Police Abbreviations

A Field Training Officer (FTO), Rutledge (Author), is on patrol with a patrol officer. He has to type his first police report and is not doing a good job. His officer was disappointed at what he had read in his report; he’s going to show the rookie how it’s done. The officer’s report was not only 50% longer, but full of jargon. The rookie cop stated, “Why do we write like that?” “Because that’s the way we’ve always done it,” replied the officer. After years of being a cop and writing real police reports, Rutledge became a prosecutor. After numerous trails, Rutledge was still boggled at the way police reports were written. So he decided to ask

That is the reason why whey the topic of police subculture comes up to an officer. It should be explained to them in great detail how and when to use those subcultures. Which one subculture is common sense, but some officers seem to not use that because of the authority they have at that

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the third largest police agency in the United States. The LAPD has approximately 9885 sworn officers and 2718 support staff. They cover approximately 500 square miles and is for the protection of over 4 million people. With that in mind, managing such a behemoth agency is a complicated and problematic endeavor. Therefore, one of the LAPD strengths is the way they manage themselves and protect citizens. Another strength of the LAPD is created many various kinds of investigation divisions, bureaus unit and special operation units. The components allow the LAPD to address a different kind of crimes, services, and investigation. Some of these components are specialized units with members that specially trained to for the unit's purpose or the specific type of crime or investigation. For an example, they have counter-terrorism bureau, background investigation unit, commercial crime division, gang and narcotic division, juvenile division, robbery homicide division and also technical investigation division. The LAPD also addresses the needs of the community by setting up many stations to handle the needs of their constituents. The LAPD also has a support unit to manage the day to day operation such as the personal division, jail division, property division and administrative section to manage massive bureaucratic tasks.

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.

Starting In 1829, Sir Robert Peel began developing his theory of policing. These nine principles are as relevant today as they were in the 1800's. Peel established the Metropolitan Police when he served as Home Secretary of England. Since Sir Robert Peel introduced his principles of policing in the early 1800's, our country has continued to follow his ideas of effective policing. Community policing is based on Peel's concept of prevention.

When it comes to police officer disciplinary actions, the lines becomes thin and more difficult to read between. It is not such a black and white situation and when it comes to properly disciplining a police officer it can become difficult to do so especially when that officer has either been on the force a long time so there is an established relationship, or the inappropriate act they committed happened just once and they claim it will never happen again. These types of things make it much harder to decide what the right discipline may be for that officer.

The University of California, Riverside, is known for its high crime rate. We constantly get notices and emergency warnings about robberies and kidnappings. As students, we walk in fear at night. Whether we live on campus or near campus, the chances of being mugged or sexually assaulted is always a possibility. When a person is afraid, his or her movements are limited. Thus, the existence of a police department on campus can help expand those limitations as it provides protection.

Among police, there are stark differences between male and female officers. Cara E. Rabe-Hemp researched these sex differences by conducting a series of interviews with policewomen. These interviews reveal how policewomen cope with the seemingly impossible task to find a balance between feminine values that they were raised to uphold and masculine values that their male-dominated field demands. According to the individual perspective, employees’ performance is more shaped by their unique personal experiences as opposed to standardized formal training (Britt 185). Since neither police officers’ formal training nor their subculture reduce or eliminate the differences between policemen and policewomen, sex differences have a much more significant

I spent my third and fourth session of my practicum with Constable Dwayne Harrison and Constable Paul Davis. Both members of the Lethbridge Regional Police Service (LRPS) are in the patrol unit; responding to calls and investigating. Patrol work is broad, responding to calls that mostly consist of theft, mischief, and domestic. It defines the police as a public service and making the public happy to have someone to solve their problems.

Yes, this indeed was a legal stop. This was a legal stop because under the stop and frisk exception police can stop a person on the streets and pat them down for illegal objects, so long as they have suspicion. And, during my midnight shift patrol I found it to be suspicious that these two men were behind a closed business. A business in which has been burglarized in the past. I do believe that stop and pat down was justified. I believe the stop was justified because the suspect did not appear to fit the time or place, as it was midnight and the business was closed. A pat down is to stop any further danger towards an officer and other people. A pat down should only be used to detect concealed weapons or contraband. So, I believe

Chapter 5 is the most important chapter for anyone who joins the law enforcement world. The chapter goes in depth of the policing legal aspects that anyone in the criminal justice system must know. Warren court was introduced as the ideology of offenders being protected by their individual rights. Warren Court believes it is best for the law enforcement to conduct their work by enforcing the law, however; the warren court believes individual rights is an important value. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the 4th Amendment’s definition and clauses. However, the consequence for law enforcement was not presented in the 4th Amendment. Many rules and doctrines were created to limit the corruption of law enforcement of over abusing the 4th Amendment.

When it comes to provincial law enforcement, it varies on the population density and geography of the province. All but two of Canada’s provinces contract out their provincial law-enforcement responsibilities to the RCMP/GRC because there are not enough people within that area to warrant their own municipal police force. Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland maintain their own provincial police forces which are the Ontario Provincial Police, Sûreté du Québec (Quebec Provincial Police) and Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. Smaller municipalities often contract police service from the provincial policing authority. Newfoundland's provincial police force is only responsible for the province's larger urban areas (St. John's, Corner Brook and Labrador

Errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation can leave a negative impression on your reader. You are the one who decides whether that impression will be positive or negative.

When writing your report or any other documents other people will need or see, it is important to use proper spelling and grammar. The vocabulary used should be words that are easily understood by many, if you make your document filled with police jargon or overly technical terminology, the common people would have a difficult time relating or being able to understand.

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.
