“…Finally, changes in police earnings may be due less to the interplay of market forces than to the bargaining power of organized police. There is little doubt that the incidence of employee organization among American policemen has recently increased and is now widespread; in 1968, for example, 85% of surveyed municipalities reported the existence of a police employee organization (union or association), most of which organizations function as unions whatever their label or affiliation (Juris and Hutchinson, 1970). Unfortunately, however, little is known about the impact of unionism on police wages' O o r the extent to which organized police introduce rather than formalize collective bargaining in government.'…”

This paper challenges the popular claim that police labor shortages existed in large American cities during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Empirical tests of a police salary determination model reveal that police managers and public officials possess only limited direct control over police wges. Hence, manipulation of police manpower utilization practices (and, more basically, labor supply to police departments) is the principal way of overcoming “labor shortages.” In recent years, this has included substitution of clerical for sworn personnel, elimination of non‐job‐related entry requirements, and expansion of auxilhry police forces.

Virtually unstudied and largely unobserved, the police employee organization has evolved over the last fifty years into a strong economic and political institution. The rapid growth of militant police unionism as a new political and economic force in the society has raised serious problems for the police agency administrator in the exercise of his professional responsibilities in the area of law enforcement and his executive responsibilities in the area of personnel management. It has also raised serious public policy questions as to whether the protected right to organize and to bargain collectively which is being extended to all other public employees ought to be extended to the police without limitations. Underlying all these questions is the basic issue of whether official sanction should be extended to another entrant in the competition for control of local police operations.
