Patrol Officers

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.

I agree that officer safety is tremendously important, unfortunately in today's society it has become more of an issue. Due to the overwhelming media coverage on the use of deadly physical force by police officers, officer safety has decreased. Law enforcement is constantly scrutinized by the media anytime an incident occurs, no mater how severe. Overall the public has to demonstrate more respect towards law enforcement, and law enforcement officers have to do the same toward the public.

Police officers have played a major role in society by protecting us from crime. Their responsibilities include not only preserving the peace, preventing criminal acts, enforcing the law, investigating crimes, and arresting those who violate the law but also directing traffic, community relations work, and controlling crowds at public events.

I believe preventive patrol is effective because of the deterrence theory. People who plan to commit a crime do not want to get caught. I also think that some people will probably get nervous if a police officer keeps passing by when they plan to commit a crime and might wonder if the police noticed them. However, cop cars pass by in seconds, so I am glad other methods of patrol are being used like foot patrol, bicycle patrol, and mounted patrol. Even if preventive patrols weren’t effective, they still make a presence in the community, which is important. Making a presence could familiarize a neighborhood with a police officer. For example, the first day my son learned how to unlock the front door, he did so when i was showering. He went outside

Some people think assigning officers to communities can be rewarding and some people think it is a form of punishment. Whatever the case may be, people need some form of protection. Crime is very real. Today’s violence seems to go far past those standard reasons. As humans, people tend to overlook or forget who are there to protect the society from disorderly people. The good order of a community is important to those who lived and worked in the community. In other words, the little things matter to a person in his or her community. There will always be a person who cares and will take charge in the community.

Police Officer, also commonly known as policewoman, police agent, or police employee is a warranted law employee of a police force by definition. Their main duties are to protect and serve the United States. They keep their streets safe and enforce the rules to keep our country under control. Police officers work under a department or a city. The ranks that police officers can be very between places. In a city the ranks can be; Chief of Police, Deputy or assistant chief, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Commander, Major, Captain, Lieutenant, inspector, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant, Corporal, Master police officer, police officer, Trooper, Detective, Recruit, Cadet, Trainee, or Probationary officer. Frank's can be skipped or emitted and structure is often determined by individual municipalities. State and local law enforcement agencies employed more than 1.1 million people on a full-time basis including about 765,000 sworn personnel back in 2008. In 1838 the city of Boston established the first American Police Force followed by New York City and 1845 Albany New York and Chicago in 1851.

The law should be applied impartially by criminal justice professionals with no discrimination or prejudice.

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

Within the California Highway Patrol there are many different factors that affect a person's work performance. Motivation or lack of motivation is one way that employee's work performance can be affected. Emotions and moods of the employee can also have a short-term affect on their work performance. It is incumbent for supervisors and managers within the CHP to recognize when they have an employee whose work performance is affected by one of these issues and address them appropriately. The purpose of this discussion board is to provide a response to discussion board Forum 2.

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

Police patrol is when law enforcement is assigned a specific area to monitor. In communities it is important for police to patrol because that is where they find drug related incidences, pedestrian stops and traffic violations. To improve the overall effectiveness of police patrol I believe they should have better communication and better funding so they can hire back those officials they laid of because of cutbacks.

In society the police officers roles is to effectively enforce laws, police officers are accountable to arrest offenders when they committed crimes, stop all crime to the best of their ability, keeping the peace as much as possible, and also be able to provide services to neighborhoods citizens when needed. The police officers responsibilities can range from a small task to a much dangerous task, some of the people take the police officers for granted. Without polices officers this world would be no good at all crime would be happen from left to right. As the people of the world and community we need to get more involved with, we have to as whole help them as control the crime and maintain orders they can’t do it all by themselves. I truly feel and know that lessened community policing will

The psychologist serves a great purpose in the law enforcement as well. The police psychologists provide services that are used to counter police use of excessive force. The psychologists are there to characterize the types of officers who are known to abuse force and to recommend psychology-based intervention that could help police managers reduce cases of excessive force. Some think that the police departments should rely mostly on pre employment screening to identify violence-prone candidates.

Patrol accounts for the biggest portion of police work in most police agencies. The terms “patrolling” and ”on patrol” generally refer to what officers do while not handling calls for service—officers do this mostly in patrol cars, but sometimes on foot, on bicycles, on horseback, or the like. While on patrol, officers may look for traffic violations, suspicious behavior, disorder, and unsafe conditions. They may also look for opportunities to interact with the public in casual or more formal situations. This is all considered patrolling.

While conducting patrol, whether it may be foot or mobile, offices will have firsthand involvement in crimes that could be connected to much bigger cases other agencies will be interested in. Compared to traditional policing which was being dealt with after the fact, this modern initiative will allow officers to solve crimes much more effective. In early times policing was focused more on responding to crime when it has occurred but with this modern approach, all aspect of the mission of law enforcement agencies will be incorporated in the function policing. The traditional way of policing was more based on every man for himself way of thinking but this modern aspect will be displayed as one team and one fight.
