DATABASES "Empowerment and Accountability: Tools for Law Enforcement Leaders" The field of law enforcement demands the self-initiated thinking, innovation, team problem solving, and officer freedom that result from employee empowerment. Supervisors at all levels should recognize that empowering workers offers many benefits, to include decreased work-related stress, increased job satisfaction, employee involvement and contributions beyond normal expectations, enhanced commitment to the organization, and positive business outcomes. Accountability must accompany empowerment. The full text of this document can be located in the Core Database under document #593086. "Active Shooter Incidents" This policy is from the Coal City, Illinois, Police Department. It is the policy of the Coal City Police Department to protect human life by any legal means. Officers responding to an active shooter incident will accomplish this goal by immediately using any legal means at their disposal to make contact with the active shooter and stop the suspect(s). This may include arrest, containment, surrender and the use of deadly force if necessary at the time. This policy is located in the Policies Database under document #592984.
