Abstract

The paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue perceived effective policing through leaderships’ diversity training learning outcomes and cultural competence. The main purpose of this quantitative correlational study was conducted to address if and to what extent the leadership of law enforcement agencies is learning outcomes of diversity training initiatives and the level of cultural competence of leadership influences law enforcement organizational effectiveness. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of effective policing leadership indicates that this quantitative research study expands police leadership knowledge base by identifying whether significant differences exist in police effectiveness when incorporating diversity training initiative learning outcomes and cultural competence both exclusively and collectively. The relevance of the decision of this scientific problem is that police leadership possessing the knowledge and understanding police effectiveness through diversity training initiative learning outcomes and cultural competence can adapt and adjust in concert with the need to be more effective in Black and multicultural commutes based on the study’s findings. The statistical significance indicated in this study concerning diversity training initiative learning outcomes predicting police effectiveness is substantial. The paper presents the results of this empirical analysis study that may contribute to the positive national senior management change by bringing into focus the role of effective policing through leaderships’ diversity training learning outcomes and cultural competence and its positive impact on the public sector. Keywords: Cultural Competence, Diversity Training, Management Effectiveness, Multicultural Leadership, Management Decision, Business Ethics.

Summary

Introduction

Policing in the United States, a democratic society is as straightforward as ensuring public order, keeping citizens safe and instilling trust while respecting their rights in principal insinuate an uncomplicated theory of policing. Police have been influenced by societal constraints, insisting that their effectiveness measurements be in line with fighting crime. Public and political definitions of police effectiveness demand that they solve crimes and put more criminals behind bars (Skogan, 1976). It has been the pursuit of this type of measurement, which has further eroded the relationship between police and the communities they serve. The dilemma of establishing measures leading to effectiveness and at the same time upsurge the relationship between police and community plague police leadership in today’s society. The study developed productive measurements that increase public satisfaction and improve police effectiveness. The more informative indicators of public satisfaction and confidence in the police while reducing crime are desired but harder to capture (Tiwana, Bass, & Farrell, 2015)
