Excellent- More about Chief Police Officers' Stories of Legitimacy: Power, Protection, Consent and Control
This book explores the perceptions of chief police officers in England and Wales regarding the right to exercise power, including their beliefs, motivations, backgrounds, and cultures. It highlights the use of three legitimizing narratives to support their privileged position and assert their preferences for the use of power, despite damaged processes of police governance that risk undermining police leadership and legitimacy.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate understandings of chief police officers in England and Wales regarding their power. By examining their beliefs, motivations, backgrounds, and cultures, it sheds light on their perceptions of power, coercion, control, policing purpose, gender-based understandings, protection of individuals, vulnerability, policing by consent, discretion, operational independence, law, oversight, and political direction (or governance). The authors explore the legitimating narratives employed by chief officers, emphasizing the protection of people, particularly the most vulnerable, policing by consent, and adherence to law and oversight.
However, the book also uncovers damaged processes of police governance that pose a risk to the leadership and legitimacy of the police force. Critically, the authors find that chief officers' understandings of legitimacy are often confused, conflicting, and convenient, enabling them to assert a privileged position from which they can pursue their preferences for the use of power.
This insightful work contributes to our understanding of the dynamics and complexities within police organizations, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities faced by chief police officers in their pursuit of effective and accountable policing. It is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the study of police leadership, governance, and public safety.
