teamwork
There are many reasons why teamwork is important. Without teamwork you cannot accomplish anything in a work environment. Teamwork is defined as “the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.” It can be the only way that law enforcement can get the job done. If agencies do not have a good teamwork within their departments; they cannot have a good officer. They will not look out for each other and they will not trust each other.
Having teamwork can dictate how a situation occurs. You can increase safety, improve effectiveness, strengthen communication, boost morale, and make a police department more successful by using teamwork. A well-functioning team has synergy; the group members work together and off each other, improving each other's ideas and actions. A well-functioning team works interdependently; each officer is mutually dependent on the other to get the job done. Also, in a well-functioning team, the members support each other, both professionally and emotionally. Finally, in a well-functioning team, the team members share the same goals and values.
First-line supervisors' behavior is the single most important factor in promoting teamwork among their officers. Supervisors should treat every officer equally and fairly, without regard to race, religion, gender, or friendship, and should show concern for everyone's personal welfare. The supervisor should deal severely with officers who disregard team standards, and should not allow officers to degrade each other. If a officer is not using teamwork with one another, there is a possibility of a dangerous situation escalating. It is always the first line supervisor’s job as a leader to know how the team is working together. They should know if an officer is not getting along with his or her co-workers and should deal with them accordingly.
