Police management includes the administrative activities of controlling, directing, and coordinating police personnel, resources, and activities in the service of preventing crime, apprehending criminals, recovering stolen property, and performing regulatory and helping services. The two basic organizational types associated with police agencies are line and staff. Line operations focus on field and supervisory activities related to daily police work. Staff operations include support roles, such as police administration.
