If you were a supervising officer of a patrol operation, describe the feedback system you would institute. Defend the efficiency of the system in terms of its information-flow patterns
What will be an ideal response?
A feedback system is essential to communication. Most departments, with the exception of roll call, which is mostly one way, have few feedback systems. Having secure chat rooms and websites internal to the department with access by line officers, middle management and top administrators including the Commissioner or the Chief solves this. Informal meetings with line officers and "the brass" or "the bosses" would create a proactive feedback system that would solve many internal problems before they become major issues. It takes time from busy duties by management but the communication improvement and lifting of morale is well worth it. It is a needed human touch to what is often impersonal departmental communications through orders, newsletters and memo's that do not offer that face time that puts a human face on management and impersonal communication.
