Being a police explorer is challenging, but I think the worst would be police Academy. Police Academy is a one week program in UC San Diego where Real Drill Instructors try to break you down mentally and physically. We would get up at 5 in the morning by the Drill Instructors thunderous voice. The first day was so physically hard that I almost cried. (We didn't have access to our phones). I wondered if I was going to make it the next day. However, that night I came to a decision, I will make it no matter what. One of the days in Academy however, was really bad when the drill instructors put tear gas into a house and we had to go through it. The house was a maze so it was harder and the harder you breathe the more gas will go into your lungs.

Concepts like crime prevention, authority, professionalism and discretion have evolved in modern law enforcement since the twentieth century. August Vollmer instituted university training as a tool for young officers in training and under Vollmer’s teachings; O.W. Wilson pioneered the use of advanced training for officers and is also known for the start of criminal justice as an academic field. Wilson was also instrumental in applying modern management and administrative techniques to policing. Vollmer’s drive for educational innovations and improvements has changed policing tremendously and is still practiced heavily upon in today’s modern law enforcement society.

The police must be stable, efficient, and organized along military lines (Bohm & Haley, 2012). Officers must be professional in everything that they do.

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!

As the leader of the criminal justice honor society at ASU, I have created partnerships with volunteer organizations such as the 100 Club of AZ, and have continued partnerships with Free Arts of Arizona, the Rearley Foundation, and Release the Fear. As the leader of the school organization, I have been able to engage in volunteer actives that have raised awareness about abused children and families in need. I have also implemented a provisional membership program within our organization to promote academic successes with freshman through mentorships, counseling, and tutoring. I have contributed an average of 20 hours per week to the honor society. I have also created a mentorship program with the Mesa Police Department that allows students to engage with the department to prepare them for career opportunities. I have set up events at ASU with the ASU Police Department, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and Maricopa County Office of Public Defender to bring more resources to students. I have a high belief in doing the very best you can. I have seen many students who think they are unable to be as successful as other and I have attempted to mentor those students to help them understand their full potential. I personally never thought I would ever attend a university or pass classes with a high GPA. However, I have learned that we are only limited by ourselves, and all of us are capable of

The benefits of the ethical seminar training for officers will help the community in various ways. For example, law enforcement officers should conduct themselves with integrity because they come in contact with community people on a day-to-day basis and this way the community will assist and participate in programs that the law enforcement carrying out to the community.. They should uphold the law, to the highest standards while serving in an official capacity, otherwise the public we not have trust any law enforcement personnel. If the community sees that they have standards then, the police officers will be respected and the community will feel safe to have honorable police officers serving the community. On the other hand, if the criminal justice professional

The ASU Criminal Justice Honor Society, Alpha Phi Sigma holds many of the same core values as law enforcement including serving and giving back to the community.

The profession of policing derives its effectiveness from its ability to attract and employ quality individuals who will strive to better their community.

If there was a national certification program that certified police agencies to have a regulatory compliance certification and training in the use of force in the United States, it would minimize the number of cases of or deter the use of excessive force in America. This is demonstrated by the progress made various police agencies across about minimizing and deterring excessive use of force by their officers. The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) and the New York Police Department (NYPD) are examples of police departments which have registered significant progress after taking measures to minimize or deter the excessive use of force.

With application fees ranging from $8,475 for agencies of 1-24 to $19,950 for agencies of 1000 or more and annual continuation fees ranging from $3,470 to $5,765 respectively (Law Enforcement Accreditation, n.d.) and in addition to the cost to the agency in man-hours to complete the process, taking from 12 to 18 months, it is clear to see why many agencies may call into question the professional benefits of such an organization. As a result, some states have devised accreditation standards of their own in an effort to be more cost effective for smaller agencies and specific to the needs of those agencies (Doerner,

While the Reform Era worked to professionalize police, as society became more complex, so did the role of the police officer. The Community Policing Era was developed as a result of the need to develop cooperation and positive relationships between the police and public. What developed out of this era was an essential element of community policing – public accountability. Police officers became accountable to their supervisors who in turn became accountable to the community. Accountability can be seen as an honest evaluation of achievement based on clearly defined objectives. Many of these objectives are defined by complex community and social problems; as such police officers require the capacity and flexibility to work on them in a variety of styles and employing a variety of strategies.

Law enforcement like much of the economy and society has had to adapt to the rapidly changing Atmosphere of the technological advances. To counter these advances, education has served in the forefront to combating the technological sophistication that is rapidly sweeping the workforce.

Small town Holdrege, Nebraska is where I decided to look a little further into law enforcement on the State level. There are quite a few State Troopers in this area, or it seems to be that way anyways. I contacted Sargent John Wagner for an interview. I have to say these men/women in uniform are slightly intimidating. I’m not sure if it is the uniform, or the fact I grew up thinking these officers of the law are just that scary. I guess we shall see once we begin the interview.
