The Grand Rapids Police Department shall encourage all members to be leaders.
Leadership is the most important goal and the hardest to define.
It means that each person in the department, from the captain to rookie, from the dispatcher to the Crime Scene Technician, must use his or her personal and positional power to help the Grand Rapids Police Department fulfill its mission of solving problems in neighborhoods. Through inspiration and perspiration, employees and volunteers of the department demonstrate that nothing can outperform dedicated people working together. 1 - Management must be willing to take risks and trust others. The Manual of Procedures will be revised and operational by November 1998. The Senior Management Team will name the Policy Development Committee by January 1999.
