• As practitioners we should also get support. As practitioners this can become very stressful and upsetting for us when we are involved in a case of suspected abuse or actual abuse, so it is important that we can talk to others about this, but because of strict confidentiality you must not talk to anyone who does not need to know. Your Supervisor /manager/colleagues can help support you but remember again this information is confidential so only talk to other professionals that you can legally confide in. Your manager/supervisor will put you in touch with an outside professional that you can talk things over with. This is usually a Social worker or a person from the NSPCC.

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.

It defines the police as a public service and making the public happy to have someone to solve their problems.

Abuse may be revealed in a number of different ways. For example you may find that someone wants to tell you about it because they trust you. Also it might be from someone who has observed the abuse taking place, e.g. resident seeing a care worker shaking another resident because they were too slow getting dressed. The abuse is disclosed to the professional, sometimes with a request for confidentiality.

‘If I suspect abuse through noticing a sign of physical abuse or change in the behaviour of an individual, I will make sure that I ask the individual what has happened telling the individual the changes that I have noticed. If it is in my place of work and the name of the person that abused the individual is known, whether staff or another service user, I must also record and report this. I will listen to the individual carefully; it is up to them to tell me, I would not ask them any questions about this as this is not part of my job role and would stay calm.I will make sure that I record what the individual tells me using the individual’s own words.

Proactively engaging the local media can be an effective way to influence community perception of a police department. Whether a department has a specifically designated public information officer, the agency always has a spokesperson who should use his or her media contacts to conduct a broad, proactive outreach strategy, disseminating information about successful programs within the department. Building rapport with the media will also provide the department with more opportunities to highlight positive stories in the future. By publicizing a community oriented policing or citizen police academy program through the news and print media, a police department can further convey its mission and core values to the public (Chermak and Weiss, 2003).

With every investigation there must be a police report made. The purpose of the police report it to provide accurate documentation of observations made by on officer during the investigation of a criminal incident. An officer is the only person that can right a police report and it must be signed in order to swear that it is accurate. Prosecuting attorneys can use these reports to determine if criminal charges will be filed as well as aid in the understanding of what occurred in order to properly prepare a witness. Reports can also be used to cross-examine officer who filed the report prior to trial or at trial.

Policing refers to regulation, control, keeping peace by police officers. There are two styles of keeping order known as proactive and reactive forms (Reisig and Kane 2014). Reactive policing refers to the way police react to particular requests from people in the community which include patrolling and waiting to point a crime to get a remedy and immediate response to calls for help from people in the community. Mostly, a police officer only acts when a crime is occurring. For example, if someone is a court in cases of strike police will avail themselves to stop continued destruction of people’s property.
