Title: Inquiry into the command, management and functions of the senior structure of Victoria Police Summary: Events immediately preceding the announcement of the Inquiry highlighted a perception that the effectiveness of the senior command of Victoria Police was compromised by dysfunctional relationships of those in senior command positions. On 6 May 2011, the then Chief Commissioner Mr Simon Overland directed that Deputy Commissioner Sir Ken Jones take leave, effective from close of business on 6 May 2011. Sir Ken Jones had, previously, on 2 May 2011 announced his intention to resign from Victoria Police, with the resignation to take effect on 5 August 2011. The resignation of Sir Ken Jones, and the direction that he take leave, was preceded by many weeks of speculation in the media about tensions between members of the senior command of Victoria Police. Mr Overland was appointed Chief Commissioner of Police in March 2009. He resigned on 16 June 2011. His resignation followed the release of a report by the Ombudsman earlier that day, Investigation into an allegation about Victoria Police crime statistics. On 27 October 2011, the Office of Police Integrity released a report Crossing the Line that further highlighted the history of disunity in senior command in the months before the resignations of Sir Ken Jones and Mr Overland. This history, combined with a succession of reports, both internal and external, identifying chronic and costly mismanagement across important sections of the administration of Victoria Police, brought into question the effectiveness of the senior command structure and administration of Victoria Police and its ability to deliver best practice policing. The Inquiry was established in the light of this background. Details: Melbourne: State Services Authority, 2011. 128p.

Author: Schafer, Joseph A. Title: Perceptions of ineffective police leaders Summary: Most police (and - indeed - most public safety professionals) would be able to call to mind a leader that they have worked with who they regarded as ineffective. Perhaps this leader was too directive, or conversely, too laissez-faire. Perhaps this leader was dogmatic, or lacked warmth. Whatever it is about an ineffective leader, we tend to know it when we see it, although pinning down exactly what our discontent stems from can be difficult. Professor Joseph Schafer from the Southern Illinois University took up this challenge and sought to unpack what it is about ineffective leaders that we dislike. In this paper Professor Schafer explores officer perceptions of ineffective leadership, and concludes by helpfully grouping these shortcomings into those that we might be able to intervene with through leader development, and those less receptive to change. Importantly, Professor Schafer concludes with the caution that we are all a hair's breadth away from ineffectiveness, and perhaps the most important task for an emerging leader is to be aware of one's own shortcomings, because they will undoubtedly be visible to those whom one seeks to lead.
