17376. Organizational Change and Community Policing: Areas of Resistance and How to Overcome Them. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the problems and process of organizational change in police agencies moving from a traditional model to a community policing/problem solving model. Following an overview of the community policing model and a discussion of how it differs from the traditional/professional model of policing, the analysis examines the obstacles and internal resistance police agencies are likely to encounter as they attempt to make the transition to community policing. The analysis considers both the individual and the organizational factors impeding change in the police agency. Drawing on the experiences of police agencies which have attempted to make this transition, the investigation seeks to pinpoint the organizational factors that predict difficulty in effecting change as well as to identify those factors which seem to forecast success in the change process. KEYWORDS: organizational change police department community policing change resistance. APA Style. 22 pages, 65 footnotes, 20 bibliographic sources. 6,004 words.   $133
