Behavioral aspects of police management include leadership behavior styles, organizational culture, management communication behavior, organizational environment, transactional analysis, and understanding personnel through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Functional aspects of police management involve management planning, problem identification and decisionmaking, management by objectives, productivity, fiscal management, and time management. Major issues in contemporary police management concern use of power, civil liability, labor management, and ethics. The instructor's guide details each of these aspects of police management and provides a historical and philosophical overview of police management. Figures
