The Local Structure and Organization of the Police Force
Introduction
Communities have a complex police structure, because there are different levels of policing agencies. Even though there are different levels of policing agencies, the manner in which they arrange them are all the same, because they have the same goal. The police organizations are hierarchical and they are outlined with separate departments, units, and structure (Cascio, 2010). The components work jointly to form a completely functional law enforcement agency (Cascio, 2010). A few examples of local police organizations are county and city agencies. The hierarchal structure of the police force is set up in order for officers to work together and guarantee security at a local level. Police agencies are arranged very similar to one another, but the distinction is in their authority (Cascio, 2010). Local police agencies constitute the biggest number of law enforcement officers in the United States (Cascio, 2010). The police departments are divided into levels that are watched by separate organizations.

This designated force understands better the fallacies and crimes that are in their areas. This permits them to prioritize and focus what laws are most vital in their communities. The police framework is the most decentralized organization, described by an extraordinary level of conflicting and duplicating jurisdiction (Grant & Terry, 2008). Although each community is permitted to operate its own police department, none of the communities may prevent state or federal officials from carrying out local investigations into crimes over which they have power (Walker & Katz,
