    Chain of command is an important aspect of the law enforcement division. Transmitting information through organizational structure ensures that all personnel in a department will be adequately informed.

    In a corrections system that is comprised of 2.3 million inmates, an estimated 1 million of those individuals are African American. In 2008, 58% of all inmates were comprised of Hispanics and African Americans. This rate is alarming considering only one quarter of the U.S population is comprised of Hispanics and African Americans (Western, B., & Pettit, B., 2010). It is expected that two- thirds of young African American boys that dropout of school will serve time in the correctional system. Young African American men who are raised in poverty areas are likely to spend time, during their life span, in prison or jail (Western, B., & Pettit, B., 2010).…

A veteran officer through his time and experience on the jobwould understand this more and would know that the chain of command is a vital component of any functioning and well organized police department. Whether the deviation of following orders was accidental or intentional, there are still serious repercussions that follow. Some consequences for insubordination can be a simple reprimand, suspension or it can ultimately lead to job termination.…
