Question 35
Incorrect
Incorrect
Which of the following is a fundamental characteristic police
leaders must consider when setting goals?
All police organizations should have only one stated goal.
A stated goal may or may not be identical to a real goal.
It is more important that a goal be exible than precise.
Highly verbal leaders tend to set the best goals.
Organizations benet by not pursuing all their real goals.
Chapter 3 says that a stated goal and a real goal may
or may not be identical. For example, a police agency proclaims a
goal of “Equal police service for all our community.” But in reality
the deployment of resources is based in favor of the business
community.

taking action/means alone is not a value. Possessing an enduring

Chapter 4 tells us that formal channels are usually vertical,
following the paths of the formal authority structure. Thus most of
the gap-lling subformal lines of communication are horizontal or
diagonal, connecting peers to each other, bosses to one another,
and peers and bosses as a team. Subformal communications also
give employees a forum for freely and comfortably relating to their
leaders and co-workers.
