Prerequisites: Undergraduate course in law enforcement management (CJ 3160 or equivalent) or consent of graduate coordinator; graduate standing.

PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE:

To explore management, leadership, team building, and preparation of budget materials
to assist them in supervisory positions
To consider the major issues confronting police managers within law enforcement
organizations.

EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS:

• Attendance and participation in the classroom.
• Read all assigned material and participate in a lecture-discussion format.
• Completion of all exams at the time they are scheduled.
• Completion of student assignments by due date.

GRADING:

Mid-Term Exam (multi-choice, short answer, matching) 100 points
Final (essay exam in class) 200 points
Budget Assignment 100 points
Theorist Assignment 100 points
Reflective Term Paper (5 to 7 pages) 100 points
TOTAL 600 points

Standard Deviation +3 to +2 A
Standard Deviation +2 to +1 B
Standard Deviation +1 to -1 C
Standard Deviation -1 to -2 D
Standard Deviation -2 to -3 F

PLEASE NOTE: Your letter grade for this course is based upon your total accumulation of points. A perfect score would be 600 points. An average score would be half of this or 300 points. Your letter grade will not be known until the final class points mean is computed and then placed into a grade curve (based upon standard deviation units). Remember: You will not get letter grades during the course (you accumulate points). The plus adn minus grading option will not be used in this course.

REFLECTIVE TERM PAPER (5 TO 7 PAGES)

You are to write a reflection on moving from older leadership and management styles (theories) to more modern ones. From your textbook: Management of Organizational Behavior by Hersey, Blachard and Johnson, you are to use Chapter 19 "Leadership Strategies for Organizational Transformations" and Chapter 21 "Synthesizing Management Theory: Interrogatory Situational Leadership with the Classics" to develop your themes and idea of management and leadership. Following key sub-titles and points in these two chapters, you are to pretend you are the new police chief and you want to move away from the old rigid, para-military bureaucracy style into a more people and service oriented organization and supervision.

Your paper is to be typed and doubled spaced. It must be a minimum of five (5) pages but not longer than seven (7) pages total. You do not need a biography. Points will be awarded as you use theories, theorist, and ideas from the book and lectures. Again, a good place to start is by reviewing the sub-paragraphics and topics addressed in chapters 19 and 21 and the use of words such as transformation and synthesigning.

MAKE-UP EXAMS:

With appropriate documentation, such as any of the following, a student may take a missed hour exam

• Notice of death or funeral home program card for immediate family (father, mother, sister(s), brother(s) or grandparent(s).
• Upon appropriate documentation of illness (doctor's note or hospital document).
• Military service or having to work in a criminal justice capacity and upon presentation of military orders or a note from your criminal justice agency letterhead stating you had to work and signed by your supervisor or superior.
• All other emergencies (such as your children) or other factors that caused you to miss an hours exam will be evaluated and judged by the instructor as to the permission of a student to take a missed hour examination. All these events will require some form of documentation.

PLAGIARISM:

All perspective criminal justice students fall under a Code of Ethics. For future police officers the IACP (International Chiefs of Police) has a code and for juvenile and corrections the American Correctional Association (ACA) has one. Sociologists also have a well-developed code of ethics. Plagiarism violations (the incorporation of another's work into your own without citation of the source) are part of these codes. When you apply to work in the criminal justice system, pre-investigators do a background check including talking with your criminal justice professors. Don't be caught plagiarizing. Plagiarism is a violation of the student code of ethics. If in doubt, cite the source(s).

ATTENDANCE:

Good scholars are good class attenders. Much of the material on exams is from class lectures and not in your book(s). Classroom attendance and class participation can help to make the difference from a marginal grade moved upwards toward a better grade. Students are expected to attend 80% of all classes. Students who miss 4 or more classes on a Tuesday-Thursday schedule or who miss 6 or more classes on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule will have their grade lowered.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES:

Please turn off all cell phones and pagers during class.
