Motivation leads to more productivity, higher work quality, and increased job satisfaction. Officers with high morale use force less often and have fewer accusations of misconduct. Tangible incentives such as increases in pay and benefits have been shown to be poor motivators.

Assignment:

You are a line supervisor of 7 police officers. Your officers are performing well, but the current media climate has taken a toll on the morale and motivation of officers across the nation. Your officers are no exception. How will you keep your officers motivated? You have no budget. Any expenses come out of your pocket. You cannot change the shifts, hours, days off, duties and responsibilities, or pay. Despite these limitations, you have incredible influence over the morale of your people.

As a direct supervisor, research options on how you can motivate your officers. In this week's essay, discuss your plan to build and maintain morale and motivation for your officers. Cite at least one source other than the two provided. Be creative and think about how you would like your supervisor to act.
