“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main…..”  – John Donne

The same goes for organizations. No organization is an island entirely of itself; every organization is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If you want an organization of excellence there is a need for input from others outside the organization. Therefore it is of importance to meet with others from different areas of expertise.

Background

The backdrop of the first PoliceTalent informal meeting was based on the knowledge that the western world police organizations are experiencing somewhat the same problems even though there are differences in regard of history and culture. Researchers as well as police employees have for a long time tried to influence police organizations to create long term effects on capacity and professionalism. The participants of this meeting possess knowledge from different areas of expertise both from within and from outside the police organization. Moreover the participants represent five countries and thereby five more or less different cultures. The hope for the meeting was that these different expertise of knowledge and experience together would be able to look beyond the common solutions and find new ways and means to influence the police. 

The participants held a short talk about their area of knowledge that was taped on video. Each and every one of the participants possesses knowledge of expertise and has a deep engagement in policing and the development of the police. The choice of areas of expertise and thereby participants was made to correspond to the problem areas that are shared by police organizations and that have been highlighted through research.
