In the United States, there are city, county, state, and national police forces. They have very difficult and dangerous responsibilities. These public servants are required to perform many different jobs. They enforce laws and maintain order. They teach people how to help prevent crime and to protect themselves ( Mittleman, 2000). They offer assistance and take charge of many different situations such as car accidents, flooding, and hurricanes. Police

Third, officers resolved most events through hospitalization. Subjects rarely were arrested.”(Skeem,J., Bibeau,L.,2008 pg.203) Even though many of the outcomes are strengths, there were some weakness pointed out in this program. One was the events police officers were responding too, such as was the level of crisis as high and or dangerous as they were assumed to be. Two the reporting was done by the officers themselves, the possibility of bias may have occurred.

From the night watch in Boston, to the present day policing, law enforcement has behind in the world of technology. As time rolled through the political era, professional era, and community-oriented era, police patrols would use the rapidly advancing technology in their favor. "Those were desperate times for policemen in a hostile country with unpaved streets and uneven sidewalks, sometimes miles from the police station, with little prospects of assistance in case of need.... It took nerve to be a policeman in those days," this was reported by Chief Francis O 'Neill of the Chicago Police Department in 1903. With only having a printing press and a multiple-shot revolver over a hundred years ago, the advancement in technology today has helped improve the policing methods in patrol quite significantly. However, technology would eventually out-run the police.

The University of California, Riverside, is known for its high crime rate. We constantly get notices and emergency warnings about robberies and kidnappings. As students, we walk in fear at night. Whether we live on campus or near campus, the chances of being mugged or sexually assaulted is always a possibility. When a person is afraid, his or her movements are limited. Thus, the existence of a police department on campus can help expand those limitations as it provides protection.

Yes, this indeed was a legal stop. This was a legal stop because under the stop and frisk exception police can stop a person on the streets and pat them down for illegal objects, so long as they have suspicion. And, during my midnight shift patrol I found it to be suspicious that these two men were behind a closed business. A business in which has been burglarized in the past. I do believe that stop and pat down was justified. I believe the stop was justified because the suspect did not appear to fit the time or place, as it was midnight and the business was closed. A pat down is to stop any further danger towards an officer and other people. A pat down should only be used to detect concealed weapons or contraband. So, I believe

The articles used in this paper explain whether one officer or two officers patrolling is effective in maintaining safety among officers. One officer and two officer patrol cars has been a never-ending debated issue. The reason why it has been highly debated is because some agencies view two officers in a patrol car as less effective or no difference at all than one patrol officer. According to Frank Day (1955), agencies with one officer in a patrol vehicle have reported having signs of success. (p.) The advantages for one officer in a patrol car is that there is less distractions, and they respond faster to calls. In a two officer per car method officers can be distracted by conversations with their

Having officers foot patrolling make residents feel safer and it improves the attitudes they have towards police officers. Bicycle patrolling also make police officers more accessible to the public. This allows police officers to interact more with the public rather than being inside the car and only getting out when they must stop someone or when they are being called to a certain location. This increases trust in the police. When people trust in the police they open up, this will solve more cases and people won’t be afraid to speak out on something that happened in their neighborhood. Body worn cameras will also build community trust and relationships among police officers. Police officers duties is to protect the citizens and it is not to make citizens scared of

In society the police officers roles is to effectively enforce laws, police officers are accountable to arrest offenders when they committed crimes, stop all crime to the best of their ability, keeping the peace as much as possible, and also be able to provide services to neighborhoods citizens when needed. The police officers responsibilities can range from a small task to a much dangerous task, some of the people take the police officers for granted. Without polices officers this world would be no good at all crime would be happen from left to right. As the people of the world and community we need to get more involved with, we have to as whole help them as control the crime and maintain orders they can’t do it all by themselves. I truly feel and know that lessened community policing will

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. Police officers have continued to evolve to serve communities by finding better less than lethal alternatives to weapons used. In addition, police departments have continued to keep up with

The disaster which hit the Maricopa County in the State of Arizona in September 2014 was a major disaster that necessitated the community preparedness for leading successful response and a prompt recovery. Besides emergency managers, many officials and the private are involved in the processes. Some of these stakeholders are public health, public safety, and municipal officials. Collaboration is needed for getting all those involved in the processes to interact accordingly. This paper addresses the major collaboration strengths between emergency responders, public health, public safety, and municipal officials to deliver accurate response and recovery during the event, the main weaknesses of the collaboration among all those that were involved in the efforts, and recommendations for improving the collaboration between the stakeholders.

These teams are used in barricade and hostage situations, suicide intervention, initiate the service of high risk warrants for all Department entities (LAPD). A SWAT team is necessary as it handles situations beyond the capabilities of normally equipped and trained department personal; it is all based on unusual circumstances.

Though I have not observed Detective King's performance in emergency situations, I have been present with Detective King during the service of multiple search warrant and tactical operations involving uncooperative or agitated subjects. Detective King's response is consistently measured and appropriate. Detective King's demeanor in such situations is calm and calculated. I am confident in Detective King's ability to resolve volatile situations successfully with a bare minimum of supervision required.
