ABSTRACT
Introduction This chapter deals with translating intentions into success. It begins with a discussion of
the motivations for becoming a police manager. It then presents a simple model in which
the police manager’s philosophy-his or her values and beliefs-can be expressed in
stated principles that guide behavior through decisions, routine activities, standards,
policies, and procedures. Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of the model, the components of
which are discussed in turn.
