copy editing.
It's a job with more than enough
stress, and seldom enough appreciation. In a
business of bylines, photo credits and celebri
ty columnists, copy editors labor in near
anonymity. It's far from the most glamorous
work in journalism, but there's none that's
’ more important to our profession.
Which is why Knight Ridder is creating
opportunities for 25 interns this year with

Police Training Program
Addresses Generation Gap
By Mandy Melton
Staff Writer
Trading their handcuffs and handguns
for pencils and paper, local law enforce
ment officers met Tuesday for a training
session that focused on improving inter
action with their younger co-workers.
Officers from UNC, Duke University,
N.C. State University and other sur
rounding communities attended the sem
inar led by master police officer Robert
Kipper of Newport News, Va.
Kipper discussed how older officers
relate to Generation X, which makes up
about 25 percent of the adult population
in the United States and includes people
bom between 1960 and 1980.
The majority of the officers said they
wanted to learn how to motivate and
communicate effectively with younger
workers for retention purposes.
“I’m interested in not only recruiting
quality candidates, but in being able to
retain them for a long period of time,”
said Jeff McCracken, deputy director of
UNC’s campus police.
Kipper said the largest part of mis
understanding in the workplace stems
from cultural differences among gener
ations. The differences, Kipper said,
result from changes in commerce, trade
and popular culture.
But Kipper was quick to acknowledge
that there are also similarities found in the
various age groups. “There are connec-
tions between generations,” he said. “We
just have to get over the stereotypes.”
Kipper used the session to challenge
officers to re-examine conventional
modes of communication between veter
an employees and fresh recruits. “There is
not a question that you’re going to have to
hire people from Generation X,” he said.
“1 want to make you look at the tradition
al modes and rethink them.”
Kipper warned the officers about a
“recruiting war” that is sweeping the
nation.
He said that because every employ
er wants the best and the brightest staff,
it is going to become more difficult to
attract and keep skilled employees.
To combat this problem, Kipper said
employers should include their staff in
decision-making processes on a regular
basis.
“If you treat them fairly and focus on
making them an active part of your
organization, then they are probably not
going to leave you,” he said.
Kipper also encouraged the officers
to maintain an open mind when dealing
with younger workers. He noted that
sometimes it is hard for younger gener
ations to identify with the procedures of
elders, and vice versa.
“Everything that has been set in stone
is not easily understood by everyone,”

he said. “There’s nothing wrong with
the old school, but you have to realize
that these employees haven’t had the
chance to go through the old school.
They only have experiences from their
lifetime.”
Giving rewards and acknowledge
ment of hard work are incentives that
Kipper readily supports. He said
employees of Generation X thrive on
the possibility of advancement
“Traditionally in law enforcement
we’ve lived by the standard that excel
lence is not rewarded, but expected,” he
said. “We need to change that philoso
phy. We need to let people know that if
they go beyond the daily norm, then
their efforts will be rewarded.”
UNC Director of Public Safety Derek
Poarch said he planned on meeting with
the other campus officers who attended
the meeting to hear their reactions and
brainstorm ideas for areas that might
need improvement.
“I hope this session will say to the
University community that we are con
tinuing to look at a number of different
things to improve our department,” he
said. “We are constantly exploring new
ideas and approaches.”
