The Cop

I have arrived to COP Charkh a couple of days ago and have endured a couple of days of refresher training. My assigned weapons system was finally issued to me today, an M-4, an ACOG* (five power magnification scope) and a PAC 4 (night time infrared laser aiming system) after receiving my assigned weapon I spent a little time cleaning and lubricating the weapon system. Additional equipment that I received included a fresh plate carrier, the ballistics plates from the former body armor system was removed

Rise of the Warrior Cop, by Radley Balko, centers around police in the United States and how it has gone through militarization throughout the years. Militarization is a process in which the police departments take on tactics that are similar to the tactics used by the military. Police forces were initially made to make our environment a safer place to live in. In this book, Balko explains how that has changed. Practices of policing first began when people would get hired, unofficially, to keep slaves

since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to be extraordinary in some way. When I was 8 years old I told myself that I wanted to be a cop. I don’t know what it was but I liked the idea of being a hero for people. Of course, since I was 8 years old, I never knew that I could die on the job because who would be stupid enough to assault a cop and resist arrest? My dream of being a cop was over, but I certainly didn’t give up on finding something that could make me stand out. By 7th grade, I knew that I wanted

the cops could never catch up to me. In March of 1965 before riding around George two guys decided they wanted to race me. After dropping my wife off, I told them my friend and I would meet them East of town and I started at where the funeral home is now and by the time I was at the nursing home corner I was doing 90 mph. Just a little way ahead there was a car sitting in the middle of the road, right where I was headed because of ice and water. I hit the brakes seconds before I collided with the

community policing in their mission statement community partnership(arguably the most important part) is the least used in many departments(Maguire, Katz, 2002). Many departments inflate their involvement in community policing especially since the COPS(community oriented policing services) give federal grants to departments who use this. Actually billions have been spent on community policing and millions on researching it but no definitive evidence of its success on crime has been made by the early

Cop in the Hood Book Club Discussion Post 1 (pages 1 – 88) Author Peter Moskos states on page 86, that nobody believes that victory in the drug war is imminent and that most police do not want drug laws softened. He also quotes a police sergeant, saying “legalization would send the wrong message.” The number of drugs convicts dwelling in today’s prisons are still extremely high. Roughly half of the number of people incarcerated

Viewers of the show Cops are victims of the shows ideas, their perception of what happens in the show vs reality becomes altered and molded into what the show wants one to see. Ideas that one pick up from the show are things like cops always being the winners and the majority of criminal’s being uneducated drug addicts, which, majority of them happen to be African American. Although viewers may not realize the ideas that the show is planting in their heads, the viewers unknowingly receive the message

An open letter to cop haters and the media First of all a big “Thank You” to the cops who work day and night for the safety of the people and the society. The work cop do for the people is highly praise- worthy. Today we can walk and do legal things without fear because of cops who make it possible for us. But there are some people who doesn’t see this and instead tell others about the danger of cops. Yes, there are some bad cops out there who had intentionally or unintentionally taken wrong decisions

For my career I chose to be a cop. I want to be a cop because I want to work outside and inside. I also want to be a cop because you get paid well. Some of my relatives are police officers and I want to do what they do. I like to make people do the right thing. One of the reasons I don’t want to be a cop is because it’s dangerous sometimes. These are many of the reasons I want to be a cop. I will be getting into more of the details of a cop in the rest of my paper. This paragraph will be about

As an illustration, I was a regular guy walking around the sidewalk of Staten Island. Moreover, I just realized that selling something toxic wasn’t an acceptable way of reconciling. Individually, I tried to play, hide, and seek with the cops. But, to hypothesize what? They weren’t playing: causing me to stop. As if they were Cyclops. Because, as I draw closer, and ask “what’s with the holdup”: literally. Simply, show some sympathy. As you can see, they approached with eagerness. As if they were ready
