Trust And Law Enforcement

Homeland Security is characterized by crime control being the primary police function. It is best achieved through a collective effort by all law enforcement agencies. One of the strategies being used is Intelligence Led Policing. This strategy is not new, it can be traced back to the British is the 1990’s (Bailey, 2011). Intelligence Led Policing is an approach to crime that deals with all crimes and threats including terrorism. This approach is unique because it is threat driven instead of incident driven. It also is a long term approach and focuses on causes and conditions that add to crime through a collection of data.

Law enforcement are now trained to recognize acts related to terrorism and to report any suspicious activities (“Federal Government Intelligence Sharing with State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement: An Assessment Ten Years After 9/11”.) Classified and unclassified information is now even more protected than they were before. The public will now be told very little of anything the police force come in contact with. The only exception is when there is a threat against the homeland (1.) Government and law enforcement started encouraging the public to report suspicious activity also (2.) Like in bigger air ports like the Minneapolis airport has a video playing over and over to not leave your bag unattended and to stay away from bags that are

September 11, 2001 showed that there were weaknesses in communication and emergency response. It also significantly changed the role police have with the prevention of terrorist acts. As Oliver stated, “... policing in the post-September 11 environment is not only a response to the specific events...but also an amalgam of change brought about by various political, economic, and social factors in the United States...” (Homeland Security for Policing, 2007, p. 43).

The horrific events of September 11, 2001, profoundly altered the way law enforcement agencies conducted business. The creation of new agencies arose, strategies, procedures, and training for law enforcement was necessary to prepare and combat terrorism. In this paper, I will analyze the before and after effects, the events of 9/11 caused in law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and what improvements I feel are needed to keep our nation safe from terrorism.

Thanks to the current increase of new technology that has helped to shape our societies in different ways. However, with the current increase of online crimes, emerging of radical groups and gang related groups have posed a major and critical balance between public safety and concerns of privacy. But with proper procedures and neutral grounds between the law enforcement and the public, can help to control the situation without any party feel being cheated.

The devastating events of 9/11 provided a forewarning to our country concerning the dangers of terrorism. However, it has created a particularly greater impact on the duties and standards expected of law enforcement agencies on all levels (local, state, and national). Law enforcement has begun implementing new tactics in an effort to prevent future terrorist attacks from threatening our national security. One aspect of policing in which terrorism has brought about is the process of information sharing between all levels of law enforcement. Our nation has also witnessed a change from traditional policing to that of a militarized one. Furthermore, after the incidents of September 11th, the

While many have welcomed Muslim immigrants to our country and the vast majority have become a welcome addition to our society, there is an undercurrent of militant Islam which is present and remains a threat. It is necessary for the Federal government working in concert with State and local authorities to continue the work which has been done on creating regional and state terror response cells and an information sharing network, but this is not enough. Even the federal information sharing systems available to law enforcement and intelligence agencies have limitations to who can access certain areas and the minimal training provided is not conducive to ease of access or locating information queried. This is a great first step but it must be made more accessible to all Emergency Management

Many aspects of the terror danger from correspondence between terrorist gatherings to enlistment of new individuals has been changing, to a great extent because of constantly creating Web innovation and new potential outcomes in the inter. State and local law requirement will keep on assuming a vital part in country security and counterterrorism. Residential law enforcement must receive a society of mindfulness helpful for amplifying its potential in perceiving the early indications of terrorism and local radicalization. Dug in societies frequently hinder change. For a social movement to happen in law enforcement, noteworthy exertion and enlivened administration must be shown over all strata of government. All law authorization Uniformity

In order to secure the relationship between the community and the law enforcement there needs to be more effective community policing in a homeland security policy. The principles of community policing is the dimensions of proactive policing, problem-solving, and community partnerships or cooperation (Criminal Justice and Criminology Faculty). Ultimately, to secure the relationship between the two, the community must trust the law enforcement because this trust creates legitimacy. “While, having lack of trust undermines the legitimacy of law enforcement and creates an unequal society in which some feel comforted by law enforcement while others

Pillar one references to building a bridge which joins the community and law enforcement together. Building trust and legitimacy between police and citizen play a fundamental role in the law enforcement agencies as well as the communities they serve. Many studies have shown and proven that people/citizens will uphold the law/s of the country when the ones who have the authority to enforce the law are proven to be legitimate. Law enforcement officer will not gain the trust of the people/ community if they are view as controlling and corrupted. The community on a whole wish for a guardian rather than a warrior within the police force. The mindset of all police officer should be to gain the trust and legitimacy within their community. To build

In recent years, society has heard cases of police brutality at an increasingly shocking rate, thus creating a sense of distrust among communities towards police officers and other authority figures. As the first line of defense against crimes such as home invasions or crimes against persons, police officers are expected to be an ally towards victims; however, it seems that society is now viewing officers as the perpetrators of crimes as opposed to the protectors. This has already posed an issue because community members are choosing not to seek police help when needed, and when they do decide to seek help, forgoing police assistance results in being uncertain of where else to go.

The purpose of this paper is to define and give as much detail information about Homeland Security in the United States and law enforcement and how they are integrated. I hope after reading this paper you will be well informed on the duties and responsibilities of these agencies. People have always lived in fear but with the help of these agencies we will no longer have to live in fear. I will try to give as much detail information as possible to help with any problems or situation that might come up. Homeland Security in the United States and law enforcement have extensive research skills and knowledge in serving and protecting citizens and other important groups and agencies. Homeland

It is difficult it is to gain accurate intelligence from people who don't trust you (Virta, 2008). Trust with the community can greatly help against counter-terrorism (Demos, 2007). The police must be the ones who reach out and to the communities they have poor relationships with. When there are communities that have no communication and or collaboration with the police it makes it a safe zone for terrorist cells and recruitment. When there isn't intelligence coming from the community the police don’t have many other options than using

There are six stages of morality in Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. “The fourth stage of morality is maintaining social order” (Khana Academy, 2014). Ethics are essentially a moral roadmap that helps guide a person’s actions. A person’s integrity is based on how they adhere to these morals. Preserving trust between law enforcement and citizens is the utmost importance, due to law enforcement is entrusted by the people to uphold laws that were created by the majority to be justice.

There is a perception of distrust between law enforcement and the community. This distrust stems directly from the dangerous words police use when communicating with the community. (Willis, 2015, p.) Simply choosing better words can help build relationships between law enforcement and the community. It is necessary for law enforcement to have trust with their community. There are many things that hinge on the police-community relationships, the ability of law enforcement to perform their duties, are the most important. Law enforcement must be willing to rely on the public to observe the law. They must always demonstrate absolute impartiality to the law.
