Murphy studies a police-probation partnership in Spokane, Washington, and offers new
information regarding the reality of implementing police-probation partnerships for the
officers involved and the criminal justice agencies that sponsor them. His work is a
systematic evaluation of these concerns, with special attention given to the potential
problems of mission creep, mission distortion, and organizational lag. The real and potential
problem areas that may inhibit the full realization of the programıs goals are discussed in
depth. This information will assist agency administrators as well as future and current law
enforcement and corrections officers to better handle the challenges associated with
participating in effective police-probation partnerships.
