NOPD Organizational Behavior

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

The “Law and Disorder” documentary gives us a few situations with the NOPD subsistent conflict with the system process. The documentary takes place in the year 2005 when Hurricane Katrina afflicted the city of New Orleans. A disturbing video taken by Istavan Balogh, he came across a burnt car with a body in it (Henry Glover) on the side of the highway. He said that “It didn’t seem like anyone cared about the burnt car with a body in it”. When he reported it to authorizes, he said “they just brushed it off to the side and keep focusing on other things”. This would be an example of the Broken Windows Theory, police were worried about other crimes seeing the amount of crimes going on. Due to the fact that there remained a lack of social control between law enforcement and the community. From an outsider looking in on the situation, New Orleans was in a disarray. Balogh at this moment helped to community by

There are cases in which police officers are found dealing drugs such as bhang or methamphetamines or officers end up shooting mentally ill people they have been called to help restrain. In the latter, case proper training on how to

To begin, I shall summarize the major issue regarding the case study shown on page 103, in the 7th edition book Titled, Effective Police Supervision, written by Harry More and Larry Miller in 2015. Sergeant Lou Maynard recently got promoted to the evening supervisor for the Craigview Police Department. Six months had then passed. While leading his team, Maynard came to the realization that two of his officers did not seem motivated as the rest of them were. The other officers, that were doing their jobs, started to complain about the two non-motivated officers. They began stating that the two officers did not their carry their weight when it came to the team. The two officers are noticed working as if they do not wish to be there and are just waiting to retire in the next year. They have even distanced themselves when it comes to socializing with fellow officers on duty and off.

We urge that the leadership of the LAPD go beyond rhetoric in carrying out its existing policies against excessive force. From the Chief of Police down to the sergeants, this means taking a firm stand against the "bad guys" on the force and employing all the instruments available training, discipline, assignments, and promotion... We recommend a new standard of accountability (1991, xiii-xiv)

Naraidu ascended to the NYPD in 1990, an organization he distinguishes as “very structural with lots of history where policing was nothing new and no days were alike.” The institutional weight molded his conscientious bold charisma, “people looked up to you being part of such a prestigious organization, it raised the challenge for my lifestyle.”

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

Recently the US Department of Justice revealed its findings following a request by current Baltimore City Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, in light of the Freddie Gray incident. According to the Baltimore Sun, the results detail gross violations of the civil rights of Baltimore City residents by the Baltimore Police Department. The probe also indicated numerous unethical policing practices by the Baltimore Police Department that was targeted at specific city demographics.

The theory used in this study will center on if law enforcement agencies regularly train and practice non-lethal means will have lower cases of excessive force within their organization. Law enforcement officers are authorized to use force when necessary, but when the level of force is excessive, however, the actions of the police come under scrutiny. The resulting effects can include; public outrage, scandal, negative reputation for not only the officer but the law enforcement community.

Government intervention was needed, and an investigation had to be started. Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, in a press release, focusing on the findings of the investigation, stated: “Our findings show that the problems facing the NOPD are wide ranging, systemic, and deeply rooted in the culture of the Department” (The United States Department of Justice, 2011). A sustainable reform was needed.

The NOPD documentary just shows that the criminal Justice field is still improving and is not one hundred percent perfect. The documentary takes us to the year 2005 when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. In the documentary is a video was show taken by Istavan Balogh had when he came across a burnt car with a body in it. He said that “It didn’t seem like anyone cared about the burnt car, to check and see what was going on” this would be an example of the Broken Windows Theory because, everyone is worried about surviving. Everywhere looked according to the video it was destroyed and it looked like no one cared at the time. From an outsider looking in on the situation New Orleans was a mess because of the situation that just accrued but you cannot

The NYPD is an avenue for reaching out to the community and ensuring that the community has law and order at the forefront. The goal of the whole concept of a police department is to ensure that the criminal activities are at low levels if not completely wiped out.

The excessive use of force in policing is not a new issue within the criminal justice system. Since the mid-1980 's criminal justice professionals and government leaders have been searching for solutions to the problem, exploring different causes and potential solutions. This issue has not yet been solved for many arguable reasons, but one of the most likely ones is that many police agencies have not yet begun to take accountability for their officers’ actions or revise their policies and programs to reduce the occurrences of those actions. Many criminal justice agencies have failed to properly monitor, track, and respond to incidents of excessive force. Police Chief Magazine reported that “the White House…invited U.S. law enforcement agencies to voluntarily participate in more robust data collection and reporting of use of force, but, as of April 2016, only 53 jurisdictions had signed up to participate… (Harris, n.d.).” This issue, which has become magnified, instead of resolved, will continue to plague the criminal justice system until all criminal justice agencies commit to finding a solution, committing to make the necessary changes to fix their agencies, hold each officer accountable for their use of excessive force, and hold their own agencies themselves accountable for how each situation is dealt with.

The composition of their law enforcement agencies is very different from that of the United States although they provide similar duties of order maintenance. In a national emergency or major disaster, the National Police Agency is authorized to take command of police forces to control order maintenance. The National Police Agency is composed of over 1,100 national civil servants, authorized to collect information and incorporate execute national policies. The agency is actually composed of a commissioner general (Chief). The central office is composed of the Secretariat which has divisions for planning, general operations, information, finance, management, and procurement and distribution of police equipment, and at least five bureaus. The Administration Bureau focuses on police personnel, their education, welfare and training. Their Criminal Investigation Bureau is focused on research statistics and the investigations of nationally and international important cases. The bureau's Safety Department focuses on crime prevention, juvenile delinquency, and pollution control. The Criminal Investigation Bureau also recommends regulations on firearms, explosives, food, drugs, and narcotics. In Japan their local police system is called the Koban system and it provides local residents with order maintenance on safety and peace through

This document was written in response to a citizen who had made a complaint stating that a Police Officer had run a red light. This report was directed to the Major over Patrol Operations. I had originally found no issue with the officers’ actions. However, I was directed to recommend an Employee Counseling Form. Due to this, the report my not “flow” in the direction of any corrected action being given. This report may have taken two to three hours of actual typing. The obtaining of information for the report required additional time.
