Law enforcement occupations

Living where you police An issue that is in the administrations hand is, would it be effective for the police officers to live in the area in which they patrol? The reason this comes to question is because research has shown that residents that live in the area that the officers’ patrol, have an attitude toward the police officers (Allen & Michaux, 2013). What causes this problem? When talking to the residences, they believe that when the police officers that do not live in the area in which…

Though, some segments of the population see law enforcement in a negative light. The major differences in how people view law enforcement have traditionally been most clearly seen along demographic lines. One statistic showed, “68% of Whites and only 18% of Blacks expressed confidence in law enforcement,” (Casandra & Ray, 2013). However, more people are starting to fear law enforcement for several reasons. One of the main reasons people view law enforcement negatively is because of the images…

People often believe police are terrible people, that they give out false accusations. That may be the case with some cops, but most police are there to help you. Mike Zellner, a retired policeman was one of those men who wanted to help people. He wanted to do everything he could to make people feel comfortable. Everyone loves people who help out and always have a smile on their face; Mike is one of those people and has done many heroic acts. He takes risks to help others, has heroic traits, and…

preserve public safety and officer well-being. A stop and frisk is a non-intrusive police stop and pat-down based on the reasonable suspicion in relation to a crime that has happened, will happen, or is in the process of being carried out (Cornell Law School, 2017). Stop and frisk situations are highly common and the reported instances have increased by approximately 7% annually (Hovhannisyan, 2006). However, the approach is highly controversial because it operates primarily on officers'…

of the greatest challenges law enforcement faces in today’s age is public scrutiny. Law enforcements actions are being placed under the proverbial microscope on an unprecedented scale and only from a single view point, what the media chooses to display. Often times the public will make snap judgments against law enforcement based solely on what they see from a 60 second news clip. While law enforcement cannot control misguided views from media sources, law enforcement can influence the reaction…

I found this week's readings in Crime and Deviance interesting especially the broken window theory. How one broken window on a building invites more broken windows then as a result of the building looking run down it brings the neighborhood down and people start moving away. The broken window theory requires for police to crack down on crime and even punish the smallest crimes such as sitting on milk crates on the sidewalk or dodging subway fare. It was kind of disappointing to see that they…

As you mentioned 11 September 2001 was a shocking event for America. A lot of agencies were working around the clock to determine the reason behind such an attack. You expressed the area of intelligence not sharing valuable information. This does create a huge gap and can cause areas to get missed by security professional. A security professional can have many different positions. Each position may have a different responses needed. If information is not shared, security postures may not…

I also feel that colleges like Augusta Tech College in Augusta, Ga where I live, should have a way of becoming one with law enforcement organizations to grow the community patrolling, that include officers getting hands on experience with local law enforcement organization on establish relationships with the people in the communities. Even if they do not work in that community is the fact of getting to know people and building…

Sirens, crimes, police, and robbed banks,it has been all heard before, it sounds cool but it's not. Think about it, what if it happened to people around that are close.

Police, there’s not enough of them ,and if there were how would they watch over the city? Also no one likes people breaking into people’s homes and stealing…

The Kansas City Preventive Patrol Experiment was established as a strategy to deter crime arrest offenders and reduce the fear of crime. It began on July 19, 1972, and ended September 30, 1973. In doing so, its objective was to get feedback on the results of the preventative method for the routine patrol. The effort of the process created a reluctance in the police department in refers to using an experiment to determine the purpose of a patrol. While in the process of attending daily…
