Abstract

This book offers a practical guide to leadership in routine and complex situations across all areas of police work. The need to demonstrate leadership can occur at any moment: in public order situations, community meetings, and among colleagues at work. Enhancing leadership skills is an effective way to inspire and motivate others, as well as improving interactions with a wide range of people, from members of the public to social services and partner agencies. This book discusses leadership and teamwork, as well as other leadership skills, through a series of questions that might be considered within the course of everyday police work.
