Questions Uploaded Discuss some of the difficulties reported by employees related to the implementation of this new system in relation to changes in job task. What are the major benefits to the management of a criminal justice related organization having access to such a system? The integration of jobs tasks, under systems such as the Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG), is allowing first responders to more effectively coordinate with each other. This is helping to streamline their ability to communicate and quickly deal with a variety of situations. However, despite the positive transformations, everyone is being forced to make adjustments. (Wesley, 2011) This is occurring through many employees failing to understand how it is enhancing the capabilities of law enforcement's reaction to various events. These challenges are creating perceptions that more must be accomplished in order to maintain and build upon the status quo. Yet, the system is able to perform various tasks, which often involved the individual having to manually reenter information. This is creating confusion about if updates are occurring and new responsibilities. (Wesley, 2011) At the same time, the booking process has been streamlined. This is taking place when an officer arrests someone and begins asking them questions that are normally conducted by personnel inside the jail. Under traditional procedures, these roles were often very limited utilizing the old database. This is problematic, as it

The field of police work is constantly being forced to develop and improve its protocols, procedures, and practices in an effort to keep pace with the ever-changing society in which it operates and criminal behavior it seeks to eradicate. While the history of policing has been marked by substantial changes throughout time, the work of modern-day police officers and officials demonstrate some of the most substantial adaptations to its surrounding environment that the field has ever seen. In order to understand where the future of policing is heading, it is important to first understand these current trends that are affecting the current landscape of the profession. By
For some law enforcement agencies, their response methods have stayed they same over the years because they work for their agency, while other agencies will continuously update their response methods to stay ahead of the times. With the rapidly changing world, communities, and crimes, all law enforcement must go through training, especially when response methods are revised or a new one is implemented. Training keeps the managers, leaders, and officers knowledgeable and up to date on any changes that are or will be
Technology has advanced over the years and has been influence change in the workforce. The use of technology has changed the way entities operate, and how methods are used daily. With the use of technology and innovation, several things have changed within the Marion County Superior Court Probation Department. The development of technology has influence the change in the systems we use and the methods of data input. Not only has it influence the systems used on a daily basis but it has also changes the way Probation Officer manage their assigned cases.
During a large-scale incident the collaboration of multiple responding agencies as well as the increased volume of first responders can muddle responder’s ability to communicate effectively. With the development of incident command systems first responders are now able to coordinate response efforts with various jurisdictions and agencies, while establishing a common process and management of resources that integrates multiple resources that operate within a common organizational structure. (ICS 100, 2017. Lesson 1) This intern has strengthened responding agencies ability to not only communicate with each other, but other agencies as well.
There are different agencies in the criminal justice system. Courts, corrections, law enforcement, and prosecution are all a part of the criminal justice system. It may not seem as if they cooperate with one another but they are all in the same system. Since all of the agencies are in the same system, the agencies have an organizational structure. Throughout this paper interesting information pertaining to corrections in different states will be discussed. Do we know Michigan’s and Florida’s correctional system? Many states run their corrections inversely and some may operate the same.
Jerry McElroy is Executive Director of the Criminal Justice Agency. Jerry talks about trying to change some of the things in the system, but first they had to show the people that they meant no harm. Also employees especial new employees had to follow the new Idea’s based on these changes (Jerry McElroy, 2016). Today’s leaders must be much more empathic to the needs of their employees, their elected officials, and the public (Baker,2015).
Negative attitudes and focuses only conjure up similar emotions and attitudes. Similarly, technology and the social practices continue to creep from society into the fire stations threatening to divide teams. In today’s fire service, team building and motivation are necessary to maximize department operations. This week’s presentation focused on the impact of such activities –as to how they benefit, improve, and are used in fire departments. The three presentations that I reviewed specifically covered one of the three aspects, while bringing up the remaining. The three presentations I reviewed were created by Matt Halfacre, Colin Field, and Brett Schimmack.
With proper intelligence and training, responders can set up networks to share information on possible terrorists and their potential targets. Joint Terrorism Task Force offices are excellent examples of agencies gathering and sharing information on potential terrorists or recent terrorist acts. With this type of information sharing, the chances of countering or even foiling potential terrorist acts increase. However, responding agencies must also be ready to respond and coordinate in case a terrorist is successful in his or her attack. Active shooter situations like those in San Bernardino, Ca. and Orlando, Fl. are two recent examples of successful terrorist attacks. These attacks were well planned and executed and resulted in the deaths of many. The response to this type of attack is rehearsed by many American police agencies on a regular basis and the national standard is for responding officers to move toward the sound of the gunfire. One thing that responders still need to work heavily on is coordination and teamwork between responding agencies whether they be law enforcement or rescue personnel. One consideration for a mass casualty event is the coordination of rescues of wounded individuals. The traditional training is for fire and rescue personnel to stage while law enforcement personnel make the area of operations safe. This philosophy was revisited after the theater shooting in Aurora,
Modern policing is characterized by a need to mitigate the effects of creative tactics and irregular criminal activities. At the small-departmental level, this need requires coordination by departmental members highly proficient in police immediate actions. Furthermore, these officers must demonstrate a facility in adaptive decision making and flexible action execution to effectively respond to threats. At issue whether current training theory can appropriately support this need to enable officers that are not only procedurally ready but also cognitive ready. In this article, the authors provide a theoretical framework meant to guide the development of training for team cognitive readiness (TCR). Beginning with perceptual processing and
The introduction and evolution of technology into the law enforcement profession is nothing new. As with any profession, the ushering in of new, more efficient and effective ways to complete a job is continually being sought after. The continued updates and modernization of society have trickled into every aspect of modern living, and age old professions are not exempt. Law enforcement as a community needs to remain at the fore front of these advancements. To sit idly by as the world of technology evolves around it would be a detriment to the wellbeing of society and to criminal justice system. These constantly evolving advancements however now come with a new set of challenges to the law enforcement community. The requirement to look
This essay exams the concept of problem-oriented policing and its past, present, and future implications according to Herman Goldstein. This essay will also discuss administrative and operational considerations of problem-oriented policing in relation to functions of patrol, crime investigation, emergency or critical incident response, and future trends.
As we, all may know technology plays a vital role in many response agencies, and it is highly needed in order to improve interoperability. Interoperability is needed in order for first responders to effectively communicate with one another. In order to respond successfully all local agencies must exchange information in real time. First, responders are having difficulty communicating with each other during disasters. For example, due to the lack of interoperability communications during 9/11 and during hurricane Katrina, thousands of citizens and first
In addressing the question as to which approach to the organization of criminal justice functions more efficiently, first one must consider how organization is defined. Organization is basically defined as social units devoted primarily to the attainment of specific goals. A system for the administration of criminal justice, whether it is confrontational or inquisitorial, should include certain key elements with communications between a large number of personnel; whose roles are very defined, who are required to follow specific rules, and who share a obligation in a common goal and take in consideration environmental influences. Weber has characterized the major components of all organizations as: a continuous organization of official
Technology has become the bedrock for different parts of the correction system. The main force of expenditures and study in the corrections field is for the use of monitoring offenders. Different technologies that allow for better control pf the offenders can save lives and help prevent new crimes from emerging. The point of these technologies is to reduce the chance of recidivism by deterring criminals from behaviors that they may commit if otherwise left to their own devices. “The role of staff in the correctional institutional environment will never be obsolete but the use of technology can enhance and enable staff to perform their jobs more efficiently and in a safer and more secure way.” (Mannix 2) There is also an increase use of
