Police officer performance

The prevalence of crime and criminality continues to pose a great challenge to the people and government of Nigeria, especially the police, whose constitutional responsibility it is to tackle the menace. Despite the public outcry and government's effort via the security agents, the scourge of crime seems increasingly insurmountable. This study explored public perception on the performance and efforts of the police in tackling the menace in Anambra State. In-depth interview data was collected from the public especially the elite, such as top civil servants, lecturers, doctors, etc. who are presumably intelligent, enlightened and well-informed to ensure accuracy and correctness of information. The people expressed some knowledge and concern on the devastating level of crime in the society. Some expressed disappointment and hopelessness with the police and their corrupt attitude in the face of the turbulence. The desire for police-public partnership or cooperation was highlighted to effectively and drastically reduce crime and criminality. The study recommends that the police should exhibit capacity, expertise, efficiency and professionalism in tackling the incidences of crime and criminal elements to win public confidence again.

The Police Officer Wellness Evaluation Response™ Survey was designed to take a broader look at police officer wellness from an officer standpoint. The survey collected data and measured individual “holistic wellness” of 1,000 commissioned/sworn law enforcement officers nationwide. This confidential, multi-dimensional survey instrument was designed to address four specific areas of wellness: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual and to report broad data concerning basic officer demographics. No names, departments, or other personally identifying information was collected, used, or distributed. The survey sample was not significant enough to make generalizations regarding a larger police officer population or police officer wellness on a larger scale. However, it is the hope of the survey developer that the information collected provide insight into areas that police officers believe should be more readily addressed in first responder wellness training (i.e., academy, post...

This study investigates the impact of training and development programs on the performance of the Guyana Police Force (GPF). “The Role of Training and Development in Fostering Performance in the Guyana Police Force”, authored by Suelle Findlay-Williams, the co-author of this article. The study was done utilising survey data drawn from 250 officers in the Guyana Police Force and integrating a cross-section of global research studies across law enforcement, military, corporate, and public service sectors. This paper examines how structured training affects police confidence, decision-making, and overall effectiveness. The results reveal a strong correlation between continuous training and improved professional outcomes, with 95% of officers reporting enhanced public interaction and 93% citing increased productivity. Key findings of this study emphasise the value of scenario-based training, mentorship, emotional regulation, and feedback mechanisms in law enforcement training design. The study concludes with recommendations to refine training delivery, enhance leadership development, and integrate international best practices.

Background and Objective: Pre-event protection is preventing employees from committing
violations and crimes by relying on strengthening internal elements and correcting and controlling
environmental factors with respect to external threats. It is one of the main demands of the Supreme
Commander-in-Chief (Supreme Defense) and the command hierarchy. Considering the ever
increasing evolution and development of enemy strategies and policies in the face of terrorism and
rapid social, economic, and cultural changes, if the requirements and necessities for realizing this
important issue are not recognized, it will not be possible to create coherence and appropriate and
constructive communication between policymaking, planning, and the realization of the function
and to systematically and purposefully solve pre-event protection issues. Therefore, the purpose of
this research was to know the requirements and needs of the realization of pre-event maintenance
of Faraja employees.
Methodology: This research was conducted using the Delphi method. We used a
questionnaire to collect information in three stages. For this purpose, the views collected from
the theoretical literature and research background were used in relation to the dimensions and
components of the study. In this regard, a questionnaire was prepared using the Delphi
method and distributed among 21 experts working in the General Inspectorate of Farajah,
SAAS, Sahfa, the Deputy of Human Resources and corresponding ranks in the Deputy
Headquarters, Specialized Police and Provincial Police Commands who had PhD degrees in
the fields of "strategic management, human resource management, crime detection, crime
prevention management, educational management, knowledge management and future
studies". The Kendall coefficient of agreement was used to determine the level of agreement
among the members of the Delphi panel.
Findings: The requirements and imperatives for realizing pre-event protection, in order of
priority, are: "value and visionary, command and management, individual, organizational,
security, safety, and educational and research requirements and imperatives."
Results: In accordance with the research findings, it can be concluded that the most important
requirements and requirements for realizing pre-event protection are as follows: "Intimate,
fair, and non-discriminatory communication between commanders and the sub-group;
Continuous, planned, targeted, intelligent, and effective supervision and control; Timely and
impartial dealing with violators; Special attention to the material and living problems of
employees; Strengthening the culture of martyrdom, sacrifice, and preserving the
achievements of the sacred defense; Issuing enforceable orders commensurate with
organizational capabilities; Promoting the culture of performing religious duties on time;
Timely and proportionate payment of overtime and mission rights and other benefits due to
employees; Refraining from issuing emotional or biased orders and promoting the culture of
considering oneself valuable and seeking distance." "From mistakes and slips."

