Unleashing the Power of Unconditional Respect: Transforming Law Enforcement and Police Training
Every day, police officers face challenges ranging from petty annoyances to the risk of death in the line of duty. Coupled with these difficulties is, in some cases, lack of community respect for the officers despite the dangers these men and women confront while protecting the public. Exploring issues of courage, integrity, leadership, and character, Unleashing the Power of Unconditional Respect examines ways to effect organizational change that helps police officers inspire community trust and support with every citizen contact. The book begins by discussing why courage is often lacking in a bravery-rich culture such as law enforcement. It demonstrates how personal integrity is the foundation for unconditional respect, and provides reasons why having and maintaining integrity are some of the most difficult struggles for individuals and law enforcement officers in particular. It enumerates some of the tactical benefits of unconditional respect as well as interpersonal benefits.
Then, the book explains the concept of anima-based leadership core competencies. It examines how unconditional respect affects law enforcement’s interaction with the communities in which it operates and describes how it creates and builds high character. Finally, the book explores way to influence an organizational culture toward unconditional respect.

Whenever a law enforcement issue is discussed on the news, it is easy to distill it down to the core issues discussed here. Even use of force issues that cause community outrage are often fueled by a wider community feeling of having been treated either poorly or without respect in a wider sense.
This book provides a true north for officers confronted by difficult situations, not encountered previously and the ability to find their way to a professional response even when decisive and forceful paths need to be taken.
An an organization can't offer the public unconditional respect unless it's treating each other with the same respect first. Much the internal conflict and millions in lost productivity can be traced back to lack of respect shown internally and the divisions and infighting that results.
I think if all departments were steeped in a culture of unconditional respect the problems encountered would be far few and community trust and co-operation much higher.
Anyone concerned about public safety and law enforcement could do much worse than spending some time reading this.
