The Police Department Of Whittier

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the third largest police agency in the United States. The LAPD has approximately 9885 sworn officers and 2718 support staff. They cover approximately 500 square miles and is for the protection of over 4 million people. With that in mind, managing such a behemoth agency is a complicated and problematic endeavor. Therefore, one of the LAPD strengths is the way they manage themselves and protect citizens. Another strength of the LAPD is created many various kinds of investigation divisions, bureaus unit and special operation units. The components allow the LAPD to address a different kind of crimes, services, and investigation. Some of these components are specialized units with members that specially trained to for the unit's purpose or the specific type of crime or investigation. For an example, they have counter-terrorism bureau, background investigation unit, commercial crime division, gang and narcotic division, juvenile division, robbery homicide division and also technical investigation division. The LAPD also addresses the needs of the community by setting up many stations to handle the needs of their constituents. The LAPD also has a support unit to manage the day to day operation such as the personal division, jail division, property division and administrative section to manage massive bureaucratic tasks.

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. Patrol work is broad, responding to calls that mostly consist of theft, mischief, and domestic. It defines the police as a public service and making the public happy to have someone to solve their problems.

Nestled on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Citrus County is home to hundreds of thousands of people, according to the latest data from the United States Census Bureau (source). Comprised of several small towns, Citrus County spans nearly six hundred square miles, consisting of an older, predominantly white population, based on reports from the Census Bureau (source). As the dominant law enforcement agency in the area, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) works diligently to ensure public safety through patrolling and policing. According to latest employment report from the CCSO, the agency employs thousands of personnel, with only one hundred ninety-eight sworn patrol officers (source). The employment report from the CCSO also indicates the

The Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department is tasked with providing health care services to all incarcerated prisoners within a jail system which at present exceeds 18,500 inmates. Correctional Treatment Center (CTC) provides care and treatment for inmates requiring inpatient medical and or psychiatric care in this 196-bed rated medical unit located in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. The inmate population is in poor health, largely due to the lifestyle choices of the inmates which often include substance abuse, violence, and living on the streets of Los Angeles. They require the same basic medical care that all residents of Los Angeles County require, including routine illness to advanced medical issues such as tuberculosis (TB), AIDS/HIV+, heart disease, diabetes, dialysis, paraplegics, and acute mental health problems. Additionally, problems associated with aging are becoming common as the jail population increasingly includes older inmates. In the wake of chronic overcrowding in the county lockups, the Sheriff 's Department has been struggling to provide adequate care for thousands of inmates, many of whom have never been treated, with illnesses ranging from tuberculosis to AIDS to schizophrenia. Reported rates of tuberculosis in jails and prisons are more than six times higher than those for the general population. Jails and prisons concentrate individuals at high risk for TB or noncompliance with therapy, including those who are

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is composed of over eighteen thousand employees. The hiring process is a long and arduous process, consumed with numerous steps. The most pivotal aspect of the hiring process is the background investigation on applicants. Background investigations are a crucial step to deciding if an applicant will be qualified for employment. Unfortunately, even qualified applicants are overlooked, and under qualified applicants are offered employment to meet discriminating hiring quotas. These hiring quotas are a result of a policy known as Affirmative Action.

On the state level, they perform functions outside the jurisdiction of the sheriff. They help to coordinate multi-jurisdiction task force activity in serious or complicated situations, but only in states that grant full power statewide.

There are three types of law enforcement agencies, federal, state, and local. Federal agencies include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Secret Service, state agencies include state troopers and/or highway patrol and local law enforcement include sheriff departments, county police, and townships. Townships are the smaller division of a county with some corporate power. Townships make communities safe and pleasant places to live by communicating with the citizens and assisting them with all their needs. I am a resident of Copiague, Town of Babylon. The town of Babylon is a suburban area. Babylon is in the Police District in which 911 calls are responded to by the Suffolk County Police department. I have formed my perception of the Suffolk County Police Department by my few encounters with them.

It is an early Saturday morning. It’s the first day of the academy and an officer already yelling at you saying “ Who told you you could be a cop?”. Heart beats fast from being nervous and not knowing to expect next. These people have chosen to put their life at risk; but say it’s a worthy cost because they say “we protect, we serve”.

On July 28th of 1984, Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, a 22-year-old college student and another woman was both brutally raped at knife point. During the attack, Thompson was attentive of her attacker’s appearance and anything else notable so if she survived the attack, she could assure the rapist would be caught and punished (prosecuted). Within a few days of the attack, the Burlington Police Department of North Carolina had determined a suspect through the composite Thompson made and arrested Ronald J. Cotton on August 1, of 1984. Thompson was able to identify Cotton under photo identification and then successfully chose him again in the physical line-up. The second victim, however did not chose Cotton in either of the lineups.

Citizens of the nation will frequently claim that it is the responsibility of the government or states to safeguard its citizens and uphold the constitution. But what are the citizens supposed to do when these two fundamental philosophies suddenly are set in opposition with each other? In New York, the stop-and-frisk law is designed to protect its citizens, and yet it is taking away their constitutional rights. Although in some instances this method is deemed legal, the New York Police Department has adapted the process into one that stems from criminal profiling. Thus, the two ideologies clash in their views. The right-wing emphasizes how much the violent crime rate has declined. However, the left-wing refutes by asking the vital

Police Department in Baltimore has been highly publicized death of African American while in the police custody. There are approximately of 40% in African American and the police department contain up to 85% of white. Due to high protests and massive media attention leading violence and destructive of property on the street, loss of business investment, and bad publicity of the city, the human resource department needs to reconstruct the entire police department to corresponding to the Affirmation Action (AA) code of conducts in the city of the Baltimore (Assignment#1, Scenario).

Is CIMS still the right answer (sharing information across the PRIDE police agencies)? Is this vision too grandiose for police agencies to embrace at this time? Should PRIDE agencies continue to expend effort and resources (demanding more complicated system requirements) to work toward this information sharing goal? Should WRPS follow the “I’ll have what she’s having” strategy and simply select the same solution as the other PRIDE agencies?

The Los Angeles Police Department’s crime map shows that there are a lot of crime activities happened in downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, and West Hollywood. Most of the crimes happened are larceny, motor vehicle theft, and vehicle break-in. The homicide report map on L.A. Times website indicates that most of the victims in downtown areas are Latinos and African-Americans, suspiciously due to gang violence. One thing really surprised me after viewing the crime map was that there is no crime activities happened in Monterey Park and Alhambra, where most of the Chinese live. I checked out the homicide report map and compared the numbers of death in downtown areas and in Pasadena areas. I was shocked by the number differences of death in these
