Police Officer Safety Scenarios

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.

Jalen was placed in the rear of my marked Police vehicle. Prior to entering my vehicle, I completed as search of Jalen’s clothing. He had a cell phone charger in his left pocket and a cell phone in his right pocket. I removed the cell phone and kept it in my possession. FTO Noble and Officer R. Collins would later take the phone for evidence. Marlon was placed in the rear of Officer Baker’s marked Police vehicle. Both were transported to 1337 Copperstone Circle, where the vehicle was located. I gathered Jalen’s parent information at this time.

Upon arrival, Officer Wheeler activated his (BWC1) body worn camera which was later uploaded to evidence.com. As our patrol vehicle pulled up to St. Luke’s emergency room entrance, I viewed a male later identified as (RV1) Devinelle Lavaughn Broussard with a cellphone in his hand attempting to prevent a female, later identified as (B1) Eleasia Ashanti Fraise, from throwing a (EVD1) red brick. I next saw Fraise throw the brick at a parked (D1) silver BMW, located along the south side walk. The brick fell to the ground and Fraise went to picked it back up. Fraise picked the brick up and moved in the direction of our patrol vehicle with the brick at shoulder height. I parked the patrol vehicle and immediately got out drawing my firearm to a low ready. Officer Broussard stepped out of the vehicle and drew firearm pointing it at Fraise (View Officer Wheeler’s statement for further details). Officer Wheeler and I gave commands to Fraise to drop the brick. Fraise immediately complied and dropped the brick. I holstered my firearm

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

On Thursday, July 14, 2016, at approximately 0847 hours, Patrolman David Stamets had a vehicle stopped on the 100 block of East Oak Street. Immediately after Stamets stopped the vehicle Your Affiant positioned his vehicle on the 100 block of South White Street near the Oak Street intersection facing southbound. When exiting my vehicle your Affiant observed a gold Pontiac sedan accelerating northbound on South White Street at an unsafe speed towards Stamets and your Affiant's location.

Have you ever asked yourself what it would be like to become a police officer. Becoming a police officer isn’t an easy take because they have to risk their life everyday to protect and serve the community. They have to go through the dangers of arresting criminals when there is a chance that they could die. However, in today’s society only a small amount of the police officers actually serves their community and protect citizens from danger. Right now, most police officers abuse their power to the point where they don’t seem to care for the safety of the community. They would usually arrest innocent people, make accusations, and even use their power as a source to show their dominance. If you think about, whenever you are stuck in traffic

At approximately 16:43 hours I arrived in the area of 120th Ave and Oliver Road. Once I turned east I saw a blue truck parked in the roadway. As I approached the vehicle I noticed three people sitting the guardrail to the railroad crossing arm. I approached the three and asked them to step away from the tracks and towards me. The three did so without hesitation. A male, who I know from previous encounters as Richard Wayne Hamilton, asked why the Sheriff's Office was called when they weren't doing anything wrong. I explained to Richard that his vehicle was blocking the lane of travel and when I approached they were trespassing on railroad property. Richard stated he was not trespassing as the group had been given permission by BNSF Police given that they were not parked on the tracks and were clear of the tracks as trains were traveling through the area. I told Richard I would contact BNSF Police and verify this information.

As being a police officer becomes more and more scrutinized by the community and the media, it is difficult to find citizens to fill these positions. When a lot of what officers do day to day currently is continually watched, it makes it hard to please the community and also keep the safety of everyone, so it is ever more excruciating that officers stay safe. With our ever changing world police officers have to keep up as well to learn and adapt to how the world works to keep everyone and themselves safe. The Greeley Police department should provide more extensive training on educating officers to stay safer because it will keep officer safety a priority, create a better understanding as to why they should have body cams and dash cams, and learn to properly deal with mental health patients.

