People from every walk of life, race and culture experience these situations. People within the criminal justice profession protect these individuals and help them find a way out of the environment they are in.

Although, it may seem the FBI knows about the majority of criminalistics situations; they have been doing this job for many years and many years to come. John continues, “The FBI originated from a force of special agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt (2).” This organization has been serving justice since the Roosevelt years in the early 1900’s. Everything the FBI is capable of, could not be demonstrated with perfection if it was not for their structure. This structure consists of being part of the U.S. Department of Justice, which is headed by the United States Attorney General. The authority they are granted are to enforce the law on a federal level (Sections 533 and 534, Title 28 of the U.S. Code).

From the approval of President Roosevelt to establish the beginning of the FBI,

It is widely known that police officers are given a substantial amount of latitude concerning vehicular searches while on patrol. Many officers make it a habit to ask citizens they pull over if it 's okay to search their cars, while others will only ask if they have reason to believe that a suspect is hiding something. Either way, what should you do if the police search your car without your permission, and without first obtaining a search warrant? Most people know that police officers need one of three things to search your car: permission, probable cause or a warrant. Unfortunately, an officer will obtain one of those three things if he is determined to execute a search, even if there is a possibility that it will later be thrown out in court. If permission is denied and they don 't have sufficient evidence for a warrant, just about anything can be used for probable cause. For example, let 's say that you 're pulled over for speeding, and when the police officer takes your license and registration, he notices that your eyes are red. This is a common side effect of marijuana use (and about a thousand other things), but he might decide that he wants to search your car, so he asks permission. If you don 't give it, but there is a large jacket tossed over the passenger seat of the car, he can use that jacket and your red eyes to generate probable cause. After all, you might be concealing an ounce of marijuana underneath the jacket, and he would have to search your car if he

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the local insight and security administration of the United States, which all the while serves as the country 's prime government law implementation organization.

I have had many encounters with the police here in Texas, and around the country. I have experienced encounters with police in other countries as well. Some positive, and some negative. Even in situations where I thought I was right, every encounter ended with a positive outcome because I took control of the situation. I disarmed the officer with the utmost respect, therefore by putting the officer at ease. From the initial contact, I showed I was no threat. I’ve worked in corrections for over 7 years in another state, and I know the level of commitment officers have with one another. My point here is that I have experienced this issue from both sides of the blue line. I have encountered law enforcement only three times in Texas to date. My

Jessie, I really enjoyed your post as I have been a police officer for 18 years and it directly relates to my job. Yes, police departments across the country must strive to make their departments more diverse, especially with the rising Hispanic population. One main hindrance to this goal is the fact that many cities are doing away with pension programs and starting hybrid or 401K retirement plans. At my agency, the Knoxville Police Department, we are having problems getting any race to apply because of the new hybrid system. I would recommend offering ride-a-long and cadet programs to attract more minorities to the field. As far as keeping arrest numbers equal to the makeup of the population, there is no way to make this happen

In larger American cities, discrimination lawsuits in the criminal justice system are more common. The rights of the public employee as well as a criminal justice employee are guaranteed by law. These rights directly impact the supervision and evaluation of employees.

Most employee rights come from specific pieces of legislation design to address a specific concern.

The principle role of police organizations is to uphold and enforce the law. Police organizations achieve this by safeguarding life and property, maintaining public order, and through detecting and preventing crime. Policing at the state level is composed of separate police organizations. At the state level we have the City or Local Police, County Sheriff and State Police, also known as Highway Patrol or State Troopers. The U.S. government gives each state the authority to self-govern so each state has its own Penal Codes and every state policing organization follows its own Penal Code. Policing at the Federal level is composed of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Federal policing agencies oversee all federal laws.

Police officers clearly face consequences for not making enough arrests, but they also have indirect financial incentives to make arrests, such as potential promotions. Police officers don’t get more direct incentives, such as commissions, from making an arrest, but if an arrest occurs towards the end of their shift they can get overtime pay. That case can also lead to more overtime pay if their court appearance is scheduled at an off duty hour. Consequently, one officer told The Nation about how the police radio is often silent for periods of time until minutes before their shifts change. Numerous petty arrests are then heard over the scanners. Some officers even list other officers as witnesses who had little or nothing to do with the
