In recent years and in light of recent tragedies, police actions, specifically police brutality, has come into view of a large, public and rather critical eye. The power to take life rests in the final stage of the criminal justice system. However, the controversy lies where due process does not. While the use of deadly force is defined and limited by departmental policies, it remains an act guided chiefly by the judgment of individual officers in pressure situations. (Goldkamp 1976, 169). Many current studies have emphasized the racial disparities in minority deaths, primarily black Americans, killed by police through means of deadly force. The history of occurrences reveals the forlorn truth that police reforms only receive attention in wake of highly publicized episodes of police misconduct. The notorious 1992 Los Angeles riots brought the matter to mass public attention and prompted improved law enforcement policy. Significant local reforms resulted, for instance, ending the policy of lifetime terms for police chiefs. Additionally, on a broader platform, in 1994, Congress approved provisions to the Crime Control Act in effort to tackle police abuse in a more structured way.

In order for a Police agency to prevent and deter Police misconduct, there must be a definition to what actions and behaviors that the term will encompass. The term ‘police corruption’ has been used to describe many activities: bribery; violence and brutality; fabrication and destruction of evidence; racism; favoritism or nepotism. Many different scholars differ in their own examples of the definition. Before attempting to the question of whether a precise definition is possible, it is worth examining the range of activities that might be included within a broad discussion of corruption. In (Bayley and Perito, 2011), it is defined as police corruption is a contested phrase with narrow and broad meanings. Narrowly

Inspections from the crime scene shows that Mantoli had the back of his skull beaten with an unknown blunt object. The Mantoli case’s suspect was a Negro man by the name of Virgil Tibbs, who was arrested at a nearby railroad station after police discovered a suspicious amount of money in his possession, suspected to have come from the victim’s missing wallet. Tibbs was shortly released from police custody after it is confirmed that the money was his own; rightfully earned from his position in a police department in Pasadena,

I am going to engage the jury in a series of questions that will lead to the verdict of Steve Harmon being declared innocent. Steve has been accused, as a lookout in the murder of a drugstore owner, Alguindado Nesbit. This evening I will prove to you that Steve is innocent of these charges. If we review the testimonies made through this trial,we come to Lorelle Henry. We heard that her granddaughter was sick with a cold and as a result, Mrs. Henry was in the same Harlem drugstore on December twenty second. She testified to seeing Mr.King arguing with store owner, Mr.Nesbit after King grabbed Mr.Nesbits’ collar of his shirt , she left. Mrs.Henry claims she never saw Steve, as the so called “lookout”. Richard Evans as some know him “Bobo” confesses to participating and being the mastermind behind this operation. Mr.Evans testified to being in the store with Mr.King, his friend for years. His testimony describes himself, “Bobo” as the one to grab the cash and some cartons of cigarettes, which leaves King to try and get the gun from Mr.Nesbit. Mr.Evans claims he never received a sign from Steven then

On Monday, May 23, 2016, at approximately 12:45 a.m., I, Trooper Bradley Brachear, received a telephone call from Sergeant Robert Ventura. Sgt.

I responded from the Lebanon area to assist. The crash resulted in one fatality.

The Miami River Cops scandal was an unfortunate blemish on the Miami Police Department’s reputation. Many factors contributed to the 100 plus police officers involvement, three of the most significant being; corrupt leadership, personal greed, and victimless crimes. The Miami Police Department responded tenaciously to the corruption by establishing measures with the aim of preventing such rampant corruption in the future. As shocking as the Miami River Cops corruption scandal may seem, it is certainly not the only case of police corruption to happen within the United States. Another equally shocking case of police corruption occurred in Cleveland, Ohio when 44 officers from five law enforcement agencies were charged with corruption stemming from narcotics.

Mr. Matthews said the male then got out of the truck and then began to walk down his driveway and fell and face first on the driveway. The male then got up and stumbled all the way down the street and disappeared in the darkness. While Officer Seachris was speaking with Mr. Matthews, neighbors advised there was moaning coming from down the street. Officer Seachris went to 628 S Vassar and located a light-skinned, bald, Hispanic male with no shirt lying face down on the cement porch. This subject was later identified as Javier Ramirez-Zarate. Officer Seachris could immediately smell a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on Mr. Ramirez-Zarate. Officer Seachris attempted to get information about the accident but Mr. Ramirez-Zarate kept repeating that he was at his house.

Over the last several years, most police departments have been facing numerous financial challenges. The main reason is law enforcement agencies are expected to do more with less and the stagnant economy. The combination of these factors has been placing pressure on many departments to begin imposing budget cuts. Evidence of this can be seen with a survey that was conducted by the University of North Carolina. They found that 67% of police departments made some kind of budget cuts for 2011. The most severe reductions were occurring in large police departments such as Los Angeles, Atlanta and Detroit. (Delfem, 2011, pp. 199 - 205) This is illustrating one of the most pressing issues affecting a wide variety of police departments across the country. To fully understand what is happening requires: examining the situation, how they are able to interact with other agencies (i.e. state / federal) and recommending the way this relationship can be improved. Together, these elements will offer specific insights about how police departments can effectively address this problem.
