This book introduces a comprehensive, normative model for police leadership tailored to the Norwegian context. It aims to strengthen leadership as a profession in the police by offering a shared philosophy and language for leadership. Addressing the lack of a unified leadership model in the Norwegian police, the authors propose a structured framework that integrates societal context, organizational structures, values, culture, and ethical standards. Drawing inspiration from the German cooperative leadership model, it emphasizes professionalism, collaboration, and the importance of both vertical and distributed leadership. The model’s five levels and four leadership dimensions serve as a guide for leaders across all organizational levels. Designed as a tool for reflection and development, the model is rooted in theory and practice and seeks to enhance leadership capacity and legitimacy in a democratic society.
