Law enforcement officers' desire to serve and protect aligns with servant leadership's underlying assumption that servant leaders, at their core, want to serve their followers. Therefore, servant leadership could be an important leadership model for police officers. The primary intent of this dissertation study was to add to servant leadership model-development research by investigating a potential outcome of this style of leadership. The secondary intent was to assist police managers in identifying specific leadership behaviors that improve officers' resilience in the workplace. This study used a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional survey research design. The Servant Leadership Scale (SL-28) measured the independent variable, the Employee Resilience Scale (EmpRes) measured the dependent variable, and the five demographic variables -- (a) leader gender, (b) leader rank, (d) respondent gender, (d) respondent time in law enforcement, and (e) department/agency size--contextualized the survey's results. The degree of skewness and lack of linearity in all of the data for each of the variables in this study prevented the central limit theorem from applying in this case, which made non-parametric correlation analysis the only viable statistical test with which to examine this dataset. Spearman's rho correlation coefficients indicated that all seven dimensions of servant leadership had a weak to moderate statistically significant relationship (p
