    The literature I will be focusing on in my analysis is Seth Stoughton’s “Law Enforcement’s ‘Warrior’ Problem”, published in the Harvard Law Review journal on 10 April 2015. Stoughton explains how he believes policing is currently done. Which is with a “warrior” mentality that officers are trained to have and how that mentality negativity shapes how the police view, and interact with, civilians by making the officer view everyone as a threat and ensuring the officer requires unchallenged dominance and respect in every interaction. Stoughton says this has created a divide between police and civilians, which is detrimental to the safety of both police officers and civilians. Stoughton explains how he believes policing should be done, with a “guardian”…

    The main reason why i would like to work for Hutchins Police Department is because i wouldn't just be a badge number to my superiors and the citizens of Hutchins. It appeals to me because i would be able to form relationships with not only the citizens, buisness owners but also my collegues, which I would not have the opportunity to do if I worked in a large agency. Something else that interest me about Hutchins is the fact that I would receive the necessary training that I would need to become the best police officer I could be. I am extremely dedicated to anything I put my mind to, and I strive for excellence.…

In researching his life, I discovered that he served in many capacities during his lifetime (he passed away in 2014); first as a clergyman, then later as a police officer and as a Director of Public Safety in California, a Chief of Police in two cities in Washington state, one of them…

    Police use of force has been a particularly prevalent topic of debate in Victoria for decades, most seemingly so throughout the mid 80’s and late 90’s. But with new and improved equipment as well as old known issues, the long held debate has again begun to rear its head in Victoria. Whether it be a police shooting fatality, or a perceived use of excessive force, the police face heavy scrutiny when excessive force is used. Regardless of the arguments regarding the level of force and accountability allowed by legislators, the most constant of arguments surrounds the need for force itself. And whilst the media in particular only make known the negatives of the use of force by police, people tend to forget about the reasons for its need in the…

    The world we live in today is one to be disappointed about in the aspect of America’s law enforcement. Early law enforcement was introduced in the 1800’s in Great Britain. Originally established with the same traits as its military, their purpose was one of great value which involved serving and protecting the people at any cost with a civilized and humane approach. America had since then adopted the law enforcement structure from Great Britain, but ultimately warped the structure into that of their own. The war on drugs in the late 70’s was a huge influence in the decision to push for a more militarized law enforcement; and now we are where we are, America’s policing is structured in a way that was thought to be even more beneficial for the…
