Challenges

The severe challenges of today's police management include:

        i.            Human Trafficking

      ii.            Officer-Involved Shootings

    iii.            Domestic violence

    iv.            Body-Worn Cameras

      v.            Opioids (related to overdoses and deaths)

    vi.            Immigration

  vii.            Breaking the cycle of reoffending

viii.            Mass Casualty Shootings and Active Shooters

    ix.            Criminal prosecution of officers

      x.            Retention and recruitment

  xi.            Threats in cyberspace (Cordner, 2016)

Best Practices

The best practices of contemporary policing cover:

        i.            Legal punishment and involvement of military force for preventing criminal activities

      ii.            Police empowerment for securing and maintaining public respect through the public approval

    iii.            Proper respect for legal aspects along with federal approval

    iv.            Focus on civil cooperation for proportionately diminishing the requirement of physical force to achieve policy aims

      v.            Gaining public approval through constant demonstration of impartial service of law

    vi.            Usage of  physical strength solely while the exercise of warning and advice is not sufficient for obtaining civil cooperation

  vii.            The building of police image as the part of public members, who get paid for ultimate attention to legal duties

viii.            Proper recognition regarding the need for strict adherence in functionalities of police executives   

    ix.            Test regarding police efficiency is indicative of the absence of crimes (Farmer, 2015)

Case Studies

In turn of police case studies, criminal attempts regarding rape case are mentioned below:

Issac Itinerary, a boy, has been charged for raping a child. However, the situation has collapsed due to the late disclosure of evidence (BBC, 2019).

(Refer to Appendix 1)

Another case study is indicative of cybercrime and is as follows:

Around 19 people have been suspected of stealing millions through online banking accounts. Police have warned the local people for checking whether personal computers are secure or not (BBC, 2019).

(Refer to Appendix 2)

Organisational issues

In the case of regulatory problems, one of the major is indicative of improper recruitment. For instance, the deserving police officers are getting away from higher paying opportunities as the police authority is focused on increasing the open positions for law enforcement officers (Roberson et al. 2016).

However, as a practical approach for solving this problem, it can be suggested that the police administration is required to be watchful towards promoting internal talented and skilled officers to next position of designation so that they can earn more and prove themselves more efficient and capable (Van Thielen et al. 2018).

Personnel issues

In the case of a personal matter, the central aspect is about reduced pension benefits. For instance, the officers, who have retired, are facing problems regarding lack of benefits after retirement (Okafor, 2016). The police authority is providing less focus on the retired officers as they are not any longer with professional roles and responsibilities.

However, as a practical approach to this problem, it can be suggested that the police authority is required to focus on adding other facilities with pension benefits (Buya et al. 2018). For instance, if there are monthly health checkups facilities with pension plans, then the retired officers would not be unsatisfied in case of low monetary value as monthly pension.  

Operational issues

In the case of the operational problems, one of the major is indicative of an increased amount of DNA samples. For instance, the arrested people are required to go through with the process of DNA test as evidence needed (Sarker et al. 2017). This is why the DNA database is getting more massive day by day by making difficulties for police administration.   

However, as a potential approach to solving this issue is associated with enhancement of police policies, training and storage facility for DNA samples (Lim and Lee, 2015).  

Strategies

• By the current world of modernisation, the primary plan of police management include:

1. The routine response of the incident
2. Preventive patrol
3. Problem-solving meetings
4. Emergency response
5. Criminal investigation (Farr-Wharton et al. 2017)

Methods

The new methods of policing cover:

        i.            Proactive paradigm shift

      ii.            Problem-oriented policing

    iii.            Community-oriented policing (Grimmelikhuijsen et al. 2017)

Technologies

The most useful techniques in the modern era of police administration are as follows:

        i.            Usage of drones by a police patrol

      ii.            Google glass and hololens

    iii.            Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter

    iv.            Usage of biometrics for identification and data security 

      v.            Usage of tablets and smartphones

    vi.            Usage of automatic rag and license plate readers

 vii.            Usage of GPS (Pee and Kankanhalli, 2016)

Supervisors

In the case of supervisors, the unique experience that is indeed essential to be there is all about ways regarding conflict resolution. For instance, a police supervisor is required to focus on knowledge related to demands and issues of police subordinates (Van Thielen et al. 2018). This will help the supervisor to solve conflicts among professional teams.

Managers

The police manager is required to focus on knowing employment facilities. For instance, the police managers are needed to find employment benefits, not solely during employment, somewhat also, after work (Okafor, 2016). This will help in taking care of retired officers as the significant responsibility of police authorisation.

Leaders

The police leaders are required to know effective communication methods. For instance, the leaders have to have a broad sense regarding both verbal and non-verbal communication so that the interrupted connection cannot be the reason behind employment conflicts or anything like such (Buya et al. 2018). This will help in leading police administration with more effectiveness.  

Professionalisation

In the case of professionalisation, it is to highlight that every police professional is required to know ethical practices during duties. For instance, police officers are needed to have proper sense related to legal policies and procedures (Sarker et al. 2017). This will help in making a sustainable society and free from criminal activities.

Politics

While it comes to be watchful towards politics, it is to mention that the police officers are required to know current political factors so that enforcement of legal aspects can be drawn. For instance, in case of BREXIT, the police authorisation is needed to focus on implementing specific legal frameworks for dealing with the terms and conditions of this current political factor (Lim and Lee, 2015). This will help in showing respectful approaches to regional politics for law enforcement.

Administration

In turn of administration, the police officers are required to be focused on knowing adaptability. For instance, to officers, individual call-for-service is dynamic and fluid. Hence, it is quite essential for officers to know ways, through which, adaptability and flexibility can be maintained. Knowledge related evolving technologies and changing social climate are counted as the current requirement of police administration (Pee and Kankanhalli, 2016). This will help in overcoming challenges and providing real service to society.
