Pampered Supervisors And Management Are Counterproductive In Police Work, Public Service, And Elsewhere

                      The basic role of a police department is to serve and protect. The basic way to achieve this is through patrol, including in vehicles, walking beats or foot patrol (which is the essence of true community policing), and on bicycles for some.  Those supervisors allowed to do little to nothing ( and having other personal off the streets, except for those medically incapable) does not serve the public or the basic police purpose, in addition to being a needless expensive cost.
                      The mindset of supervisory entitlement that occurs far too often in police departments and elsewhere - meaning certain supervisors and some others have near permanent exemption from work - is counterproductive and wasteful.
                      Cops need to be on the streets, and their supervisors on all levels, with few exceptions, need to be out there with them. Not as babysitters, but as full participants in the police mission of patrolling, serving and protecting.
                       Supporting a pampered, free from stress management class (for certain people, not all) does not serve the public good. Not in police work, not in public service, not in the private sector.
                        Reevaluating the amount and types of supervisors police departments and other bureaucracies need, and then streamlining these bureaucracies and making them lean and efficient is long overdo.
