Civilian Complaint Review

Law Enforcement officers have one of the most critical jobs in the United States. Their lives are always on the line and they are of high regards. This means they cannot fail! The results of their jobs do not only depend on their actions but also on the people. What this means is the community has a huge role when it comes to solving crime. Though many people may not believe it, they are the key to a successful crime prevention community. The people of the United States don’t really understand both the positive and negative effects that community policing actually brings. Some may say it is very dangerous based on their experiences. Others may say it’s the best way to do away with crime. Today the two will be compared and put to test by true officers serving our country. The facts will be stated and questions will be answered. Let’s take a look at what community policing is really all about!

For consideration as a Lieutenant within the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit, Regional Operations & Intelligence Center. my experience of supervision, dealing with outside vendors and ability to manage complex data systems would make me a good fit for the Intelligence & Analysis Crime Unit. Used by the NJSP and various outside agencies, the Voicebox system is a primary tool of police wiretapping operations. Furthermore, I have managed the entire MAPPS System software, this includes negotiating with outside vendors and writing of waivers each valued at a quarter of a million dollars or more. Having been an assistant unit head since 2011, and in charge of two enlisted and five civilian personnel, my experience in managing personnel is established. My current assignment in the MAPPS/SPU Unit has required a wealth of different skill sets including, editing and writing SOPs, completing MAPPS Supervisory Training Lesson plans, and instructing hundreds of new supervisors.

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).

be particularly influential on police practices. Therefore, police agencies should consider developing a citizen complaint board, which is an

COMES NOW, Defendant, Martin Katz, by and through his attorneys M. David Stallings, Esquire, Bryant S. Green, Esquire, and Niles, Barton & Wilmer, LLP, hereby files this Response in Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion to Dismiss Count 1 of Counter Complaint, and in support thereof states as follows:

The third solution is increasing the scope of common-unity oversight programs. Considering the important role that police officers have in the community, the people should be involved in the decision-making processes that they undertake. By partnering with the local common-unities, police officers will receive better treatment from local common-unities, resulting in the use of less force while they are undertaking their roles. Additionally, civilian review boards should be developed to allow common-unities and law enforcement officers to work together, enhancing transparency in law enforcement activities.

The CCRB is a self-reliant department in New York City, which stands for “Civilian Complaint Review Board.” (Civilian Complaint Review Board, 2014) At times police officers do things they aren’t suppose to, like using violence that can be avoided or some other type of misconduct. There are many complaints about police officers not doing their job right or doing something wrong and that is why the CCRB was created in 1996. Now when there are complaints about police officers misbehaving, the CCRB investigates and examines the situation to confirm whether the complaint was true or false. There are many ways to file a complaint, like going to the CCBR office or go to any police station and you can just call or write a letter. After you file a complaint, you will be called to the office to tell them the situation and what exactly happened. The CCBR staff is fully positioned with civilian employees. (Civilian Complaint Review Board, 2014)

In your grievance filed at Central Unit, you claim COIII Forman refused to provide you staff assistance to help you gather evidence for your pending disciplinary hearing. You are requesting that COIII Forman receive sanctions and retraining on being a Disciplinary Coordinator.

The CCRB is an independent board responsible for conducting complaints that have concerns dealing with: force that is excessive or unnecessary, abuse of authority, discourtesy, and offensive language (Civilian Complaint Review Board). After a two day training course offered at the Police Academy, a ride-along in a police vehicle and general education on firearms and tactics at the New York Police Department (NYPD) outdoor firing range, civilian staff members are then able to conduct investigations while under the supervision of managers with a minimum of eight years of experience (Civilian Complaint Review Board). During the process of investigating a case, an investigator must gather an in-person statement, witness statements, evidence, and police officer interviews. After the investigation is finished, it is then given to a panel of board members that then vote on whether there was misconduct or not (Civilian Complaint Review Board). If it is determined that there was misconduct, the investigation is then sent to a police commissioner that then decides the discipline. In most cases, the commissioner ignores the CCRB’s recommendations and issues lesser to no penalty at all (Editorial Board). Raymond Kelly served as the longest commissioner of the NYPD from 1992 to 1994 and again from 2002 to 2013. Kelly

In your grievance filed at Central Unit, you claim ADC is denying you access to the courts by refusing to provide you with case law. Your resolution is to be provided with case law.

Civilian review boards involve using mediation as a means of complaint resolution. According to Bartels and Silverman’s study (2005), mediations is a process where the complaining party and the law enforcement agency complained against meet in person in order to informally resolve the grievance (Bartels & Silverman, 2005, p.620). The city of Durham, North Carolina has a Civilian Police Review Board that hears complaints submitted by city residents regarding Durham police officers’ actions. The Durham Police Department’s Professional Standards Division will investigate the complaints; when a complainant is not content with the conclusion of the examination, they can file a request for a hearing with the board (Civilian Police Review Board, 2015). Raterman (2001) explains the reasons behind civilian review boards in his article in The Police Department Disciplinary Bulletin. Since the 1970’s, there has been a huge increase in the need for review boards because of public concern of perceived police abuse along with the increase in electronic media. Citizens want the police to have accountability and it is important for law enforcement officials to be involved in this conversation of accountability and review boards (Raterman, 2001). This responsibility builds trust with the community. According to Finn’s text “Citizen Review of Police: Approaches and Implementation” (2001), there are four types of civilian review boards. Type 1: Citizens investigate accusations of misconduct

Upon reviewing the required case study, the facts and concerns of the study are easily recognizable. The first fact is that Chief Walton Eager experience before becoming chief was in the department he currently runs (Cordner, 2016). Also, according to the reading he also apparently possesses some people skills. Next, since receiving the appointment, he posts new policy and procedure on a bulletin board to let his department know about desired guidelines. Additionally, the majority of the officers at the Rixton Police Department use service style policing, and perform ethically and professionally. However, there is a small number of officers that believe in aggressive law enforcement rather than serving the public. Consequently, these set of facts listed in the case study present an enormous amount of problems for the Rixton community.

I did receive a significant amount of records from this patient's PCP, as well as neurology consult in followup and infectious disease notes. In short, he is a 67-year-old right-handed white male who while living in Alaska developed some hip pain, as well as medial right hand numbness. He did have an EMG on 10/2000 that showed ulnar neuropathy with cubital tunnel syndrome on the right. Ulnar nerve transposition was considered, but the patient deferred this. He did have an MRI of the cervical spine, which revealed most significantly C3-4, moderate bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing, C4-5 severe left and moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing, C5-6 severe bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing. He did
