Before Ms. Antoinette Frank joined the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) she had a rough childhood. Ms. Frank came from a dysfunction family; her brother was a fugitive and her father was in and out of her life. Ms. Frank childhood dream was to become a police officer. In the year of 1993 Ms. Frank applied for the New Orleans Police Department during the hiring process, she had several major red flags during her process.

Many african americans are being falsely accused of crimes and are being shot for no valid reason. According to mappingpoliceviolence.org, an african american person is three times more likely to be shot by a police officer. Out of the 346 african americans killed by police, 30% were not armed with a weapon and did not need to be shot. Only 3% of 2015 court cases involved a police officer being charged with murdering a citizen. the others who committed the crimes were simply excused of it. A recent story of an unarmed african american being shot by police was on December 31, 2015. On that date in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. Marshals were watching a suspect of a crime, Keith Childress. Keith Childress began to run away from the police officers and when the police officers got to him they shot him down because they assumed he had a weapon.What they thought was a weapon was really Keith Childress’ cell phone. The police officers were not charge for killing unarmed Keith

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.

On June 5th In this video of a McKinney Texas police officer Eric Casebolt you first start off with two cops chasing someone we cannot see. One of the boys recording then gives what seems to be pepper spray and the police officer is very nice. Then we pan to the main culprit in this video. He forcefully tells a young African American teen, “I told you to stay”, he screams and pushes his head down. He then proceeds to everyone yelling, “Get you’re a**es down on the ground.” The officer yells and points a stick or something at the kids telling them to get In the grass. He points to these African American females and tell them to get out of here using vulgar language once again. He cuffs to African American boys and the kids beside them in the video are pleading and begging that he stop and saying they were just here for a birthday

In life everything has contributing factors that helped reach an outcome etc. In the Kansas City Police Department SCORE Unit the officers involved were faced with implicit and explicit influences. In this paper I will discuss what these influences actually are and how their actions may have impacted the officer’s personal lives.

One of the key points was the use of marked police patrols as a deterrent to crime, as well as increasing the number of police patrols. Assuming offenders will think twice and be more knowledgeable in the costs of committing a crime, decreasing the number of offenders wanting to commit a crime.

The cops, the justice system, courts, these things have one thing in common, people and communities look towards these things to keep peace and serve justice the right way. In the last couple of years however, the cops and the justice system have been exposed by the public because of their unjust ways of handling certain situations. There have been many different videos, pictures, and other things that suggest that the police are basing some of the actions that they take based on race. There is a movie that depicts this in a very good way, this movie is a biopic of the death of Oscar Grant, the movie is called Fruitvale Station directed by Ryan Coogler. The most important scene of the movie shows Oscar Grant, portrayed by Michael B Jordan, in a Train station where he is on the train, there is a guy there from another rival gang which picks a fight with him and he throws the first punch at Oscar, Oscar fights back and the cops are called. The cops arrive, and the hostility is on, the cops stop Oscar’s friends and Oscar gets back on the train as he tries to escape, it does not work. The cops

In 1972, the Kansas City Police Department launched an experiment to find out the effectiveness of police patrols in their community. Their Police Foundation tabulated the results of the year-long experiment to find that police patrols were not effective in decreasing crime (Kansas City Preventative Control Experiment, 2014). Fifteen patrol beats participated in the study with the patrols labeled one of three categories: reactive, control, and proactive. The experiment, besides concluding the patrols were not effective in quashing crime, the police department discovered that the public did not even pay attention to the police patrols so the police department surmised that what they did would not harm the general public (Kansas City Preventative

On September 1, 2015 in Fox Lake, Illinois, Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz a “30-year police veteran” (Antlfinger, 2015) of the Lake Fox Police Department was shot and killed by three suspects. According to Deputy Chris Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, Tuesday morning, “around 7:50 a.m., the officer radioed he was pursuing three suspects, after looking into their “suspicious activity””(“ Manhunt In Fox Lake After Police Officer Shot And Killed", 2015). Lt. Gliniewicz had spotted the three suspects on his “way to work along a roadway with nothing around but open fields and abandoned-looking businesses” (Antlfinger, 2015). Lt. Gliniewicz “told dispatchers the men ran into a swampy area, and he requested a second unit”

The Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) is among the most high-profile users of predictive analytics in policing in the United States. After registering a 30% increase in service calls and a corresponding 20% decrease in staff since the year 2000, the department began a six-month predictive policing pilot, which now operates under the name PredPol, in July, 2011. The goal of the pilot was to identify “hot spots” that were more likely to see crime during specified times throughout a day (Goode, 2011, Bachner, 2013).

How about if this guy was “White”. I do not believe that he was arrested nor charged with those allegations. Police ruthlessness occurs for a number of reasons: the most common is racial discrimination against African American and Hispanic. Despite any laws, law enforcement historically struggled with race and gender discrimination. They can be bias and discriminatory. What do you think?

Budgetary responsibilities play a vital role in the future of the Brownwood (Texas) Police Department. The budgeting process for the City of Brownwood is a continual process. Considerable time should be invested in order to create a sustainable budget. There must be adequate research, data analysis, and input among all the “players”, before the budget can be successfully approved.

The Miami Police Department participates in at least 57 different programs around the city that build positive interactions between civilians and law enforcement officers. Some of the programs include Christmas Toy Drives, Coffee with a Cop, D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), Join a Team Not a Gang, RAD (Resisting Aggression Defensively), and STAND (Students Together Against Negative Decisions). These programs allow cops to get more positively involved in the community while keeping the youth out of trouble.

One would think a large metropolitan area like Memphis would have no issues recruiting applicants and small towns such as Atoka would run into roadblocks. However the opposite seems to be happening according to Captain Glasgow (2017) of the Atoka Police department. He stated they receive plenty of highly qualified applicants every year due to the large number of military members living in the community. Therefore recruiting is never an issue for them. However in contrast to Atoka, the Memphis Police Department is continuously searching for quality candidates and this is not just because of the sheer size of the department.
