{"title":"The governance gap: examining the capacity of police service boards to hold police services accountable in Canada","authors":"Tarah Hodgkinson, Tullio Caputo, Natasha Martino","doi":"10.1080/15614263.2023.2281999","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15614263.2023.2281999","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn the wake of the Defund the Police and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movements, police accountability and legitimacy are commanding a significant amount of attention. Importantly, questions are being raised about how to effectively govern and manage policing especially with respect to police violence and misconduct. While much of this discussion has focused on the actions of the police, there has been little research examining the civilian bodies responsible for holding police accountable: Police Service Boards (PSBs). In recent years, a few high-profile public reports have identified that certain PSBs in Canada, are struggling to carry out their roles and responsibilities and offered numerous recommendations to address existing shortcomings. These detailed reports have important implications for oversight and governance. However, the scale and generalizability of the response to the concerns raised in these reports remains unknown. In this study, we explore issues of capacity and training for PSB members to better understand the gap between the expectations of PSBs to provide meaningful governance of the police and their perceived capacity to do so. Our research suggests that a significant gap in governance exists, related to the lack of adequate training and capacity building in PSBs across the country. Recommendations and future directions are discussed.KEYWORDS: Police oversightpolice governancepolice service boardstraining and capacityCanada Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. ‘Commission’ is used instead of ‘board’ in some provinces and refers to the same governing body.2. Despite this distinction, many PSBs often struggle to determine the line between operations and policy (Caul, Citation2009; Roach, Citation2022). We would argue this relates directly to the issue of training on PSB roles.3. The conference took place in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, so this likely increased participation from the Saskatchewan PSBs and led to a higher representation for this province.4. Ontario is the most densely populated province in Ontario, with the largest number of police service, hence why it accounts for approximately 1/3 of participants here.5. The codes here represent the interviewee (I) or discussant (D) number, and their province (ex. SK is Saskatchewan). An addition of – FN refers to a First Nations Service within a particular province.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council [892-2022-0021].Notes on contributorsTarah HodgkinsonTarah Hodgkinson, PhD, is an assistant professor in the department of Criminology at Wilfrid Laurier University.

In this exploratory study we seek to better understand the decision-making processes that are involved. Eighty-six third-year police students performed a use-of-force training exercise in an audio-visual, critical scenario simulation. Participants answered debriefing interviews about their subjective decision processes. Qualitative content analyses of the interviews indicated that the decision-making was based on visual, dynamic, and central information, more than on auditory, static, and peripheral information. Thoughts about the situation as well as thoughts about themselves were reported. Decision strategies were affected by level of expertise. Most participants made decisions that met safety concerns. The current study emphasizes the advantage of familiarizing students with a variety of operational settings, as well as their personal reactions towards them. It suggests the advantages of simulated training that includes psychological factors alongside more tactical and technical factors, including training in stress-regulation techniques.","PeriodicalId":47167,"journal":{"name":"Police Practice and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135863651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior inquiries have focused on the dangers resulting from injurious accidents or citizen-based violence, additional aspects of the external work environment have the potential to invoke concern among police. Utilizing survey data from a large municipal police department in the Southern region of the United States, the current study examines previously excluded sources of danger among police with street-level assignments – negative publicity and citizen cooperation. Our multivariate results reveal positive associations between negative publicity and perceptions of external danger, while a negative relationship was found for citizen cooperation. The implications for police practice and research are discussed.KEYWORDS: Policedangerpolice culturenegative publicityoccupational attitudes Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The low alpha for the law-enforcement scale is typical of similar scales used in previous research (e.g., Gau et al., Citation2013; Paoline & Gau, Citation2018). It could be that more than three items are needed to ensure content validity for this role orientation; Cochran and Bromley’s (Citation2003) 13-item scale had an alpha of .76. The present scale, though, is an improvement over single-item measures seen in much previous work (e.g., Engel & Worden, Citation2003; Ingram et al., Citation2013; Paoline, Citation2004).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJacinta M.
