The San Antonio Police Department has multiple lawsuits against it. Two of those cases include Richard R. Buchanan and John David Palmer. According to Buchanan v. City of San Antonio, “Richard R. Buchanan was suing the city of San Antonio under the Americans with Disabilities Act” (Buchanan). The Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of the public life. The city of San Antonio repeatedly turned down his application to become a police officer. Buchanan was already a patrolman with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department, when he received an injury to his back during a foot chase of a suspect. He claimed that he was fully recovered from his injuries. Buchanan wanted to become a San Antonio
The Laredo Police Department was created in February 9, 1850. Its original name was “City Marshal” but changed during the 20th Century. Before it was created, Laredo had its own Vigilance Committee of citizens. They were like a modern day police officer. Their purpose was to protect the law and tracked down marauders. Today this Vigilance Committee is now known as Laredo Crime Stoppers; a program where citizens get rewarded for providing valid information to the police.
Officially the Memphis Police Department was established in 1827 with the appointment of the town constable John Balch. It was not until after the Civil War where the police force was organized into Wards and Districts. The size of the department at this time was close to one hundred officers. The City Marshall was considered the Chief of Police and was responsible for general care as well as peace within the city. The first African American men that were hired to serve on the Memphis police were part of the Metropolitan force. Their duties were mere as turnkeys at two station houses. In 1932, the City Of Memphis was known as the murder capital of the world with a one hundred and two homicides (Ashmore, n.d.).
The city’s recent increases in murder, rape, and burglary rates convince many citizens of colorado springs that their police force is ineffective. Colorado springs at an elevation of 6,035ft, is a city in Colorado at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado Springs is the second most populous city in Colorado after Denver. As the population increases it becomes necessary to strengthen and increase the Colorado Springs Police Department. Increasing the number of patrolmen and adding more unmarked patrol cars would make our already strong police department even stronger.
Leading up to the establishment of the Chicago Police Department, the first rank of “constable” was created in 1830. Authorization of Chicago’s very own police force occurred on January 31, 1835. On August 15, 1835, the Chicago Police Department was born. The department’s mission reads, “The Chicago Police Department, as part of, and empowered by, the community, is committed to protect the lives, property, and rights of all people, to maintain order, and to enforce the law impartially. We will provide quality police service in partnership with other members of the community. To fulfill our mission, we will strive to attain the highest degree of ethical behavior and professional conduct at all times.” Orsemus Morrison was elected Chicago’s first constable; he was assisted by Constables Luther Nichols and John Shrigley. The three men served and protected a population of about 3,200. In the year 1837, the Municipal Court of Chicago was created. It had co-jurisdiction with the Cook County Court within corporate limits of the city of Chicago. Between the years 1838 and 1854, the Chicago P.D consisted of very few collection of officers, constables, and part-time night watchers to maintain the quickly-expanding city.
Maryland one of greatest states on the eastern coast of the United States is currently experiencing a high demand for police officers. This is especially true in Baltimore one of the largest cities in the state of Maryland and continues to grow. Police officers and law enforcement professionals have to be thoroughly equipped to handle the stress of law enforcement work on a day to day basis. As a result, the state of Maryland has put into place high standards for those interested in working in law enforcement.
Additionally, “Dallas is also home to the 6th largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population in the United States” (world population review, 2016). The current Police Chief, David Brown, may not have the best relationoshipwith the officers he supervises; however, he does have a great deal of support from the community (Dallas News, 2016). Community oriented policing deals with the ore issue for police and the chief that leads them; building a working, trusting relationship with your community. Without this trust, crime reduction is not possible, thus, it is imperative that law enforcement invest time in their communities to build relationships and gain the trust of their communities. Additionally, a positive relationship is necessary to collect valuable intelligence and sustain policing efforts. Even with successful sweeps and arrests, empowered citizens and community leaders are essential to maintain support during difficult times.
Over the last several years, most police departments have been facing numerous financial challenges. The main reason is law enforcement agencies are expected to do more with less and the stagnant economy. The combination of these factors has been placing pressure on many departments to begin imposing budget cuts. Evidence of this can be seen with a survey that was conducted by the University of North Carolina. They found that 67% of police departments made some kind of budget cuts for 2011. The most severe reductions were occurring in large police departments such as Los Angeles, Atlanta and Detroit. (Delfem, 2011, pp. 199 - 205) This is illustrating one of the most pressing issues affecting a wide variety of police departments across the country. To fully understand what is happening requires: examining the situation, how they are able to interact with other agencies (i.e. state / federal) and recommending the way this relationship can be improved. Together, these elements will offer specific insights about how police departments can effectively address this problem.
Becoming a sworn police department member means the person has taken an oath to abide the U.S constitution and are given traditional policing power such as arresting with probable cause. Police officers or detectives are responsible for protecting the lives and property of citizens in the community. Police officers conduct patrol around a geographic area, to maintain omnipresence, deter crime, and apprehending suspects in a crime. Detectives are responsible for solving reported crimes, follow-up investigation of past crimes by a police officer taking a report, and conducting preliminary investigation. To be considered a sworn officer, each state has their own specific requirement and phases to go through. They
In consideration of above my recommendation is that the LAPD need to hire more officers from the community that being policed by the LAPD. The problem is that the LAPD hire many officers that have never lived in the community that they are policing. The LAPD can build a source of potential recruits by developing youth program to build a better relationship with Blacks and other minorities. The LAPD should be more active and get involve with their citizen to foster a change in how they are viewed and hopefully, improve their relationship their constituent.
