Research suggests that supervisor burnout can influence burnout in employees, which can significantly impact the performance of the employees, the unit, and thus, organization goals (Cullen, 2014). To address this phenomena, I, as an administrator would put in place policies, procedures, and strategies that select and provide clear and reasonable expectations of supervisors and employees, provide yearly training to maintain their competency, and give them recognition, thus, show that their work is valuable to the organization and its achievement of goals.

There are four main executive styles that police executives employ in the execution of their roles. They include the administrator, the top cop, the politician, and the statesman. All these executive styles are dependent upon the particular external and internal roles and their time allocation for these responsibilities. In the two cases studies, both the new chief executives employ different executive styles in their attempts to reform their police departments. Captain Ed Davis employs the statesman style in running the Lowell Police Department (LPD) while Chief Ken Fortier uses the administrator style in his governance of the Riverside Police Department (RPD) which bear certain similarities and differences.

‘’Most officers enter law enforcement with minimal experience in the field or in handling the moral dilemmas that officers typically encounter. They learn how to perform their jobs, as well as recognize the organizational norms, values, and culture, from their peers and supervisors.

Officers who come across situations where they are unsure what is morally and ethically best to do often turn to their peers for assurance and guidance. Good ethical behavior can easily be influenced by officers and those in law enforcement.
