Officer That Went Above And Beyond

As of today police officers are under constant scrutiny because of the way some officers might handle a situation under a moment of distress. Furthermore, because of one officer the public assumes that every officer acts this way when in fact they do not. To sum it all up a police officer once told me that people do not hate you the individual they hate the badge. This hate can grow from a simple ticket and individual gets for speeding. Nonetheless, officers must remain calm, respectful, and willing to put their lives on the life in the face of those who hate them. They do this every day and they take pride in the fact they get to save lives.

An examination of the patrol officer’s jobs and duties took place. The gathering of information and interviewing a seasoned patrol offer assisted in this examination. The city in which the patrol officer works is also studied. Research of the city of Hueytown’s population and history helped to understand the demographics and crime within the city. While Hueytown’s violent crimes are low, thefts and burglaries rank the highest. Communities, including the city of Hueytown, place patrol officers on the streets in order to protect and serve. Officer Louis Phillips, Jr. gave an interview that takes an in depth look at his journey as a patrol officer.

My first interviewee officers jack Davidson, patrolman from Somers point police department. When interviewing Patrolman Davidson, I found the following to be his impressions of the police force in general. Officer Davidson spoke of why ethics and character are important in the field of law enforcement. His response was that ethics and character go hand in hand. In law enforcement it seems that there are so many reasons to do the right thing. The reasons began with public opinion and also should include their influence on the youth who will be growing up to be citizens of the city, state, or country. If a police officer does not behave with

Police have many roles to take on an everyday basis. The main goal for an officer is to keep criminals off the streets and to try and maintain a safe environment for people to live. Many people disagree with some of the decisions officers make to enforce these rules and causes a lot of controversy. Today many people don't respect our police officers because of actions made by others. A major issue today is police use of force, stop and frisk.

I always knew that I wanted to become a police officer, so I decided to interview a Police Captain. I interviewed Police Captain John Carpenter of Riverside Police Department. I found him through Riverside Police Department after looking around at the organizational chart I found online and looking at the titles that were on the chart. The Police Captain is one rank above a Lieutenant, but one below a Deputy Chief. A Police Captain is in charge of a certain precinct, and normally has his/her own division. Captain Carpenter is currently in charge of investigations, such as gangs, narcotics, vice, and intelligence units.

When one thinks of a cop. What should come to mind is “hero.” But nowadays cops are seen as people you want to stay away from. In the past, they were publicly displayed as heroes on television shows and parents, as well as children, knew the names of the officers patrolling their neighborhoods. However, times have certainly changed because police departments have increased the size of their force and tactics have switched and have become less about protect and serve, and more of a militaristic approach. Police officers have abused their power for too long because they have access to so many different types of weapons and there’s been so many cases involving police brutality that it needs to come to an end and they need to be held accountable for what they’ve done.

• Integrity: each police officer is presumed to do the right thing, at all times, regardless of the matter at hand, those involved and any other influences. Officers are held to a higher lever of integrity and expected to perform above all else, at all times (Baker, 2011).

Officer Brian Encinia stopped Sandra Bland on the afternoon of July 10, 2015, on University Drive in Prairie View, Texas, for failure to signal a lane change.

I understand police officers everywhere have their own lives on the line, every time they suit up to protect and enforce the law amongst the population. I do appreciate the risk they do to keep us safe from absolute

Bald head. Wide smile. Also, a good heart, that's just Officer Amos Pierre, my mentor. With great power comes great responsibility, and Officer Pierre took on that role accordingly. He possesses all of the attributes a leader should have. He is understanding, he has integrity, and honor. Nothing else can compare to the impact Officer Pierre had on my life.14 years-old, and not knowing what to expect out of high school - I joined a series of clubs, one being Police Explorers. The first time I met Officer Pierre, I was like 'wow this guy has a lemon head', his head was/is so bald. Anyway, the first of his countless lectures, stuck with me to this day: "Never miss out on an opportunity, regardless if it's big or small. Because the last thing you want to do is live a life filled with 'what ifs'..." This is true because no one wants to miss out on an opportunity that can open great doors. Officer Pierre is a man of great honor, and integrity. He abides by the laws he enforces, and he encourage others to do so as well. One time I was talking to an officer, and he basically introduced me to the term "creative writing" in report writing, and I mentioned it to Pierre. I regretted that so dearly. Pierre gave me a whole speech on why I, should never lie on a report, as an officer. and what would happen if I did. He told me that doing sneaky stuff now, will lead to me doing shady

Police officers continue to put their lives on the line to protect others. They don’t even know you and everyday they wake up, put on their uniforms, and set out to do whatever it takes to keep you safe. It is not their fault you or someone you know broke the law and got a ticket or was arrested – it's your own fault; you chose to break the law, that police officer was only doing his job. "Police officers take risks and suffer inconveniences to protect the lives, defend civil liberties, secure the safety of fellow citizens, and they endure such risks and tolerate such inconveniences on behalf of strangers."

This is an example that I had to share, about respectable, compassionate, and caring community members that happen to be police officer who do their job the right way, thank you to those people and especially the one who were on duty for the Urban Dreams’ Dream Chasers community

Police officers are required to maintain law and are bound by law themselves. Police functions are about the objective of the police; not what they do. Police provide assistance to the public 24 hours a day 7 days a week. For most people, just knowing that there are police officers driving or walking around it usually makes them feel more secure. Police officers tend to be a positive role model.

Police officers often come to mind when people think about heroes. However, the heroes are not always visible to us. Officers often wear regular clothes in order to trick people who have been caught performing criminal acts. Police officers can do a lot more than just catch the bad guys. Two officers were off-duty when they noticed a mother running frantically down the street.

Imagine you are driving down the highway with your family. You’re listening to music, everybody’s smiling and laughing. Then they’re not. Nobody’s laughing or smiling because they’re dead. You were hit by a drunk driver. Now imagine something else. Imagine you’re driving down the highway again. Same night, same highway, laughs, smiles, and all. Then you arrive home safely. If everything’s the same, then what caused the different outcomes? In the second scenario, the drunk driver was pulled over. A police officer just saved your life and you didn’t even know it. Law enforcement officers are always working, preventing bad situations, and keeping people safe without so much as a “thank you”. Many police officers are humble heroes, stopping
