Pensacola Police Department: A Short Story

Police brutality in the U.S. has been a phenomenon that has caught international attention in the last few years. As defined in thelawdictionary.org, police brutality is “the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians.” In many cases, civilians that were law-abiding and even unarmed were victims of police using unjustifiable force upon them. While independent organizations and activists have tried to eradicate this unacceptable behavior and phenomenon through protests and demonstrations, their efforts have not been enough. If law enforcement agencies, such as local police departments, educate their employees on the right and wrong ways to behave on the streets with civilians, the root cause of the problem will be addressed.

An integral training of today’s police officers duties is the physical skill of the application of use of force. This is needed skill requirement to detain and arrest a person who has committed a crime and resisting. Police officers must be trained to use force properly when the skill is required on a subject who is resisting police officers efforts to place them under arrest. This skill has the potential for the officer to exceed the needed amount of force to place them under arrest that can lead to civil suits alleging the officer use of excessive force. Police use of force is a controversial topic with not only the community as well as leadership in the department. Concerns about excessive and unnecessary uses of force continue to require the researcher to locate what indicators police officers react to when the application of using force or threaten to use force.

Prior to the creation of the formal police academy, officers were taught using various methods that were not always effective or conducive to the work required of an officer. As a result, ill-equipped officers flooded the streets of nineteenth-century America, often unable to perform the primary duty of their job: protecting the public. The United States, inspired by England and other countries with better-developed public safety systems, desperately needed a method of ensuring safety for its people. The creation and evolution of the police academy defined what being a police officer entailed by teaching officers what is expected of them, not only job-requirement wise, but also morally and ethically.

Matters started to take a turn when I got a little older. I talked to my mom much more and we started growing closer together and forming a real mother, daughter relationship. She started to rid her old habits and take on new better ones. She had been clean from meth for a couple years now, and things were going well. Little did we know she still had a warrant out for her arrest. One night she was leaving my dad’s house and the cops were right around the corner. As she turned the corner they flipped on their lights and asked for her name. After she gave them her name they looked it up and had a warrant out for her arrest. She was then taken into custody at the Jackson County jail.

I got up walked upstairs to wait for Trish to pick me up and bring me to school. This day I was sad because It has been almost a week since they taken me. The school dismissed me and I saw my whole family outside. I got so happy they had told me I have to stay with my dad until my mom got custody of me. It was about four days with me staying with my dad. My mom finally got custody of me. I was back to a happy home with my mom, my step dad and my little sister. Later that evening my mom showed me the email that she sent to the supervisor. After reading the e-mail.

Nana went to jail for child abuse for about three months before she was released to BHC in Idaho Falls, because the doctor deemed her mentally unstable. Within six months of the occasion, she was back at home. Health and welfare put me with a foster parent named Gina Mercer, who lives in Milo, Idaho. We had a very good relationship right up until Christmas in 2010. We had been sledding at Community Park in Idaho Falls, and it was time to go. She told me that I couldn’t go down the hill again so anger welled up inside me. At the back of the Durango, with my sled in the back, and Gina in front of me trying to calm me down, I kicked her in the shin. This lady came over and she was on her phone with the police. Then when the police showed up, they put me in handcuffs, in the back of the cruiser. Gina was then spoken to by the officer. All that was heard from me was crying and then “don’t take me to detention.” The police officer calmed me down and said that he wasn’t going to take me to jail; he said there was this place called the Gustafson House. I went, because there was no other choice besides

The law enforcement officers who protect and serve the local communities have and live stressful lives. How stressful is the occupation of a law enforcement officer in their job and in their personal lives than other occupations? How hard would it be to be a spouse or loved one of a law enforcement officer? Does the public know what goes on in a law enforcement officer's job life and the life of their family? Could the average person handle the daily stress that takes place in the lives of law enforcement officers? These are several questions that individuals could ask themselves on any given day. What are the answers to these questions? I know firsthand, because I am a wife of a law

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.
