Needs Grading
Does community policing compete with or complement traditional policing? Is a community
policing strategy designed to replace traditional policing efforts?
Selected Answer:
Traditional policing primary concern in the 20th century was crime control, and was viewed as
the enforcement of criminal law. This era was also characterized by apolitical philosophy,
centralized administration, pinpointed responsibility, and strong discipline. Traditional policing
major concern was crime control, insisting aggressive enforcement, detection of major crimes,
and rapid response to 911 calls. Community policing strategy was not designed to compete with
traditional policing but to complement it. Community policing is a relationship between the public
and the police that promotes community welfare, which complements the aspect of crime control
of traditional policing. If the community feel that they have a partnership with officers they are
more like to work with officers to stop crime and control it.

Question 17
Needs Grading
Why do organizations fail? What is the relationship of leadership and organizational learning to
high performance and success in organizations?
Selected Answer:
Organizations fail because they allow too much complacency, and do not create powerful
guiding coalitions, underestimate and under communicate the power of vision, and permit
obstacles to block vision. Organizations also fail because they do not create short term
successes, they declare victory prematurely, and they neglect to anchor changes firmly in the
organization culture. Leadership organization creates and sustains a leadership-centered
culture, through which organization members are equipped to develop additional leaders at all
levels of the organization as well as within personal relationships and the community.
Organization learning is based on information that is generated as individuals in the group or
agency interact with the external environment or experiment to create new information
internally. A strong leader that promotes organizational learning creates a productive
environment with high performance in provided mission, and enables members with avenues for
input on decision making, and fully involves members of managing their work.
