Improving Police Department Management Through Problem-solving Task Forces

A case study in Organization Development. By Marvin Weisbord, Howard Lamb and Allan Drexler.

From the Preface: “For the past five years, I have practiced what goes loosely by the name of "organization development," or O.D. The term O. D. means all sorts of things to different people. To those who practice it its meanings include a point of view, a set of values, and a kit bag of technolo- gies for helping people in organizations to do better whatever it is they're trying to do. In general, the viewpoint of O.D. consultants is strongly influenced by the behavioral sciences. It is also influenced by what we were doing before they started consulting, what kinds of people we are, and what we know how to do best.
