OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL ATTEMPTS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN HIGH RANKING ADMINISTRATORS AND PATROLMEN BY INCREASING INTERGROUP CONTACT AT THE OPERATIONS LEVEL.
Abstract
TWO PROGRAMS WHICH HAVE BEEN INSTITUTED ARE A SYSTEM WHEREBY TOP-RANKING OFFICERS RIDE ON PATROL WITH A PATROLMAN AT REGULAR INTERVALS, AND MONTHLY LUNCHEONS ATTENDED BY TROOPERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS. BOTH HAVE RESULTED IN A FREE FLOW OF IDEAS AND PROBLEMS UNHAMPERED BY BARRIERS OF RANK.
