In the past, as a move to try and improve these police—community relations, police departments all over the country implemented citizen police academies, or CPAs. These were initially implemented during the beginning of the community-oriented policing era, and the first department in the US to have one was the Orlando Police Department in 1985 (Lee, 2016). Since then, CPAs popularity has grown nationally, and police departments all over the county have them. Somewhere between 15 and 20 percent of agencies have CPAs, and they are far more common among those who serve larger, metropolitan areas (Lee, 2016). CPAs teach participants the details of the various functions of the police, including law, patrol techniques, use of force, self-defense, firearms, SWAT, and crime prevention (Brewster, Stoloff, & Sanders, 2005). These CPAs have the

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the third largest police agency in the United States. The LAPD has approximately 9885 sworn officers and 2718 support staff. They cover approximately 500 square miles and is for the protection of over 4 million people. With that in mind, managing such a behemoth agency is a complicated and problematic endeavor. Therefore, one of the LAPD strengths is the way they manage themselves and protect citizens. Another strength of the LAPD is created many various kinds of investigation divisions, bureaus unit and special operation units. The components allow the LAPD to address a different kind of crimes, services, and investigation. Some of these components are specialized units with members that specially trained to for the unit's purpose or the specific type of crime or investigation.

The LAPD also has a support unit to manage the day to day operation such as the personal division, jail division, property division and administrative section to manage massive bureaucratic tasks.

How many police officers do we need? That is a question that really has no right answer. The level of police service you require determines the number of police officers you need. If your community wants a priority one response in a timely manner, the officer will respond within 4 minutes. Your community will need to employ more officers than a community that is willing to wait seven or eight minutes for officers to respond. Some communities may want four hours of active patrol per shift, while other require only two hours per shift. Extensive traffic enforcement is important to some communities while some like the high visibility of police presence. It is not a set rule. However, most cities like to have at least one
Police Agencies in modern society are a part of the American fabric to serve and protect the American public. The United States currently have more than 15,000 police agencies, (Walker & Katz, 2011). Police Departments across the United States face similar critical issues policing. All police officers face dangers in the job of policing the dangers can emanate from internal and external origins.

There are multiple approaches to engaging a police force with the community in order to most effectively prevent and respond to crime, and considering the relative strengths and weakness of each of these strategic models will demonstrate how models can impact the operation of daily policing practices and activities. The model under discussion here is called community oriented policing (COP), and focuses on building relationships and rapport between officers and the community in order to more effectively prevent crime. It is augmented by a model called problem solving policing (PSP), and depends upon rank-and-file officers identifying community problem areas through direct observation and analysis. Each model excels at slightly different things, and in practice most police agencies deploy a mix of models. By examining the Miami-Dade Police Department's handbook for school resource officers, it will be possible to view a COP/PSP policy in action in order to better understand how these models practically affect policing.

Lamb to the Slaughter, by Roald Dahl, is a classic tale of suspense, tension and dramatic irony. In the novel, on page 2, it says, “This is going to be a big shock to you, I’m afraid,’ he said. ‘But I’ve thought about it a good deal, and I’ve decided that the only thing to do is to tell you immediately.’ And he told her. It didn’t take long, four or five minutes at most, and she sat still through it all, watching him with puzzled horror.” This quote is a good example of how the novel builds suspense and tension because the readers do not know what the character, Patrick, told his wife, Mary. Before this scene, Patrick was acting different, like something was wrong. The news he gives his wife upsets her so much that she murders him with a leg of lamb. The author leaving us barely any knowledge of why Mary killed Patrick adds a lot of suspense and tension for the
In the United States there are several different types of police officers, but the focus of this essay will be on local, state, and federal police officers. Local officers are those who are officers of a town, city, or county as per our text book, An Introduction to Policing. State police are those who enforce the laws of the entire state, like State Troopers. Federal police are those who have national power to enforce the laws of the nation. Although the State and Federal police forces would seem be much bigger or important, their roles are small in comparison to that of the local agencies. Here, we will compare the different agency’s patrols, duties, jurisdictions, and how much each agency works with the others. (Dempsey & Forst, 2016)
