Description This unit will focus on understanding contemporary corporate governance and accountability within the practice of policing. Core to the content of the unit is the study of the commitment by governments to practices at an individual and organisational level that are based on accountability, contestability and lead to continuous improvement. The role of leadership in shaping and driving the commitment to continuous improvement in service delivery will be considered as well as issues concerning performance measurement, transparent governance, and accountable processes. Best practice policies and systems will be used within the teaching of this unit and examined through a case study teaching approach.