On 09/18/2015, at approximately 0058 hours, West Mahanoy Township Police Officer Joshua Pastucka observed a brown convertible driving in a slow manner in front of the Shenandoah Borough Police Department. He observed the vehicle circle the Police Department twice and frequently stopping in his travel. Officer Pastucka proceeded towards the vehicle observed the operator and identified him as Robert CONRAD. Officer Pastucka is familiar with CONRAD and had prior knowledge his license and vehicle registration was suspended. When CONRAD proceeded behind the Shenandoadh Borough Police Department on the second occassion Officer Pastucka entered behind him and made contact with him. CONRAD attempted to exit his vehicle and while doing so he had a difficult time opening the door. Once out of his vehicle he had a staggered gait and stumbled into the quarter panel of his vehicle. CONRAD briefly paused while leaning on the quarter panel of his vehicle and then began to walk towards Officer Pastucka's vehicle. Officer Pastucka instructed CONRAD to return to

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

There is nothing more honorable than an individual choosing to serve his community and his country as a law enforcement officer. With some margin of error they are a very respectable and hardworking people, but in their line of work there are challenges that most people will never have to face. The most obvious being the heightened amount of responsibility and the burden of maintaining a good public image along with the inherent dangers of working in the profession. The stress placed on these men and women builds up and in many of them they begin to develop problems at home and problems with themselves. Some are as innocent as high blood pressure while others can be as serious as insomnia, increase in suicidal thoughts or actions, post-traumatic stress disorder, and heart diseases to name a few. Not only are officers lives threatened while on duty, negative mental and physical strain can develop into serious problems for the officers that affects them wherever they are in their day to day life. A study done shows that 72% of female officers and 43% of male officers had health problems related to the stressful work environment that police officers are subject to. They are exposed to death and human suffering and any person would find that difficult to bear. We at home are not helping matters either as we treat them how we treat most all people who have hit a mental crisis point, we skirt the topic and instead of treating them and helping them we tell them to just get over it

Scenario 1 The role of a sergeant officer does not end with catching criminals and investigating various cases. A sergeant officer is also responsible for supervising the performance of his subordinates and evaluating them and these include disciplinary actions. Like other professionals, police officers are expected to behave properly and ethically inside and outside the workplace. Hence, it is important for them to act according to their code of ethics and maintain a good reputation.

ON 09-03-2016 at 0930 hours, I was notified by Sgt Kelley of an aggravated battery which occurred at 2111 Roanoke Springs Drive. I was advised to respond to St. Joseph’s Hospital (South) at 6901 Simmons Loop in Riverview. Upon my arrival, I met with Sgt. Kelley, Deputy Karpenske # 249578 and Crime Scene Tech Dewitt. There was a black 2013 Nissan Maxima bearing Florida tag, DGV F36, parked in the emergency room parking bay. I learned the suspect, Joanna Lebrea Lewis had driven the car to the hospital for treatment of the injuries sustained during the offense. It was learned that verbal consent had been obtained from both the victim and suspect to search their residence and vehicle. It was also learned the victim, Marieio Denod Spradley,

Coming from the perspective of the student, the police were overly forced and he was being arrested for asking a question that he was called on and had the opportunity to speak freely. In this question, he asked if the senator was a part of any secret society. In his mind, he is asking a question he feels is important to him and the community. The question only required a simple yes or no when being answered. Saying a side comment that was away from the microphone, so it was unclear but perhaps what his comment was sarcastic on the lines of “see no answer must be the.” With this one comment the cops quickly rush to him and hold him on the arms with low noticeable force. The student sees this as unnecessary for all he did was ask a question

On November twenty-second, 2014, a dark-skinned, twelve-year-old boy was playing in the park with a toy BB gun in Ohio. A police officer shot the boy, and he died the day after. Now imagine one’s own child, brother, or sister playing in the park and being shot to death for playing with their favorite toy. Although Tamir Rice’s death proves that while “Cleveland city claimed Rice 's injuries - and subsequent death” the threat of police brutality is very real, and body cameras have presented themselves in response to this (Akkoc). Police cameras have gained popularity in the last few years, but the benefit of safety and regulation of police officers does not outweigh the clear negativities of their presence. These cameras cost the public
