A Report On Placer County Sheriff Ride Along

This evening I received a phone call from Corporal James Suess regarding an off duty law enforcement contact he had this evening with San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department Rancho Cucamonga Station. Corporal Suess stated that he called SBSO to his residence this evening due to an ongoing dispute he is having with one of his neighbors. This evening Corporal Suess observed that his neighbor had mounted a camera on his own property but in such a way that allowed his neighbor to view and record what was taking place in Corporal Suess’s home. During the course of the investigation the deputies discovered that Corporal Suess also had camera in his yard facing his neighbors home. Due to this SBSO completed a 647.6 PC /Annoying or Molesting a Child Under

“Community policing is, in essence, a collaboration between the police and the community that identifies and solves community problems” (U.S. Department of Justice, 1994, p. vii). Throughout the years, community policing has become a more popular strategy to help law enforcement officials control and deter crime; however, some areas across the United States has had problems in the past with communities and law enforcement working together to ensure a secure and safe environment. Although it is an officer’s duty to maintain order, keep the peace, and solve problems within the area he or she

At this Juncture, an Offender Protection investigation recommending unit transfer for Offender Wilcox is currently before the McConnell unit classification committee while Offender Greer has been placed in Prehearing Detention (PHD) and charged with Level 1, Code 2.3 ‘Fighting or assaulting an offender without a weapon which results in a serious

On 02/27/2017, I, Dillon Dickerson, badge #155, was working as a Patrol Officer for the Wichita State University Police Department (WSU PD), in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. At approximately 2300 hours during our shift briefing second shift advised we may have to do some follow up to a case they had earlier in the shift. Officer Ben Gabel #152 was the one who took the case. Officer Gabel advised there was a Battery case which happened earlier in the day. This case involved two students. Officer Gabel said there may be a male student by the name of Mekeal Simmons making contact with WSU PD. Officer Gable stated the female half of the Battery (Jessica Johnson) would be leaving campus around 0130 hours to return to Texas. Officer Gabel advised he told the female half to call WSU PD and we would come out there to make sure she was safe while she packed up her items. Officer Gable also said he was in contact with Chief Sara Morris #113 and she was aware of the case. Officer Gable said if we do have contact with the male to get a statement from him and to contact the Captains or Chief.

The minimum qualifications include various aspects. Minimum age level is one of the main qualifications. Each department have their own set of rules and regulations but for the most part all departments have a standard age requirement which is no younger than 21 and no older than 35. Experts were not sure if 21 was a good age requirement because they could not tell whether one at such a young age could handle the task and whether if they were mature enough to do the job effectively and efficiently. It is not today in which many department put a age maximum but there are still a few, such as the New York Police Department, they do not allow anyone over the age of 35, for retirement

Nestled on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Citrus County is home to hundreds of thousands of people, according to the latest data from the United States Census Bureau (source). Comprised of several small towns, Citrus County spans nearly six hundred square miles, consisting of an older, predominantly white population, based on reports from the Census Bureau (source). As the dominant law enforcement agency in the area, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) works diligently to ensure public safety through patrolling and policing. According to latest employment report from the CCSO, the agency employs thousands of personnel, with only one hundred ninety-eight sworn patrol officers (source). The employment report from the CCSO also indicates the

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is a place I walked afterschool to meet my mom or dad growing up, and where I have sat at wee hours of the morning waiting for my dad to finish a report so we could get back in his patrol car and cruise around on a ride along night. It is still a place where I am stopped and asked about plans for my future, and where I smile as people comment on how tall I have gotten. Here is where the parents of my peers, and my dad work together to protect us and strangers, while us ‘cop kids’ are at school. This is where my dad works during most holidays, and where he comes from in uniform, to games, birthdays, and even church on occasion. All my life I have been around and in the Sheriff’s Office, and it means a lot to

