Innovation and Creativity in the 21st Century Police Changes Abstract

Police perspective in the mid- 21st century has tremendously ‎changed and has created dreams police have in their roles in the society and it ‎might require that these dreams change so that it is to the benefit of both police ‎and the society.

Therefore; the future police chiefs will encounter important ‎choices every day.‎

In the mid twenty century, policing transformed abruptly. “A silent ‎revolution” has occurred. Non-governmental police increasingly developed and ‎police monopoly over policing was quickly fading. The wave that seemed non-‎ending and appeared to move in one direction, changed direction abruptly and ‎subsided. The reconstruction- based evidence of this polycentric policing was the ‎growth of private security which is now larger than governmental policing (in ‎terms of staff) in most parts of the world.‎

In particular, policing is a job related to “people and information”. ‎Therefore; police leaders and chiefs in all countries need to be aware of trends. In ‎addition, there is a need to understand how information is collected, exchanged ‎and used and the consequences of these activities should be investigated, as well.‎ Key Words: Innovation, Creativity, Change, Police, Challenge
