Introduction At a seminar placed by the city government, a police chief brought up the discussion about a problem he was dealing with at his department. He was strongly having issues with motivating his police officers to correctly fill out the paper work properly or in a timely matter after a case had been issued. This lack of motivation and attention lead them to sometimes losing cases in the court because they didn’t have satisfactory paper work that had the necessary listed facts that the court would need. He tried to use different techniques to motivate the officers, however with out being able to compensate the officers with a financial reward they would not get motivated enough to do the paper work properly.
Primary problem The primary problem in this case is the officers not being motivated enough to do the paperwork. With no policy on how to do the paper work that could also be a problem to why it is being done inadequately. It is the Capitan’s job to motivate his officers to completely their work correctly and accurately.
Secondary problem No motivation leads to the paper work not being done in a timely manner and also it not being done correct. Also if the paper work is not being done in a timely manner or correct it in turn leads to lost cases in court because the paperwork is necessary to have all the facts of the case presented correctly.
Impacts on community If these reports are poorly done and leading to lost cases then the police department are failing their duty to the community. It is their job to serve and protect the community to the best of their ability but if they cannot close cases just because they cannot but the time and effort into writing
