Policing is heavily dependent on information, intelligence, and knowledge. The amount of information police officers come in contact with in the course of their work is often astounding. With a more proactive and preventive approach to crime reduction, police forces have increasingly relied on information and knowledge and associated information technology in terms of knowledge management systems to improve their performance. Accordingly, the management of knowledge is a crucial aspect of police work to promote knowledge development and sharing. This chapter covers key aspects of the police knowledge management strategy, including intelligence for knowledge, management approaches, knowledge integration, knowledge categories, organizational structure, and organizational culture for knowledge management.

Positive Effects

A central question for researchers and practitioners is whether and how knowledge management strategy (KMS) and information technology (IT) strategy alignment can help attain a competitive advantage. To address this question, this study draws on information strategic alignment (ITSA), and empirically examines the relationship between a firm’s KMS and IT on competitive performance. The survey examined empirical data from 225 Brazilian companies using the partial least squares path modeling to test the hypotheses proposed herein. The findings demonstrated that KMS exert significant, positive effects on ITSA, benefits of IT use (BUTI), business process performance (BPP), and firm performance (FP). The results suggest that researchers and practitioners should look beyond the direct effects on FP,  and identify how KMS and ITSA can be leveraged to enable and support BPP, and thereby contributed to knowledge management strategy and IT business value literature.

The intranet is a common feature in many organizations. With the increasing use of a technology infrastructure in organizations, there is a continued challenge for employees in an organization to contribute their knowledge willingly and to make use of knowledge sharing with other employees. Intranets are well-suited for use as a strategic tool in knowledge sharing due to their ability to support the distribution, connectivity and publishing of data and information. Intranets should be seen as integral to an organization’s knowledge management strategy and should be tailored to suit and enhance an organization’s knowledge-sharing activities. The question arises: To what extent does an organization’s existing intranet facilitate knowledge sharing? From a practitioner-based inquiry perspective, this question was explored by the selection of a large organization – eThekwini Municipality, Durban, South Africa – as the field of application. Derived from a mixed methodology approach, the results of a survey are presented. It is suggested that encouragement be given for more practitioner-based inquiry research.
