“…Our results also mirror the studies on police integrity which found that perceptions of police integrity are mostly similar across different community types, but they still yield some differences (e.g. Khechumyan and Kutnjak Ivkovi c, 2019;Kutnjak Ivkovi c et al, 2016;Kutnjak Ivkovi c and Khechumyan, 2014). However, just like other studies indicate that there might be some urbanicity-related differences in experiences during the pandemic (e.g.…”

“…Studies on police integrity (e.g. Khechumyan and Kutnjak Ivkovi c, 2019;Kutnjak Ivkovi c et al, 2016;Kutnjak Ivkovi c and Khechumyan, 2014) indicate that, despite the views being mostly similar across the rural-urban divide (e.g. Kutnjak Ivkovi c and Khechumyan, 2014), there were some differences in the perceptions of misconduct seriousness, perceptions of disciplinary environments, and the code of silence.…”

PurposeWe explore the relationship between urbanicity and police officers’ perceptions of changes in their reactive and proactive work during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachUsing the 2021 survey of 1,262 Croatian police offices (436 police officers from a large urban community, 471 police officers from small towns and 155 from rural communities), we examine the perceived changes in their reactive activities (e.g. responses to the calls for service, arrests for minor crimes) and proactive activities (e.g. community policing activities, directed patrols) during the peak month of the pandemic compared to before the pandemic.FindingsThe majority of police officers in the study, regardless of the size of the community where they lived, reported no changes before and during the pandemic in reactive and proactive activities. Police officers from urban communities and small towns were more likely to note an increase in domestic violence calls for service. Police officers from urban communities were also more likely than the respondents from small towns and rural communities to report an increase in the responses to the disturbances of public order. Finally, police officers from small communities were most likely to observe a change in the frequency of traffic stops during the pandemic.Originality/valueThis study is the first one to explore the differences in perceptions of COVID-19-related changes in reactive and proactive police activities in a centralized police system.

“…Prior studies on police attitudes have reported differences across subunits of the same police agency, such as precincts or districts (e.g. Hickman et al, 2016;Khechumyan and Kutnjak Ivkovi c, 2019;Klinger, 1997). Extant research has also explored differences across police workgroups (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study adds to the developing literature on how coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affected policing. Unlike prior research, which focused on police agencies, the authors focus on the perceptions and experiences of police officers. Specifically, about changes in workload or activities during the peak of the pandemic compared to prior to the pandemic. Additionally, officers report on changes in potential second-order effects resulting in changes from the pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe data come from the survey responses of 167 police officers from seven police agencies of various sizes from around the USA. The authors assessed mean level differences between organizations using a general linear model/ANOVA approach and report a standardized effect size.FindingsThere is a considerable heterogeneity in police officers' perceptions of organizational and operational changes made by their police agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that perceptions of some changes were more strongly by the agency than were others. The study’s results show there are substantive differences in how police officers from different police agencies viewed these operational and organizational changes (i.e. between agency differences). Most of the variance was primarily explained by differences between police officers within the same agency (i.e. within organization differences).Originality/valueThis study moves beyond the monolithic approach to studying how the pandemic affected the police agency and moves to asking officers about their experiences with these changes and the second-order effects of these changes.

The aim of this article is to explain the advantages of national reputation. In globalization, reputation for a country is needed to get more potential investors, exporters, and travelers. One of the many ways to build a national reputation is through political or military diplomacy because it provides security guarantees for the international public. As an element in the defense department, the police must participate through reputation management strategies to gain national standing. The police must work professionally in order to contribute to building a national reputation. This article uses the comprehensive literature study and meta-synthesis analysis method to explains how the police performance, in communication perspective, can contribute to the national reputation. Policymakers could use this article to assist public policies designed to improve national, primarily through political diplomacy.
