Seminar: Building Trust Inside and Out: The Challenge of Legitimacy Facing Police Leaders

How should police leaders manage officers and nonsworn staff — and still ensure that organizational goals are being met — when major changes are introduced? A seminar will be held April 21, 2014 on how the quality and fairness of decision making by police leaders influences whether officers, and the citizens they are sworn to serve, are satisfied with their interactions and trust and accept their decision making authority. The seminar is sponsored by the National Institute of Justice and will feature Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum, Director of the Center for Research in Law and Justice at the University of Illinois, Chicago. The seminar will be held from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Office of Justice Programs, Third Floor Ballroom, 810 Seventh St., NW, Washington, D.C. For more information or to RSVP, contact Ted Robinson at Theodore.D.Robinson@usdoj.gov or (202) 616-1739. This seminar is free, but you must RSVP to gain access to the OJP building.
