Police have responded by trying to limit such recordings when they feel that they interfere with police actions. The fear that is most present in law enforcement is that these videos will cause officers to change how they behave in a life or death situation. To combat this, officers are now receiving training to deal with being recorded. The only upside to these videos, according to Johnson, is…

Distilled over time to the concept of ‘police culture’, this…

form. Problem-Oriented Policing(POP) is the strategy in which police discovers the problems and responds to it. Herman Goldstein is known as the father of problem oriented policing after his academic work was published.
