Carleton professors unveil findings of three-year study of police
Canadian police officers are dedicated to improving their level of professionalism in order to provide top-notch service to the people they serve in their communities, according to results of a groundbreaking national study by two Carleton professors released today.
The report, called Professionalism in Policing, was written by Lorraine Dyke, Director of the Centre for Research and Education on Women and Work and Associate Professor of Management and Strategy at the Sprott School of Business, and Stephen Maguire, acting director of the Centre on Values and Ethics, alongside the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP). The three-year policing study is the first of its kind in the world and examines what drives professionalism within Canadian police services. The report includes a survey of more than 10,000 respondents from 31 forces across Canada.
