Law enforcement strategy implementation: the case of police intelligence strategy

Abstract

Strategy implementation is important because failure to carry out strategy can cause lost opportunities and leave police officers reluctant to do strategic planning. Lack of implementation creates problems in maintaining priorities and reaching organizational goals. The strategy execution task is commonly the most complicated and time‐consuming part of strategic management. Yet, strategy implementation suffers from a general lack of academic attention. This paper makes a contribution to police strategy implementation literature by developing a research model to study the extent of intelligence strategy implementation.
