Managing and Leading Today's Police takes a problem-solving approach to modern police leadership. It provides a comprehensive insider's view into the challenging work of police leaders at all levels of management. The authors draw on their extensive practical experience to critique the organizational, personnel and operational issues facing police agencies and to assert “what works” in contemporary police management.

The 4th Edition is a major revision, moving from a supervision to a management perspective. It covers new policing strategies, methods and technologies transforming the field and demanding new knowledge of police supervisors, managers and leaders. Extensive new discussion on police accountability examines constitutional policing and procedural justice, in connection with recent events challenging police use of force against unarmed minorities.
