1. Identify and discuss the eight (8) recurring reasons why changes occur in law enforcement. There are many recurring reasons why changes occur in law enforcement. The book outlines 8 reasons why change occurs. The 8 reasons are as follows:1. A single catastrophic event, often followed by tort litigation, leads to the replacement of the police chief (Swanson, 2012, p. 650). This forces change because it addresses a single incident and forces change. A good example of this would be the failure to respond adequately to an incident. This can be seen when an unarmed person is killed by the police. This may be the result of inadequate training or a trigger force. Nonetheless, the community and senior administration want justice and so sometimes it comes in the form of change agents or decision makers, for example the police chief.2. A new mayor is elected and the current leader is replaced with one of the newly elected mayors of his choice. The new mayor can bring his or her own vision for how the agency should be organized and managed (Swanson, 2012, p. 650). This may ultimately lead to the firing of the current police chief because the new chief is better suited to implement changes consistent with the new mayor's political and philosophical vision of governance (Swanson, 2012, p. 651).3. A key political figure suffers severe embarrassment and believes law enforcement is to blame, resulting in the chief being forced to resign (Swanson, 2012, p. 651). A good example of this would be a tremendous embarrassment that publicizes and drives the political figure with a sense of disloyalty or support. Embarrassment alone can become a reason for a change in the law… halfway through the paper… is a function of their perception of the extent to which their agency is prepared for such a change (Swanson, 2012, p. 664). This model bases receptivity to change on the actual structure of an organization. An official may show receptivity based on the agency's availability for appropriate training, resource distribution, reorganization, and administrative commitment. These are all important aspects to consider when trying to determine and profile resistance to change within an agency. To achieve organizational change, the police manager must also have the will and skills to determine when change is necessary and also to adequately seize the opportunity. to implement change.
