Nearly 12 percent of today’s police force are made up of women and approximately 20 percent are represented by ethnic minorities. In 2000, about 11 percent of all…

I chose to evaluate and study chapter six because it discusses the overall job of police officers, but it also contradicts several ideas people have about the actual job of a police officer due to false perceptions through media.

He taught me that there are several components in the criminal justice system, the judicially (the judges, federal judges, state judges). It is constructed that way in every single state.…

Police officers play a substantial role each and every day, allowing them to be key factors into keeping the community safe day in and day out. Many do not realize just how important police officers really are, and how not only tough but also demanding their job is. Everyday officers are faced with dangerous, frustrating, and heartbreaking situations. Therefore, once given the opportunity to interview a member of Law Enforcement, my initial response was to interview one of The Fitchburg Police…

My personal experience with a police officer was different than I thought it was going to be. I used to live next to a K9 unit police officer and my first thought was he is going to be a real mean person. When I got to know he wasn't like the media put K9 units as, he was nice. He showed me his personal camera that he wears to keep him safe from lies. Also from the media is how they leave the facts in the back and bring up race and being brutal to the person. A quote from Alexa Morelli, an…

When you make a forceful entry into a house to arrest someone, you may be killed or even accidentally shot the wrong person. 3. Increase scrutiny and…

and appropriate. Although police officers must strive to abide by all the rules and regulations, it does not always happen that way. Even the most formalized of agencies face discrepancies between their formal policies and informal practices.
