Excellent book! A must read for progressive line-level officers and aspiring police supervisors and command staff. The only practical book of its kind on the market. Although not red lights and sirens oriented, the book emphasizes ethical leadership skill development for frontline officers as well as police managers.

The book is well cited. The experts cited lend support, credibility, and validity to the authors' position. As stated in the book, the goal is to deploy officers to the field who are self-contained ethical leadership agents capable of demonstrating effective communications, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

I highly recommend the Meese and Ortmeier book.

After reading several "leadership" books over the last year, I found this one to be the most straight forward, well cited, and applicable.
Unlike some authors who just like hear themselves repeat old theory, Meese and Ortmeir give fresh , modern perspectives. I wish more progressive police chiefs would read this work.
