DESCRIPTION
Presentation made by Mr. Gosselin at 2007 INL Conference on Police Development Initiatives held at the US State Department
Citation preview
Democratic Police Reform Republic of Panama
Program Goal • As a facilitator in a developing democracy,
• through world partnerships with brother police agencies,
• help bring about a democratic, non-military and effective national police agency, and,
• help shape this agency into a one that uses democratic community-based policing and technology to lower crime, disorder and fear of crime.
Why Democratic Policing?
Helps Prevent Caudillerismo; Autocrats flourish where local govt. is weak
Local officials involved in problem-solving
Local officials feel empowered/responsible
Citizens see cause/effect – lower crime and fear
Local officials held accountable for results
Creates multiple inputs into local government
Hypothesis
• Change cannot occur where the executive opposes it
• Commodities - costly and rarely bring about change
• Police leadership LA/CA in particular is “top-down”
• Paradigm change rather than programs/pilots
• The key is in police management
• First focus is on the top leadership
• Reaching the Tipping Point
