What is The Form of Police Agencies about?

## Abstract The way police exercise their power depends in part on their incentives and agency structure. This chapter argues that the form of police agencies is essential for just and legitimate policing, and for guiding officers to minimize legitimacy risks. The argument begins with a diagnosis of the injustices of criminal patrol: the structure of police agencies contributed to the blending of high-legitimacy-risk police goals and tactics. The multifunctional, generalist nature of the police agency and the patrol officer enabled a plurality of officers to take up an unjust operational style. Not only are preventive patrol and criminal investigation distinct political powers, we also have reason to make finer distinctions according to legitimacy-risk profiles. The rise of criminal patrol motivates institutional boundaries to prevent the exercise of criminal patrol powers. The chapter concludes with a discussion of agency reform informed by the author’s account of just policing.
