Change is an inevitable part of life, and implementing and managing change is an inevitable part of police leadership. Contemporary police organizations are striving for excellence and professionalism in their operation as well as their management nowadays, and adopting organizational change in the police field presents enormous challenges, since it might confront staff resistance to the approach.
The change required in a police organization is often considered by the police membership to be radical even when it is relatively minor in nature.

In addition to introduced change, the society and the communities in which the police operate are constantly changing and at a rapid rate.
