Problem
Should police officers pursue arrests and legal actions against other officers? Should Officer Dunham have called his supervisor (or manager) to the scene to assist in making the decision to arrest? Why do you think Officer Dunham denied the sheriff the opportunity to speak to his supervisor or to go to his car?
Who was the manager in this particular case? Who was the line staff? Would you argue that there is a failure of leadership or of management in this case? Or of both or of neither? If you think there was a failure, explain how or why.
How might the previous criminal actions of sheriffs in this department impact the department's mission, vision, structure, and ability to meet its organizational goals?
What was the service that was being offered in this case? Was the service successful or unsuccessful? Why?
