“…Thus, the agency appears to be responsive without having to change the technical core of the organization (Matusiak et al 2016). Such 'ceremonial' or 'symbolic' adoptions in law enforcement agencies have been observed by a number of scholars (Burruss & Giblin 2014;Gill, Weisburd, Telep, Vittner, & Bennett 2014;Hancock 2016;Maguire 1997;Matusiak et al 2016;Schulhofer, Tyler, & Huq 2011;Vasquez 2012;Zhao et al 2001).…”

Scholars generally agree that law enforcement organizations are influenced by the environment. While most research on criminal justice organizations has focused on municipal law enforcement agencies, sheriff agencies are distinct from municipal police agencies for a variety of reasons. As such, sheriff agencies may be uniquely impacted by environmental pressures. In the current study, electronic surveys were sent to sheriffs in 9 states to assess their concern about juvenile trafficking, their perception of environmental groups' concern, and the agency's response to juvenile trafficking. Results suggested a complex relationship between environmental groups, respondent perceptions, and agency response. Most notably, sheriffs seemed to view themselves as most in sync with local groups, especially the community. Additionally, rural agencies did seem to be influenced differently by environmental groups than urban and suburban agencies. Future research should study rural agencies and also seek to more deeply understand the complex relationships between the environment and sheriffs.

“…This version of the survey was sent to agencies on 537 campuses of over 5,000 students, with a response rate of 85% (n 5 456). Based on the findings and recommendations from literature, to compare campus police agencies to municipal agencies, study samples must be similar (Hancock, 2016;Paoline and Sloan, 2003). Therefore, the sample was reduced to only included agencies who patrolled campus 24 h a day, 7 days a week with sworn, armed officers (n 5 447).…”

“…The 2011-2012 SCLEA contained a total of 434 variables, including officer totals, demographics, hiring, training, salaries and policies. Variables were chosen for the current study based on previous municipal and campus police literature (Hancock, 2016;Langworthy, 1986;Maguire, 1997;Paoline and Sloan, 2003).…”

“…The independent variable in the study is community policing. Following the SCLE community policing measures used in Hancock's (2016) study of community policing adoption in campus law enforcement agencies, an index based on survey response was created to assess community policing's adoption and degree of implementation. If the agencies responded that they had not "incorporated community policing elements into campus security policy," they were assigned a community policing score of 0.…”

“…Since campus law enforcement agencies operate in an environment different from municipal police, the control of the institution by public or private entities may influence the structure and activities of the agency (Bromley, 2013;Hancock, 2016;Paoline and Sloan, 2003). Public institutions are supported through public funding and managed by elected or appointed officials, whereas private institutions are not subject to the same level of political influence, and their campus police agencies may experience less autonomy.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between emergency preparedness and community policing within campus law enforcement agencies, as well as agency and campus characteristics that impact the level of emergency preparedness activities.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from the 2011–2012 Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies, this study employs ordinary least squares regression modeling to examine emergency preparedness and community policing relationships within 298 campus law enforcement agencies.FindingsCommunity policing is the greatest predictor of emergency preparedness in campus law enforcement agencies. This finding refutes arguments that emergency preparedness and community policing are incompatible policing innovations.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited by the use of secondary data. Future research should utilize survey measures to better isolate the roles and functions of community policing and emergency preparedness.Practical implicationsThe findings have implications for campus law enforcement agencies to view emergency preparedness and community policing activities as interrelated. Specifically, agency administration can benefit by taking a holistic approach to campus policing and preparedness.Originality/valueThis paper extends the current research in municipal policing to the campus police environment. This paper also adds to the limited body of literature on the relationships between community policing and emergency preparedness.
