Victoria Freeman March 1, 2024 CJ-205: Policing in the United States Project 3 What issues of public trust arise ? In the scenario that was given, and the interaction between the business owner and the homeless man, one of these two people is not gonna like the outcome. In this particular scenario, the store owner would be the unhappy one in the situation. Since the officer didn’t detain him as the store owner would’ve preferred. The officer was very compassionate and responded well to the homeless man’s presence. What can be done to address issues of public trust? To gain the Public trust and to address the issue, the LAPD can talk to local social workers that can come out and help with individuals that are living on Skid Row. As they are going out there to help people on Skid Row, the social workers can help with resources that are available to them to get them off the street. Once they start getting into the resources that are provided to them they can start to become part of their community and even help out the people that are living on Skid Row. It's like a cycle.

Where is discretion being used? The officer in this scenario shows so much empathy and compassion towards the homeless man, and Eva connects with him as being a veteran. He doesn’t automatically assume that the guy is a threat, he shows the man respect that he would show anyone else on the street that he didn’t know. The officer went above me and even offered resources just as the VA hospital to help with treatment. To go even further beyond that the officer even offered to take his belongings to an inventory that he can’t take to the hospital so when he is discharged, he will have them. Where could discretion be used more judiciously? Discretion can be used more judiciously by and instead of trying to always arrest a homeless person. They should try to talk to each individual and offer resources. Being locked up always a solution? It’s a temporary solution that is not fix the ongoing long-term problem How can procedural justice create more positive public opinion about the LAPD work with the issues surrounding homelessness?

Procedure justice can show the public that the LAPD is going to do everything that they can to help with the issues of homelessness. “ law enforcement agencies, that employee procedure justice can restore legitimacy, build trust, and enhance citizen satisfaction”(Alderson, 2017). How can police transparency aid the LAPD in this situation? Police transparency can help a LAPD in the homelessness situation by gaining the trust of the public and the community that surrounds them. Transparency in policing “ emphasizes making policies and procedures, data and information, and decision-making open to the public”(Lusczynski,2022). What this means is that the LAPD and the community can work together to identify the problem, homelessness and come together to find a solution for this situation and work together as a team. What are the principles of community policing? The principles of community policing are to “ proactively identify problems, develop initiative responses, and evaluate the results”(IACP). To really explain this in easy terms. Committee policing brings more effective ways for the community to have more involvement and try to fight crime. Why is community policing a valuable approach for today’s problems?
