What is management and what are the levels of management in a police department?
What will be an ideal response?
Management consists of tools by which to put leadership into action. These tools include decision making, planning, providing direction, making decisions about staffing, communicating, organizing, and budgeting. Police chiefs are the primary conduits for the public to provide input into a police department. Middle managers are also involved in managing; they manage their individual units to ensure that their officers' activities contribute to accomplishing the goals as set by the department's administrators. Supervisors, generally sergeants, manage their officers by monitoring their subordinate's activities on a regular basis.
