Command Staff Consulting

Tens of thousands of first responders are seriously injured every year. Leadership must be practiced at all ranks and I encourage the younger officers and sergeants to get together and discuss how their organization is going to provide compensation for injured officers among other services. https://lnkd.in/etVi5FXx

If you can’t trust the data, you can’t trust the stats. Everyone is noticing that crime is rising. According to a recent Gallup poll 77% of Americans notice that crime is bad and getting worse. Yet that conflicts with what our national crime reports suggest. The AP reports: “The FBI’s voluntary collection of data from police across the country has long been an important gauge for understanding crime in the United States, but the drop in the number of agencies reporting means the report relied much more heavily on estimation, said Ames Grawert, senior counsel at the justice program at the Brennan Center for Justice. The findings could mean that crime rates are leveling off, but it’s hard to say for sure.” #CrimeStatistics #LawEnforcement #CrimeTrends #CommunitySafety https://lnkd.in/eNM78D9r

We need to understand the grave reality which is that law enforcement executives are rapidly running out of levers to pull and complete shifts will soon, unexpectedly, go unfilled. There will be no one left to call to work an overtime shift. There will be days, very soon, where 911 police service calls either get no response or a uselessly long response. #LawEnforcementExcellence #PoliceTraining #PublicSafety #JusticeSystem #CommunityPolicing https://lnkd.in/epMj-7Cs

Detectives spend hours on the phone parroting the nonsense that due to staffing and funding issues the agency will not pursue the shooting case where there was no victim or an uncooperative victim. It was attempted murder and there is no excuse for abandoning that case. However, suddenly their department can afford millions of dollars in body camera data storage? #gunviolence #violentcrime #policing #lawenforcement #crime #gun https://lnkd.in/eU-nuqJR

We must not do ‘back in the day’ conversations about what ‘real policing was like’ but we do need to equip the next generation with the knowledge that leadership must take place and be present at all ranks. #police #policing #policereform #massincarceration #criminaljustice https://lnkd.in/eQRRwe3s

We need new reasons, and they must be valid reasons, to get officers in the schools where they are needed. It should be inarguable that there are schools, especially in Chicago, where officers are needed. #chicago #police #policing #schoolsafety #criminaljustice https://lnkd.in/d2RTj6UZ
