The police is an institution serving the society, its task being to enforce the law and take all actions aimed at eliminating its violations. As a uniformed and armed force, it plays an important role in the state security system, including prosecution of individuals who do not comply with applicable legal norms. The police offi cer’s profession enjoys particular respect, but to ensure the correctness of the service performed, only those who meet the requirements specifi ed for this profession can join the ranks of the police. The article presents topics related to the recruitment process, and the role of internal control as elements of crime prevention in the Polish police. A special role has been assigned to recruitment, which is responsible for verifying the admitted people – their character traits, moral attitudes, emotional stability, as well as health and physical fi tness. In turn, the task of control is, on the one hand, to ensure the correctness of service, and on the other hand, to reveal any irregularities and to strive to remove them. The internal control in the police is the responsibility of the Control Bureau at the National Police HQ under the direct supervision of the National Police Chief, Provincial HQ Control Departments under the supervision of the Provincial Police Chiefs, and inspections by designated persons under the supervision of the City Police Chiefs. In addition, new technologies have been introduced in the police for more effective control, including determining the location of offi cers (using the GPS system) and recording interventions (by body-worn cameras). The said technology also has a preventive function against breaking the law. The measure of control affects the number of all crimes revealed in the police environment. The analysis of revealed irregularities has shown that more than 50% of them are corruption-related offences, and therefore this aspect has been widely discussed in the article.

Purpose The police service has been encouraged to become a “self-reforming sector”, yet there is an acknowledgement of a “blame culture” within the policing. The purpose of this paper is to explore the barriers to “self-reform”, as identified by chief officers, and propose a series of strategies to help inform the future of police leadership. Design/methodology/approach The research is primarily underpinned by a series of semi-structured interviews with chief constables and a series of four workshops. Findings The paper argues that contemporary police cultures, and approaches to failure, are not conducive to the realisation of a “self-reforming” sector. It is proposed that strategic future leaders should consider establishing a common process for organisational learning whilst simultaneously encouraging cultural change that de-stigmatises failure and supports the development of adaptive and networked learning organisations. Research limitations/implications The research is limited by exclusively drawing on the perspective of chief officers and does not engage a representative cross section of the police service. The absence of detailed analysis of Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary findings to complement the review of IPCC recommendations is a limitation that weakens subsequent conclusions. Finally, this research would benefit considerations of potential structural and organisational changes that would support the realisation of a “self-reforming sector”. Practical implications This research supports work by the National Police Chiefs’ Council to deliver police reform. Originality/value The paper is informed by new and original qualitative research explicitly focused on the perspective of senior police leaders.

This article deals with the complex aspect of French public safety policies and offers a big-picture view of the factors that impact both their design and their implementation processes. Indeed, many players are involved in their development: city mayors and local police forces when they exist, but also local agents of the national police forces who have the main responsibilities in this field, and the Public Prosecutor. Whereas cooperation between national police forces and local authorities is statutory and needed in order to address safety issues, conflicts and tensions are not rare. Each stakeholder pursues their own objectives: mayors are seeking public support and try to meet local expectations, while national police chiefs favour priorities set by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Far from following only a rational choice process, the implementation of local safety policy results from power relationships and the position of each player in the game. To gain the upper hand over a partner, a stakeholder can rely on material resources but also on the control of information about security issues, knowledge and expertise in this field, and its legitimacy among the public. In the French case, two forms of legitimacy are in conflict as far as security policy is concerned. If mayors base their arguments on their status conferred by a democratic election, the police chiefs use the fact that they belong to a national service based on a principle of equality – even if it is not applied: every citizen has the same rights and duties, and is subjected to national policies. Because the French Republic does not recognize communities and local peculiarities, institutions tend to favour their own positions rather than dealing concretely with the safety issues.
