Typical Values for Norwegian Police Leaders
摘要
This chapter explores the core values of Norwegian police leaders and compares them with findings from international studies on police leadership. Drawing on a 2022 survey of approximately 50 police leaders, the chapter identifies 10 key values that define leadership within the Norwegian police: loyalty, fairness, trust, integrity, honesty, role modeling, employee orientation, professionalism, decisiveness, and accessibility. These values are analyzed in light of existing leadership research, including studies from the FBI Academy and broader policing literature. The chapter highlights the alignment between personal, professional, and organizational values, underlining their importance in effective leadership. It also contrasts effective and ineffective leadership traits, emphasizing the role of values in shaping police culture and performance.
