the police in a huge way. Community policing builds more relationships with the

Police leadership is based from an autocratic style which is founded on integrity and courage, embracing teamwork, involvement and shared leadership (Cordner & Scarborough, 2010). This style of leadership works well in an emergency situation in which rapid decision making and strict control is needed. The negative aspect to this style of leadership is the inability of the organization to function with the absence of leadership.