The overall performance of the judicial system is determined by the individual productivity of its members.

Policing is a stressful job wherein, the workforce, performing duties in such stressful environments will be exposed to traumatic events and chronic stress in their line of duty. Irrespective of designations, policemen experience a lot of physical and mental health issues, addictions, extreme stress and pressure, excessive workload, and life-threatening situations. Several studies state that the work culture and constant stressful environment faced by the policemen make them victims to smoking and alcohol addictions. Despite the power and possession, policing is content of all such negative elements and yet there is still no permanent cure for the issues. Theories of Management suggest that there is always a solution for every problem in hand. The researchers, in this study emphasize on the inculcation of managerial aspects in the Police work culture. This study is focusing on the assessment of influence of excessive workload on the work-life balance practices of Karnataka State Police (KSP). The current study also emphasizes the positive outcomes of an effective managerial education in maintaining a healthy work-life balance among the Police Professionals. The researchers have attempted to enlighten the importance of efficient human resource management practices to safeguard the personal and professional aspects of Police personnel. The findings of the study showcase the numerous advantages of efficient managerial training and education in handling excessive workload and efficient balancing skills to enhance healthy work-life balance practices among the Police personnel in Karnataka.

Heuristički aspekti kriminalističkog istraživanja krađa motornog vozila Sažetak U radu je obrađena tema krađe motornog vozila, s aspekta općih karakteristika pojave vrlo učestalog i opstojnog oblika imovinskog kriminaliteta te naročito heurističke komponente kriminalističkog istraživanja ove kategorije kaznenih djela. Prikazane su tipične izvidne radnje policije koje se provode po dobivenom saznanju o krađi motornog vozila te specifičnosti nekih od tih radnji koje utječu na učinkovitost otkrivanja. Također je obrađeno pitanje otkrivanja lažnih prijava krađa motornih vozila, koje su vrlo česte u praksi. Rad se bazira na pregledu i analizi ranijih istraživanja, kriminalističkoteorijske i praktične provenijencije, kao i drugih izvora koji se bave kriminalističkim postupanjem u odnosu na krađe motornih vozila. Ključna pretpostavka korištena u radu polazi od toga da temeljito i djelotvorno postupanje u inicijalnoj, heurističkoj fazi kriminalističkog istraživanja krađa motornih vozila utječe na kvalitetu i ishod cjelokupnog postupanja, koji se ogledaju u pravovremenom pronalaženju otuđenih vozila, identifikaciji počinitelja, rasvjetljavanju lažnih prijava, uočavanju jednoobraznih ili sličnih načina otuđenja (koji upućuju na organiziranost i specijalizaciju počinitelja) i dr. Ključne riječi: krađe motornih vozila, imovinski kriminalitet, kriminalističko istraživanje, lažno prijavljivanje, kognitivni intervju. * prof. dr. sc.

Research Findings The results of the ranking software showed that the structural barriers to people's participation in the health system, the management challenges of the health system, and the foundational factors affecting the management of the health system are the first to third priorities in the general barriers to public participation with a weight of 0.158, 134%, and 128%, respectively. Discussion and Conclusion The issues of health-related issues by celebrities, creating a comprehensive database for charities, lack of knowledge or information about public participation, creating a suitable platform for philanthropic cooperation and active participation in the field of health, respectively with a final weight of 33%, 31%, 30%, 29%, and 28% had priorities from one to five. People's participation is one of the main strategies to ensure, maintain, and promote the health of society in achieving universal health coverage, during which the stakeholders play an influential role in the management process of the health system and in choosing solutions or implementing them. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the barriers to participation so that in this way it is possible to improve the services and as a result, increase the quality and satisfaction of the people, strengthen the relationship between the people and the government, help the efficiency of the services and the possibility of providing services in the deprived areas and strata of the society (Janbazi, 2012).

