Patrol

The whole battle started with a misunderstanding. In the mountain village, the civil patrol was responsible for defending the community against guerrillas. The civil patrol was primarily made up of older gentlemen and young boys. However, on September 9, 1982, the civil patrol mistakenly thought that the olive green uniforms of the army were guerrillas and started attacking. The army thought that the civil patrol was actually an army of guerillas and started murdering them. Montejo protected his…

The people succumbed to living every minute of every day devoted to the government. The “police patrol, [snooped] into people’s windows” completely disregarding the people’s privacy (4). Whereas, the U.S. government does not have the right to interfere with a citizen’s private affairs due to the Fourth Amendment unless there is a probable cause. Any…

Another way is to utilize interns or volunteers for clerical roles. Implementing volunteer watch groups also contributes to ensuring the public’s safety without having to spend additional resources. 7. Do you agree with allowing “advertising” on patrol vehicles as a way to raise…

Sangin, Afghanistan is a graveyard for U.S troops and Allied forces. From 2009 to 2012 no other district in Afghanistan has claimed more lives of coalition forces than the Sangin district. The United States and British troops combined have lost over 162 service members while being deployed to the area. While I was deployed to Sangin in 2010, my battalion lost nine Marines in four days during the first few weeks of the deployment. By the end of our deployment, we sustained more casualties…

means border patrol has authority over the Mexican woman. The sunglasses indicate they have the ability to watch her in the blazing sun. The jeep conveys that they can move faster to catch anyone because unlike the immigrants, the patrol officer is not on foot. Stanza I ends with “I can touch you wherever I want but don’t complain too much because I’ve got boots and kick-if I have to, and I have handcuffs. Oh, and a gun.” (Mora 1) Boots, kick, and handcuffs signify that border patrol has power…

The police officer was removed from foot patrol and begins to patrol in cars. They were given a two way radio and the citizens were told now to call the police anytime that there were an emergencies or problem. This kept the police officer from the citizens on the streets and was having them handle more personal problems inside the home. With the evolution the citizens felt that the police were no longer visitors but outsiders in their own community. This was the start of a new trend of policing…

A Case of Gentrification The reduction of black housing in the inner city of New Orleans is in a staggering position for a city having, record-setting economic growth post Hurricane Katrina. The longtime historically African-American lower to middle class warded off territories of New Orleans’ inner city, whether it may be uptown, downtown or in between are increasingly being overrun by a younger, more affluent race of white upper and middle class investors, eager with thoughts of redevelopment…

him (and innocent bystanders) in a situation where a violent criminal could easily have fatally attacked the officer or others. This is one real world example in which wearing a tactical communications device could save a life. Reduces Injury On a patrol an officer needs to be able to communicate on a cell phone, communicate on his radio, have full awareness of the environment around him (we call this 360-degree situational awareness), communicate verbally with the good citizens and the bad…

Whites created the borders, and their motivations for patrolling them are usually rooted in perpetuating white power. In contrast, blacks patrol borders as part of a “struggle for liberation”, a way of differentiating themselves and coming together.9 As Danzy Sezna says in her short essay, The Mulatto Millenium, “You told us all along we had to call ourselves black because of this so-called…

Do you actually feel safe within your own community? If you answered no, then you are not alone. Safety, something this is promised to us wherever we go throughout our community, but also a promise that can't be entirely kept. One of the biggest issues right now in my community is public protection, and this is completely unacceptable. In my community, you can't just walk outside and go about your day without worrying if something bad may happen to you. This is especially concerning for the…
