Metropolitan Toronto Police Services

Paper Summary:

This paper examines a notable Canadian organization, the Toronto Police Service, and briefly reviews its history and chief organizational features. In addition, the paper looks at the organization's communicative behaviors, at its organizational structure, and at its leadership (specifically, the apparent leadership style of Chief Bill Blair). The paper argues that, while the TPS has done a credible job over the years (and continues to do so today) it is an organization which needs to communicate better between those in administrative positions and those rank-and-file members who carry out the street-level operations of the organization.

From the Paper:

"The following paper provides a brief organizational overview of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service. Specifically, the paper describes the organization by detailing its history, what the organization is in the business of producing, its number of employees, and whether or not the writer has been involved with the organization. From there, the paper is divided into three sections which discuss three key components of Toronto's Police Services - namely, its communicative behaviors, its over-all structure, and the salient features of its leadership."