Background and purpose: prevention and detection of crimes along with respecting the rights of citizens is one of the main and inherent duties of Faraja. During the prevention and discovery stages of crimes, specialized police officers (Safi) may intentionally or unintentionally violate the rights of citizens (assaults, insults and obscenities) despite having legal powers. Safi Faraja employees have been assaulted against citizens and appropriate solutions have been provided.
Method: In terms of practical purpose and qualitative method and tools, data collection was conducted by reviewing existing documents and files (1395-1400) through interviews with experienced and expert employees in the field of dealing with crimes and violations of employees in the number of 15 people.
Findings: The findings showed that along with the increase in important crimes in the society, and the increase in the society's expectations from the commanders and chief executives of Faraja and subsequently from the employees on the one hand, and the weakness in the equipment and infrastructure as well as the weakness of the principles of technical and scientific interrogation by the police (Safi), intentionally or unintentionally leads them to violate the rights of citizens.
Conclusion: Considering the inherent duties of the police and the increase in the occurrence of crime, the effective factors in preventing violations and assaults against citizens include: extra-environmental (extra-organizational), environmental (intra-organizational) factors, and human factors, the modification of each of which is appropriate to the description of their duties and strengthening and providing information in the field of monitoring systems on the performance of employees such as the 197 system in order to monitor and control the performance of subordinate units, the use of appropriate electronic and optical equipment in order to detect criminal behavior and record documents in real terms, the optimal use of body cameras in accordance with the organizational missions can reduce the amount of crimes.

This study was conducted to examine the provision of a basic training programme towards equipping recruits with policing skills. The study was guided by Malcolm Knowles&#39; andragogy theory. The study employed a convergent research design under mixed methods research approach. The target population was 3019 recruits, 389 instructors, 4 operation commanders, 1 chief instructor, 1 adjutant and 1 commandant found in Tanzania police school.

Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect the information. The calculated reliability coefficients for recruits&#39; and instructors&#39; questionnaires were 0.742 and 0.751, resp...

Primanje i davanje mita su kaznena djela za koja su tijela kaznenog progona posebno zainteresirana u otkrivanju (ili bi trebala biti) s obzirom na to da se u mnogim slučajevima radi o interesu primatelja i davatelja mita, a njihov interes za prijavu druge strane nadležnim tijelima je neznatan. U radu su prikazani rezultati provedenog teorijskog, normativnog i empirijskog istraživanja koruptivnih kaznenih djela primanja i davanja mita, a poseban doprinos predstavlja analiza recentne sudske prakse. Autori su analizirali kaznena djela primanja i davanja mita s obzirom na varijable prijavljivanja počinitelja, optužnice i osude, a izvršena je i analiza primanja mita kod policijskih službenika. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata empirijskih istraživanja autori zaključuju da je sudska politika kažnjavanja u Hrvatskoj blaga te predlažu nova rješenja de lege ferenda počevši od sudske kaznene politike pa sve do propisivanja kvalificiranih oblika kaznenog djela primanja i davanja mita. Implikacije koruptivnih kaznenih djela mogu biti ogromne jer potkopavaju povjerenje u državu i njezine institucije te je borba protiv korupcije prioritet za tijela kaznenog progona. Ključne riječi korupcija, kaznena djela protiv službene dužnosti, primanje i davanje mita, odgovorna osoba; policijski službenik

Zbog dosljedne provedbe normativnih teorija krivnje zakonodavac je u općem dijelu Kaznenog zakona propisao dva ispričavajuća razloga: prekoračenje nužne obrane zbog ispričive jake prepasti prouzročene napadom koje isključuje počiniteljevu krivnju te krajnju nuždu s istim pravnim učinkom. Rad se bavi prekoračenjem granica nužne obrane zbog ispričive jake prepasti prije svega zbog njegove praktične važnosti jer se institut nužne obrane, uključujući i problem prekoračenja njezinih granica, gotovo svakodnevno pojavljuje pred sudovima. Budući da je članak 21., stavak 4. KZ-a oblikovan po uzoru na odredbe o prekoračenju nužne obrane kao ispričavajućeg razloga u poredbenom pravu, analiziraju se njegove sličnosti i razlike u odnosu na inozemne uzore. Objašnjava se ratio legis prekoračenja granica nužne obrane kao ispričavajućeg razloga i raspravljaju moguća otvorena pitanja u praktičnoj primjeni navedene odredbe: uloga ispričive jake prepasti kao uzroka ekscesnog ponašanja počinitelja, mogu...

