Abstract First Responders often face life and death situations. The public expectation is that when they arrive on scene these men and women will be able to take quick action and resolve the issue at hand. More often than not First Responders are armed with little or no information prior to arriving at a scene. Once there they take fast and reasonable steps to control the situation. However, the public sometimes do not understand the outcome of such calls. The reality is that a person might die…

Crime is an ever-lasting present like death. Crime rate rising is a very serious problem in the country. The role of a police officer is simply to protect the citizens. Police cannot prevent crime from happening they enforce law they cannot predict when or where a crime is about to happen but help reduce crime. Crime prevention is a process to reduce crime in a given area. Therefore citizens should not depend on the police one hundred percent to prevent crime from happening because no matter…

Do you get upset when people criticize the job you love; the job that you have worked so hard to excel in? When people see the blue lights flashing and sirens blaring, rushing through a red light; they just think, “Oh they just did that to get through the light because they did not want to wait.” What people do not know is that every time those lights come on, it could be the last thing they do. Police officers put their life on the line everyday for people who cannot even say so much as a…

It may seem as if America has changed since the 1950s. Woman can vote, gay rights, etc. However in terms of racial issues America hasn’t changed that much. In 1950 schools started to become integrated and this caused riots to start throughout America. Not only were riots a major factor in 1950 but also racial profiling and the difference in income between ethnic backgrounds. Although we are not living in the 1950s it is clear that history seems to be repeating itself. There are clear…

Weapons of War on the Streets of America There once was a time when police work consisted of investigation, gathering evidence, and making an arrest based on that evidence. Today, the role of police officers is much different. Many people living in the United States are now fearful of police officers and for very good reasons. Reading the news daily, one is sure to find a story involving the murder of a civilian by a police officer. Sadly, this is becoming more and more common with little being…

The police are the frontlines to investigate and determine if a crime has been committed before it can enter into the criminal justice process. It is up to them to protect, investigate, and respond to various service calls. Therefore, police discretion is the very essence in deciding the best course of action to take that will allow for the most desirable outcome in each unique situation to support community goals. For example, discretion is exercised when an officer pulls over a traffic…

Ignorance has no color. Just because your black does not mean you are a victim, and just because you are white does not mean you are racist. Racism is an unpleasant fact, along with hate crimes. I could site several references to render this point, but I would like to reference a recent case, which is the Michael Brown vs. Dean Wilson. Do you believe that Wilson, the white police officer killed Michael Brown because he was black? The media as in the community along with the nation felt that…

Most times private security officers are only required to have a one state background check, drug test, and obtain a FOID card. The training that a public police officer must obtain is much more extensive. The typical training and screening usually consists of an extensive background check, psychological exam, physical fitness test, and the applicants must also have a minimum level of college credits. As time has went on private security companies are realizing that the need for better…

On August 9th, 2014, Michael Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were walking in the middle of the street when they were approached by a police officer by the name of Darren Wilson. With there being altered stories explaining what happened next rather than choosing one side of the story we can agree that an altercation occurred and it led to the unfortunate death of eighteen year old Michael Brown. Because of the differing stories and videos online, I will not focus on whether I feel like the…

5.12 a. The president of a home health care services firm. A president of a home health care services firm would have many concerns to contend with. Particular in a people oriented field, home health care is a taxing occupation which can lead to burnout and early attrition. Hilliker (2007) reported “that 30 percent of home care nurses were dissatisfied with their current job” (p.1). Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment are factors which lead to attrition…
