with suspects and members of the community, showing then that cops are there to help and not the bad guy, that most think they are (Sierra-Arevalo, 2015).

In reviewing Vollmer professional policing principles, Community policing, CompStat and PEPPAS there is no comparing the different concepts. In my opinion each of these concepts are more detailed analysis of each other. More or less related to the continuous understanding and development of policing as a whole. Each of these models interaction with each other in the development of policing the public and learning vital position of police officers in society. For example, Vollmer seen that…

Community oriented policing is a shared program being instituted in more and more police departments and communities across the nation. The responsibilities of the citizens of the community and the patrolling officers are linked together to create a healthy relationship between the two and to have a safe community. This type of policing also allows officers to use more useful tactics to control crime and at the same time engage the people. The thought behind this shared program is to get the…

The “Pattern or Practice” claim made within this letter addresses the use of deadly force the Albuquerque police officers uses during the officers everyday shifts. The investigation, which the writers of the letter contacted, concluded with, “… we have reasonable cause to believe that APD engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Section 14141,” (page one).

Most police departments adopt “To Serve and Protect” because it’s easy to remember, but different police agencies have different needs and capabilities. A mission is designed to express the organization's goals for themselves and their communities. When comparing the simple mission statements…

Community policing is beneficial for both police officers and the community because the officers put in the effort to fix any problems in the community in addition to enforcing law (Pollock, 2017). This type of policing produces a relationship between the police department and the residents throughout the community (Pollock, 2017). The focus is on social issues that ultimately result in crime being committed (Pollock, 2017). “In community policing initiatives, police officers were involved in…

The relationship between the police and the people they protect has been a major topic of interest for as long as there has been a police presence in the United States (and around the world). In the United States officer involved shootings and uses of force have divided the public and police alike. On one side of the argument people complain about police having too much unchecked power. People argue that this power leads them to use excessive force in encounters with citizens (during or after…

Community Policing Community policing was developed in attempts to deal with aspects of traditional policing models which were not addressing specific problems within a community. Community policing focuses on the relationship between the police force and the community they protect, more specifically it aims to strengthen the partnership between the police and community (Stephen Schneider 2015 pg 339).