This study examines how NSITF utilizes Public Relations to create awareness on Employees&#39; compensation Scheme in various organizations or institutions across the nation. Public Relations is effective when it comes to creating awareness of Employees’ Compensation Scheme. The study also found that employees in Katsina State agreed to the fact that Public Relations is utilized in creating awareness to them of different compensation schemes available in the NSITF. According to the findings of this research, this could be attributed to the benefits of Employees&#39; Compensation Scheme employees stand to enjoy, which they were informed through Public Relations. Some of these benefits include: Employees do not contribute to the scheme, but only the employer contributes on their behalf; Cause of injury or who is at fault is irrelevant in making claims and Prompt payment of compensation. The study, therefore, recommends, among other things, that employees, be they in the private or publ...

Rad obuhvaća elaboraciju primjedba međunarodne zajednice odnosno GRECO-a na pojedina korupcijska kaznena djela te implementaciju tih primjedba u prijedloge izmjena korupcijih kaznenih djela protiv službene dužnosti koja se smatraju korupcijom u užem smislu odnosno kaznenog djela zlouporabe obavljanja dužnosti državne vlasti iz članka 338. KZ, protuzakonitog posredovanja iz članka 343. KZ, primanja mita iz članka 347. KZ te davanja mita iz članka 348. KZ. Problematizirani su i prijedlozi izmjena kaznenog djela zlouporabe položaja i ovlasti iz članka 337. KZ, koje se ne smatra kaznenim djelom koje čini korupciju u užem smislu, ali predstavlja korupcijsko kazneno djelo i jest korupcija u širem smislu. Prikazano je kaznenopravno uređenje korupcijskih kaznenih djela u zakonodavstvima Francuske i Slovenije te je komparirano u glavnim crtama s pozitivnopravnim uređenjem korupcijskih kaznenih djela prema hrvatskom Kaznenom zakonu. Temeljem provedene komparativne analize predložene su određene promjene koje bi trebalo provesti u pojedinim kaznenim djelima. * Tihomir Kralj, v.d. tajnika Ministarstva pravosuđa Republike Hrvatske ** Marta Dragičević Prtenjača, asistentica na Katedri za kazneno pravo Pravnog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu *** Autori rada posebno i duboko zahvaljuju prof. dr. sc. Davoru Derenčinoviću na savjetima, prijedlozima, konzultacijama i smjernicama koji su bitno pridonijeli nastanku i sadržaju rada te radu kao cjelini, i bez čijeg doprinosa rad ne bi bio potpun.

1. Introduction Community development is accepted as an approach that is vital in promoting socioeconomic development of communities. Community participation is pertinent for successful project delivery which in turn steers development. This approach promotes skills transfer to community members and provides an opportunity for them to participate constructively by making key project decisions and management of project funds. The rationale behind this thinking is spelt out in Community Driven Development (CDD) chapter in the World Bank's poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP) Sourcebook (Dongier, 2003) which postulates that CDD as a mechanism to change can speed up the pace of change through increases participation of community members in their own development, enhance bottom up approach to change and enable supplementation of the limited public resources with locally available resources to ensure efficiency, equity, relevance and sustainability of development projects through empowerment. Community driven development approach was espoused in order to promote efficiency, effectiveness and success of community development initiatives however, skeptics have raised a plethora of pitfalls related to CDD especially during the project implementation process. The pitfalls include inadequate stakeholder involvement and sometimes it is not clear whether a feasibility study was conducted to determine the project's viability before resource allocation. Other concerns include poor contract negotiations, exploitation of limited resourceswhile in other cases, the projects are run as brief cased organizations without clear vision and mission leading to lack of project goal attainment. Summers (2001) for instance show some discontent with the World Bank's duty in steering community development initiatives under the consortium of such projects. He argues that such projects can lead to structures that undermine constitutionally appointed leaders. Harriss, Platteau and Abraham (2001) on the other hand identify the concerns that emerge when certain ideas like 'Community, Empowerment and Capacity for Collective Action' are converted into large projects on strict time lines. In such circumstances, they argue that leaders with vested interests may resolve to implement projects with outcomes that are easier to measure as opposed to complex ones with more strict timelines a situation that may compromise the entire project success. To help bring local communities into action, it is vital to provide effective leadership since oftenly resources are scarce thus require a mastery of effective practical actions to convert the limited resources into beneficial projects to spur community growth and sustainability.
