Discuss the extent to which consolidation and the militarization of policing has moved police organizations away from being professional or organic structures to bureaucratic structures. How does this transformation to an organic structure affect employee creativity? For example, the amount of paper-work and checks that is associated with a bureaucratic structure means that in reality these systems tend to be slow and incredibly laborious for both the employees and the organization as a whole. Does this lead to police organizations missing out on innovative ideas? Could this transformation also lead to a demoralized workforce and efficiency levels being affected? How does this structure compare to the more fluid organic organization system? Does the organic system enable innovation to occur more easily?
