4. DISCUSSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

In order to improve the quality of local police public services, we think that a number of changes

(improvements) could be done. These would serve to increase the quality like promptness, speed of
intervention, efficiency, training.

Regarding the average age of employees, we believe that they can integrate a policy of phasing in the

organization of young employees. They can bring a "fresh perspective" on service, they can come up with
new ways of working with new approaches to community problems. Also, by getting closer to young
people in the city, you can create a link that will facilitate communication with youth groups, so that local

authorities be able to realise different activities better, for example: the protection of citizens trying to
combat racing (encountered in the city), or youth groups that consumes substances prohibited by law.

Also, younger workers have a different learning ability, adaptability to change and enhance the civil

service permanent correlation with the changing needs of the community they serve. PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11 TH ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ”Strategic Management for Local Communities” 30 th – 31 st October 2015, Bucharest

reduced, so there is no incentive to increase efficiency and to motivate them to become more involved in
their work.

The possibility of promotion is another way to motivate employees, their incentive to permanently

overcome their limits in order to have access to higher stages in terms of hierarchy. Promoting employee
stimulate lifelong learning need, their willingness to carry on as best to meet the standards set by the

superiors. According to the employees of local police, the opportunities for promotion are restricted,
limited. Thus, to encourage the development of skills, knowledge, employers can choose to promote those
who show good results in the work. In this way professional development should be stimulated and could

increase the quality of local police activities.

In the absence of funds for salaries the local authorities may choos to introduce non-material benefits in
the local police services, correlated with physical and mental request of employees. Among the non-

material benefits, you can choose to create a pleasant environment, a mechanism for merits / good results
recognition of the organization, but also locally, for example in the local newspapers printed and