On Saturday, September 12, 2015, I was assigned to the 6 Northwest as the security officer. At approximately 0500 hours while breakfast trays were being distributed in pod 100, an inmate, later identified as Kimmie Hawkins became insolent and advised me to get out of the pod. I immediately asked him whom he was talking to and simultaneously walked over to him to view his armband. As I reached for Inmate Hawkins’s left wrist, he snatched away from me, got in a boxing stance, and began bouncing rhythmically on his toes. Therefore, I retrieved my T.A.S.E.R. from its holster and gave Inmate Hawkins loud verbal commands to get on the floor. However, he refused to follow my orders; therefore, I pushed him toward the wall and continued to instruct

Community relation issues across the nation have been increasing and causing many conflicts between law enforcement and communities. There has been so much disorder between communities and law enforcements not agreeing on how situation have been handled. Both the community and law enforcements having different perspectives on making decisions without ever looking at the others side and acknowledging each other’s reasoning behind their actions. Racism, responsibility and morals are some of many terms that are yet to be sorted out within all these communities that have on going conflicts. The relationships between a community and its law enforcement is important, although it is the police job to enforce, it is also the communities job to enforce all day and everyday (Russell).

Emshwiller and Gary Fields, Fields and Emshwiller make three main points where they address the topic of how the police force is reacting to the LEAD program. First, they discuss issues that have occurred with Seattle police in the past. Emshwiller and Fields mention the story on a Seattle officer who had shot and killed an innocent Native American wood carver who was holding a knife and posed no threat. They also mention the story of other Seattle officers pinning a Latino robbery suspect to the ground, abusing him, and threatening to “beat the Mexican piss” out of him. Second, the authors express how many of the officers are unpleased with the LEAD program for various reasons, mentioning the fact that “more than 100 officers sued in Seattle federal court seeking to overturn the rules.” Third, Fields and Emshwiller address that the police officers are using terms to describe their condition in relation to the program as “de-policing” and “discouraged-officer syndrome” and that the program “hampers officers’ right to self-defense and endangers the public.” The pieces of evidence given by the author’s shows that the police are not entirely reacting well to the changes cause by the LEAD program. I do agree with the police officers that this program can be a difficult task to have but I believe that evidence of its benefits towards the convicts is something worth sacrificing

It was reported to Ghere that Winbourn, Lonnie had been sending threatening texts to his ex-wife and daughter’s cellular phones. L. Winbourn had also left several threatening messages on the his ex-wifes phone. L.

Winbourne also indicated he would not go back to prison and would “shoot it out with the cops”.

There have been a number of changes within the legal and criminal justice system in the last 3-4 decades. History remembers, for example, the Kent State and Chicago Democratic Convention riots in 1968, and since then, a number of criminologists and political scientists have been asked about the use of force, rights-based policing, community involvement, and crime prevention (Russell 2005). The Red Cross and Amnesty International, for instance, have endorsed a rights-based policing model. This idea tempers all police activity with the basic tenet of human rights and rights under the Constitution. Central to this argument is the nature of the relationship between the community and the Criminal Justice System. Local law enforcement bond with community members to implement the day-to-day needs of that community. The idea centers around a basic philosophical tenet: use less force, communicate more, pay attention to human rights, and work to dialog and prevent, not to punish and incarcerate (Williamson 2008).

On August 14, 2015 I went on a ride along with IMPD officer Chris Cooper. Officer Cooper works in the north district of Indianapolis. His beat is N-9 which runs between the state fairground and the children’s museum. This area has a high drug rate and well as a high rate of illegal firearms. The days started out when we checked into the station around 12:45, the shift did not actually start until 1:30. Once we got into the office I was allowed to sit in for the roll call meeting that they had every day before their shift. It was pretty quick and to the point no one had any questions so we went out and hit the road soon after.

Did you know that 42% of Americans find their local law enforcement untrustworthy?  This is due in large part to the number of police related incidents that have been in the news of late.  The negative publicity that law enforcement is getting has an adverse effect on all police departments, nationwide. In turn this is having an effect on police-community relations.  To better the relations between the Ringgold police department and the community there needs to be more outreach programs.
