An interesting read. The author, a retired commissioner of the OPP, believes it’s critically important to be aware of the linkages between public trust in police and police leadership, as the factors influencing public perception of police services are much bigger than officers on patrol can control.
Chris argues there is not sufficient acknowledgment of the leadership impacts on crucial matters. Police cannot survive without the trust of those they are sworn to serve. It is vital that effective policing and leadership strategies must be employed from top to bottom to sustain policing in a municipality.
