Louisville Metro Police Evaluation Study Results

The President’s 21^st Century Police Task Force Report identified building legitimacy and procedural justice as the main pillar to policing reform in the United States. In 2015, the Louisville Metro Police Department required all sworn personnel to participate in a two-day training course focused on emotional survival and procedural justice. Researchers from the University of Louisville and University of Central Missouri evaluated the impact of the training on sworn personnel’s perceptions of the four procedural justice dimensions: trust, respect, neutrality, and participation. The evaluation used a pre- and post-test design to survey sworn personnel’s perceptions of procedural justice before and after the training. The findings indicate procedural justice training led to an increase in sworn personnel's support for all four procedural justice dimensions after training was completed.

As Third Vice-President, Barnes joins other senior law enforcement officials from throughout the country providing educational and career development programs that are designed to challenge and to prepare law enforcement practitioners for the demands of today and tomorrow.

“I am extremely humbled to represent our department and our city on the SPI Executive Board,” said Barnes. “Being a part of this prestigious institute is in concert with GPD’s vision of being a national model for exceptional policing. Our department has a lot to share – and a lot to learn – by being more closely involved with this organization.”

Barnes’ appointment also landed Greensboro as the host city for the Institute’s 2018 National Police Conference which draws approximately 150 national and international law enforcement executives to a multi-day program.

“To get the Conference here, I had to promote the city of Greensboro to a panel,” said Barnes. “Another officer was also petitioning for his city to host the conference. I am very excited that the SPI chose Greensboro as the location for its conference. We can offer the attendees good accommodations and many kinds of recreational activities.”

Barnes is also an adjunct professor at NC A&T State University. Additionally, he co-authored a paper for the Bureau of Justice Assistance entitled “Making Leadership Count: Implementing Effective Partnerships and Alternative Structures”.

“Captain Barnes is a natural and perfect choice to be on the SPI’s board,” stated Police Chief Wayne Scott. “He is an analytical thinker with a passion for his profession. He takes every opportunity to study difficult issues facing law enforcement today, and finds creative solutions that benefit everyone in our line of work.”

Since its creation in 1951, The Southern Police Institute has been consistently ranked among the top law enforcement educational and training schools in the nation.

The Southern Police Institute (SPI) is a division of the Department of Justice Administration, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Louisville.

Tucson Police Department

Tucson, Arizona

Chief of Police

The City of Tucson is seeking a proven leader who can inspire the confidence of the community and police officers as the city’s Police Chief. The successful candidate will be committed to using current data-driven policing strategies and applying the principles of community policing to reduce crime and deliver a high level of police services to all residents of Tucson. 

With a population of 526,000 covering an area of 250 square miles, Tucson is the 33rd largest city in United States. Located 65 miles from the Mexican border in the Sonoran Desert, Tucson is surrounded by five mountain ranges: the Tucson, Santa Catalina, Rincon, Santa Rita, and Tortolita ranges. With a diverse immigrant population, the city prides itself on its unique heritage and its commitment to inclusiveness.  Boasting an average of 350 sunny days a year and warm dry air, Tucson's climate is ideal for year-round outdoor recreation.   

Tucson is home to the University of Arizona—a campus of more than 42,000 students—and annual events that draw participants and spectators from around the world. Tucson’s Old West heritage serves as a backdrop to its current status as a modern city that is a destination for nearly 7 million visitors a year; a place known for outstanding hiking and outdoor adventures, a vibrant arts scene, fine golf courses, restaurants, and other attractions.

The Tucson Police Department is authorized at 1,002 sworn and 317 non-sworn positions, with a budget of $168 million.  Currently 940 sworn positions and 277 non-sworn positions are staffed.  The department responds to approximately 300,000 calls for service annually. 

The Chief of Police, who is responsible to the City Manager, must possess:

• Demonstrated competencies in effective leadership and building strong relationships of trust within the community and among the rank and file, and the ability to inspire confidence and serve as a role model and representative of the police department and the city.  
• A track record of unimpeachable ethics and integrity.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, and a demonstrated capacity to be visible within the department and out in the community.
• A demonstrated aptitude for creative problem solving, particularly in light of funding constraints.

• A track record and proven commitment to staff development and department-wide diversity and training.
• Experience in developing effective labor-management relationships.
• Extensive experience in the many aspects of contemporary policing practices in a diverse urban community.

The position requires a four-year college degree, progressively responsible command-level experience in policing in an urban community, and knowledge of best practices in policing. A graduate-level degree is strongly preferred, as is additional specialized leadership education, such as the Senior Management Institute for Police (SMIP), FBI National Academy, or the Southern Police Institute. Once appointed, the Police Chief must obtain Arizona POST certification, and reside in Tucson’s city limits within 6 months of being hired.
