Discussion

As a patrol lieutenant, effective management of the people and the allocated resources will be central in promoting the realization of the desired objectives of the program. The success of the leadership relies on the adoption of a variety of organizational theories that will promote the adoption of the program. Administrative theory proves effective in facilitating the realization of the desired organizational objectives. Administrative theory focuses on the role the managers should do in the organization and constituents of effective management practices. The variables and functions of the managers as stated by the theory include planning, organizing, commanding, controlling, and coordinating. Apart from defining the roles of the managers, it also provides an understanding on the different principles of managing people depending on the presented situation. Through this theory, I will gain knowledge of different management practices such as the division of labor, career orientation, formal selection, hierarchy, and authority; hence, the success of the program (Medan, 2010).

Theory Y postulates that employees who are self-motivated, self-controlled, and ambitious derive significant pleasure from their work and require minimal supervision. The theory allows managers to understand their employees better and adopt the desired leadership styles. Helfgott (2008) states that the General Systems Theory (GST) allows the management team of the criminal justice and law enforcement organizations to understand the structure and functions of their organizations.

Other theories applicable in criminal justice and law enforcement organizations include the trait theory emphasizing on the behavior of the employees and style theory, focusing on the leadership methods required in these organizations (Kania, & Davis, 2012)

Introduction of a change agent often faces the challenge of resistance to change. Similarly, the adoption of the new policy by the police officers is likely to face significant resistance. The resistance results from a variety of causes including lack of awareness, lack of involvement, and the police officers not aware of their expectations. In addition, differences in the personality of the police officers might result to their resistance to adoption of the change agent. Significant evidence shows that optimistic individuals easily accept change than pessimistic individuals. Mismanagement of the allocated funds might also occur. Effective management of the allocated resources often results in the success of the strategies of the policy. However, the above case might face the challenge of mismanagement of the allocated funds. Factors such as lack of transparency and accountability might affect the sustainability of the project (Helfgott, 2008).

In addition, poor coordination of activities between supervisors and the police officers is likely to arise. Poor coordination of activities between supervisors and police officers occurs because of factors…
