We have discussed several organizational theories in this chapter. How do these theories affect the department and police officers on the street?
What will be an ideal response?
Scientific management theories and administrative theory affect a police department and police officers on the street. Delegation of authority is one management principle associated with classical organizational theory. Delegation of authority essentially is the assignment of tasks and responsibilities to subordinate managers and supervisors and holding them accountable for their accomplishment. Police chiefs and sheriffs delegate many operational responsibilities to their managers. For example, the commander of a traffic unit is responsible for reducing accidents and expediting the traffic flow, and in some jurisdictions, for generating revenue. If the traffic commander does not adequately attend to these responsibilities, he or she may be replaced or otherwise held accountable
