Cooperation from members of the public is important in order for police officers to effectively fight crime within the community. In order to obtain cooperation from members of the public, police officers must gain their trust and confidence. It has been known that African Americans and Hispanics have lower levels of trust and confidence in police because of racial disparities and racial profiling. This paper will discuss the public opinion of police by different ethnic groups and how racial minorities hold lower levels of trust and confidence in police.

When it comes to the public's perception of police officers, the media plays a major role. Individuals who hear frequent media reports of abuse or corruption in law enforcement are more likely to believe that misconduct is common. Likewise, African-Americans who live in high-crime neighborhoods are more likely to believe that misconduct is common if they hear about frequent cases of police misconduct. While personal interactions and the interactions with family or friends are more important, scandals reported in the news can have a strong impact on how the police are perceived by the community.

Police officers should also be retrained to the highest possible standards of ethics and integrity to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms and dignity of the Kenyan citizens. This retraining can also help to weed out rogue police from the service. For the police reform process to move forward, there should be strict adherence to the new constitution, which requires police to be professional, competent and accountable, respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms at all times. Further there is need for increased political will and less interference in the police reform process. This will ensure that there is true engagement in the process and the entire exercise is not an act in futility. For reforms to be successful in the country,

It is easy to say that one of the most common complaints civilians have about police officers is that their communication problems. When officers embrace such an attitude, they run the risk of sending a message that was not meant to be in a bad way. Police officers with communication problems will cause the public to lack trust in the police officers. The profession that we are in, we rely on the public for information to help the police in fight crimes. In today’s society, police departments have to deal with socio-demographic issues. Some of the issues such as race, sex and age had a major effect on the attitudes toward police officers. Police officers with no communication problems will cause the public to trust them and make our job easy.

In the past, many studies viewed the issue of police deviance as the notion of bad apples on the force. Management and culture of a police department are the most crucial factors that influence police behaviors. And the manner of which officers behave toward citizens will affect whether citizens view law enforcement as an institution with integrity.

In an age when police departments advocate for closer ties with citizens in their communities, scandals like corruption, brutality and other criminal activities committed by police officers do little to portray a positive image the departments are striving to achieve. Over the past few decades, police misconduct has been a headline story. These headlines give a black eye to the police officer who has integrity and refrains from committing any act that could be construed as misconduct. The greater tragedy is when citizens and communities lose confidence in the entity providing protection. The reputation of the police department goes beyond its immediate community and more often affects surrounding communities and their police

In Julseth et al.’s (2011) article summarizes that the retention rate of patrol officers is in steady decline, and stated that different policing factors that include fatigue, stress, and workload, seems to be major reasons for high turnover rates. In this article, it was examined the perceptions and views of patrol officers on contemporary policing, and the issues that relate to job satisfaction (Julseth et al., 2011). Investigating job satisfaction in policing is important because some issues can affect the performance of officers, and on consequence, it will affect the entire department’s effectiveness. These studies can help police administrators to reduce stress, improve productivity, and decrease turnover by making them aware of internal

These series of unprofessional conduct by the member of police department involve was due to the failure of leaderships. We have failed to advocate a strong leadership to stop the misuse of authority within the police department. With the absence of clear policies and procedures to ensure the Constitutional obligations are being followed, the morale of the law enforcement will be affected as well. This types of conduct is an example of leadership failure by not taking proactive measures, such as, investigating and detecting wrong doing and to discipline those who are guilty of misconduct. As a member of a State Sheriff’s Association, we should provide a clear mission and statement and following through to make sure that the policies are being

Every existing government must have some resemblence of a police force in order to ensure the lawful obedience of its citizens. As British Parliament member Sir Robert Peel emphasized, the most effective and healthy relationship between law enforcement and its citizens is one in which there is rarely a need for physical force or intervention. Currently however, it seems as if this guiding principle has become practically obsolete in modern day policing. As a result, the public has acquired a negative perception of police officers, particularly in communities with a higher population of minority groups. Additionally, many individuals view law enforcement as being discriminatory, believing that there is a vast distinction between

With police treatment being questioned lately, the image of the average policeman have declined into a negative judgment. The average law enforcement officer should acquire specific qualities and skills so they are prepared to facilitate difficult situations that might occur. For instance, P.A.L., Police Athletic League, offers a safe environment for kids to play sports with other kids in their situation and give them an opportunity to get off the streets. In today society, police officers mentor and represent their community making them the key role model.

“This program surged from the necessity to increase confidence in the police, due to the fact that the image of the police has suffer degradation given public perceptions of police corruption, abuse of authority and lack of communication of us with them” (Police Chief of Patrols in Dandi District)

The community’s perception is based that the police officers are required to protect the society, the community and the people, but not to harm the people. Police officers mentality is based that a good control order, will always win. Police officers believe that they have the power and authority to control any situation. But in reality police officers are humans too, they get stressed out too and they might have personal problems too. But if for any reason one of an officers commits any mistake out in the field, I believe that they put themselves in the line for another officer too. They protect themselves, do not give too much information about the incident, stay silent as much as possible and back up each other’s back by denying all accusations
