The three most important codes of ethics for a law enforcement officer is; In their behavior toward members of the public, officers will provide service when possible, require compliance with the law, respond in a manner that inspires confidence and trust, and will be neither overbearing nor subservient. I feel this is extremely important because the response time for rural areas is longer compared to suburban areas and the treatment for the individuals varies in favor of the suburban citizens.…

Not necessarily how the criminal justice system actually works, but rather how people think that it works, whether accurate or not. Expectations of a rookie cop making a difference, being helpful and full of energy are sometimes stereotyped as being cocky by the public, while being described ignorant and naïve by senior officers. “Citizens’ experiences…

Pundits and advocates alike saw the incident as evidence of a pervasive problem of excessive use of force by police against black males. In the investigative report that followed the killing, the U.S…

Summary: Two years ago, forty-three Mexican college students vanished in the city of Iguala. A ghastly case has developed and President Enrique Pena Nieto is being accused of a scandal. “The investigation is bogged down in conflicting theories, contradictory statements, incompatible hypotheses and reports of forced confessions, planted evidence and debate over what happened to the bodies” (McDonnell and Sanchez).

Bang! The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the room. A woman let out a cry of agony, as she slowly bled out over the bedspread. The snow-white sheet was turning a crimson red. The man holding the gun walked over. He looked directly into her eyes, and fired once again. The killer chuckled as he stepped over her motionless body.

In the Garner case, a felon was running away from an officer who had identified himself, and the suspect was shot in the back. Now, police need to judge if it is…
Personally, I believe that community policing happens when an officer is bonded with many citizens of a community.

Showing that they want to proactively prevent crime before it happens, makes the officer respectable, in my opinion. Knowing the citizens, almost on a personal level, is easier accomplished in a small town, municipal agency, however, it shows good character and gives cops a…
