You have been appointed the new commissioner of the Anycity Police Department.
Anycity is a suburban city 60 miles from a major U.S. city; it has a population of 30,000
people and a police department of 100 officers. The major police problems in Anycity are
disorderly teens making unnecessary noise at night, parking and traffic problems in the
commercial district during business hours, and daytime residential burglaries.
The former commissioner’s assistant tells you that the department has no organizational
chart, no written rules and procedures, and “has always done a great job in the past.
”Anycity’s” city manager, however, tells you that the former commissioner was incompetent
and that the department is totally disorganized and ineffective.
You review the department’s personnel records and find that of the 100 officers in the
department, 30 percent are patrol officers, 30 percent are detectives, and 40 percent are
supervisors. Would you reorganize the department?
Why or why not? If you would reorganize, how would you do it?
