This paper began with the assumption that organizations which are structurally different will be led according to different models. Of necessity, some of their problems will be shared, while others will be unique. Furthermore, solutions sets will also be individualized and yet display commonalities. Interviews were conducted with the chiefs of the Ypsilanti Police Department and the Ann Arbor Township Fire Department. Also interviewed was the director of Washtenaw Community College Campus Safety and a branch manager for Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.
