Law Enforcement Book Report

I designed the books of 10 to keep things simple and attainable while still providing vast knowledge to the reader. Primarily these books are intended to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of Law Enforcement (L.E.) and Military members. Whether its corrections, security, protection, patrol, investigations or another branch of L.E. our overall mission is still relative, “Protect the innocent”. If you have not heard me say it before, it’s important that this becomes your business. No, this task cannot be conducted by L.E. itself, it relies heavily on Courts, Juries, Prosecutors, Law Makers, Community Leaders, Parole and Probation, Business Owners, Child services, Social Services and many other departments. The more these entities work together, the more of a quality community you find yourself in. It’s my hope that the books of 10 provide you “a way” to do some of …show more content…
Covering these areas should expose you to valuable information I learned through trial and error over the years. Sharing experiences that have affected myself both directly and indirectly will act as a tool Leaders can utilize as a reference. Use this information to bypass some trials and tribulations you’re otherwise bound to endure while providing your team with a path less flawed. Although this is written for a predominantly law enforcement audience it should be beneficial to all Leaders. Over the past 27 years as I have worked in a variety of management capacities I’ve had over 100 supervisors. Having this type of experience has been priceless as it has taught me thousands of lessons, both what to do and what not to do. I will share and expand on a few of these throughout this book. I am hopeful you will find some useful information you can utilize in the future. If something is repeated I apologize now for it but, pay attention it could mean it’s important so take note of what’s being

    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. A chain of command establishes department’s hierarchy in which the authority members may conduct appropriate action before transferring the information/directive/order down the line of command. Failure to transmit the matter through the chain of command creates internal disorder and confusion. Such violation of the chain of command can discredit the authority of the supervisors.…

    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.…

Which means they not only enforce basic laws, they enforce traffic and vehicle laws as well.…

    Police and the Black Community Currently, the actual relationship between the African American community and the United States police is going through a bad time. The reasons for that recent civil disorders in the United States are police brutality and the discrimination acts against black people. While the election of Barack Obama as president had seemed to be a new era in American race relations; the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, made clear that nothing had changed. Many African American communities allege that the police routinely use excessive force against members of minority populations (Wintersmith, 1974). During the last years, the grotesque and routine police violence against African Americans has provoked several civil problems like the great Los Angeles riots.…

    Leadership is not about the position you hold, or the title on your door or nameplate, leadership is about the actions you take. In a high-risk environment such as law enforcement, the most essential element is competent and confident leadership. With this competent and confident leadership comes the responsibility to lead ethically. Those who possess and demonstrate ethical leadership skills are positioned to promote the ideals of legal as well as managerial professionalism (Ortmeier, Meese, 2010). As an ethical leader, you have assumed the responsibility to not only guide your crew through the good times and the tough times, you are also expected to develop your peers into leaders so that they may one day take your spot, or move on in their…
