Officer

Everyone seems to have an opinion as to whether or not our country’s police officers are an organization of corrupt, racially prejudiced, bullies. Some will adamantly swear that this is the case for the majority. Still, others maintain that there have been a few isolated incidents that have been sensationalized to the points of distorting the true situation. One thing is clear, people are passionate on both sides of the debate. I have my own reasons for my feelings regarding our country’s…

you must remember that this is NOT an accurate representation, nor does it portray how EVERY officer is. A lot of people, however, will watch videos like these and jump to the conclusion that all cops are crooked. So how do we stop police brutality and corruption? The Washington Times looked into this very issue and those interviewed for the article focused on one are for improvement: training. Officers need to understand their role in society as one of a protector of society and enforcer of…

A police officer to have a college degree is debatable. I am not sure how to take on this because it would be too late to issue it. The reason is that those with college degrees expect a higher pay. They went to school learned everything about body language, emotional support, and etc. It would also not be fair to give a graduate a high pay when the person who does not have a degree works harder than the graduate student. Having police officers have a degree does encourage people to get a higher…

The recent phenomena in regards to police actions and duty is getting out of hand. Authorities are not performing their job as required. To be precise, police officers continue to abuse their given authority by acting in a brutal manner in order to control detained suspects. Many people have been victimized because of campus police and other high authorities’ senseless attitudes on how to handle the law. What citizens have to realize is that racial profiling does happen to innocent people who…

Professionalism and the Non-Commission Officer Professionalism and Soldiering are very unique qualities that all Non-Commission Officers must possess during their military careers while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The author of The American Heritage College Dictionary defines the term professionalism as the, “Professional status, methods, character, or standards of an individual” (1997, p. 1092). Hence it is very paramount, for Soldiers who serve as leaders in the military to…

personality of the first officer (video 1) was joyful, full of life, happy, and flamboyant. The second officer (video 2) was also joyful, approachable, and looked friendly. Skonlnick (2010) also speaks of personalities that police officers have when they are at work. One of the personality that is mentioned in the article is “isolation”, police officers are in some ways isolated from the rest of civilian population do to differences of opinion that develops from being a police officer (Skolnick,…

using excessive force, police racism, and police officers just blatantly abusing the power of the badge. Not only that, but the television is also filled with shows and movies displaying police going out and catching murders, getting into car chases, and finding their true love in the stereotypical lifetime movie. Sadly not every police officer can live the day to day life of everyone’s favorite police superhero. As the daughter of a local police officer, I have the great advantage of being able…

Ch. 3-1 Police officers are the main government agents that are accountable for implementing the law. However, “the police are also accountable to the rule of law, and the law acts as a mechanism to control and guide police behavior. (Roy Roberg, 2015)” Police officers are accountable to the rule of law, by providing public safely in ways that include following procedures. These procedures include rules that the “government must abide by to ensure that certain rights enjoyed by the public are…

The History of the Army noncommission officer dates back to 14 June 1775 with the birth of the Continental Army (FM 7-22.7) PG1-3. In the Beginning of the Continental Army there was little to no standards to what a Noncommission officer duties or responsibilities were. In 1779 the duties and responsibilities of NCO would come to be after inspector general Friedrich Von Steuben wrote a regulation that standardized NCO duties and responsibilities. The regulation was named, Regulations for the…

Non-commissioned Officer, and growing up, I could remember the jokes about Officers and the other branches of the military. By the time I arrived at Fort Huachuca in 2009, I had been in the U.S. Army for almost ten years and never really had an opportunity to work with Warrant Officers. Sure, I had work with two Warrant Officers for about one month in 2003, and one Warrant Officer in my advanced Korean class in 2005, but that was the extent of my interactions with Warrant Officers. With my…
