Abstract
As part of being an effective and efficient organization the police service has attempted to move from their traditional artisan role to one of professional status through effective leadership. This has been achieved in part by enhancing their service delivery by the importation of management strategies previously employed in other service organizations. In the police service the lowest rank often has the most power as it relates to discretion. Management and leadership skills are required, not only to the hierarchical structure of the organization, by individual officers. This article discusses the role of management and leadership in a modern police service.
