One of the classmates who recently passed the probation as a police officer stated that he always took off his seat beat before he stops his police patrol vehicle. When the instructor heard that comment, he immediately and politely questioned whether the policies and regulations of his organization allowed him to act like that way. The answer is positively No. After hearing the statement, citizens will question whether the leaders of the police academy taught this officer to act it that way. Or his leaders allow him to act it like that. Even in front of his leader, this police officer can violate the policies and laws, citizens will question the violations of the police officers during off-duty. So this police officer further stated that his leaders never asked him what he would do after work except that he has interesting conversations on what he will do during the his days off. It is a little bit fortunate that this police officer is a fresh off the academy. The words of this junior police officer can be inferred that the leaders of the police failed to show their subordinates how to be a police officer because most of the leaders at the field of the police only care how much they will earn a year and how they can be promoted faster as well. We cannot blame on the eager promotion of the police officers due to the face that San Francisco Bay Area is huge expensive to live. Since the junior police officers can express as above stated, the leadership of the police officers will really be questioned. Hence, there are a lot of problems among the law enforcement agencies across the country.
Based on the wrongdoings of the police officers, San Francisco established the OCC (Office of Citizens’ Complaint) almost forty years ago—1982—for citizens to file an official complaint for the misconducts of the police officers. If the police officers have been making towards perfect, the city of San Francisco would not establish such office. What is the most important aspect is that this office should have been cancelled if the police forces had made great progress of their conducts. However, it is so sad that this office still exists today. That the OCC still exists today 3
proves that the problems of leaders failed to point out the misconducts of the subordinates. Actually, the leaders involve violating the ordinance.
Law ran and passed by Starbucks. He witnessed three police officers whose ranking were sergeants violating the smoking ordinance of the city by smoking next to the entrance as well as the exit of the Starbucks. He pointed out to the police officers the sign of the smoking ordinance of the city posted by the Starbucks. One of the police sergeants yelled at Law, “If you do not go away, I will use Tasers to shoot you.” Police officers are the guardians of the laws. Before enforcing the laws, the police officers should have taken the lead to obey the laws, especially leaders of the police officers. Even the police officers do not enforce all ...

ABSTRACT
Police officers play the role of maintaining law and order. This entails ensuring the safety of the society without compromising the nobility of the department. The administrator needs to exercise honesty, integrity and fair treatment to all its citizens. This is termed as ethical behavior in their jobs.
Safety is among the functions of the department. The execution of this service should ensure the public is not put at any risk. The use of force may harm the public. For that reason, police ought to be diligent on how they apprehend criminals. The principles of proportionality, minimization and practicability are addressed within with an emphasis on public support and security.
The police recruitment process is in place to allow the trainers to assess the character of the recruits. To uphold the nobility of the department, honest and diligent recruits get posted to various regions of the country. The ill-behaved cops may be punished by losing their jobs or automatic suspensions.
The adherence to legal procedures and law sections should be the driving principle for the cops. This will eradicate the chances of conflicting demands. Conflicting claims exist when the cops have a personal interest and may conceal evidence.
The department should appreciate the community role in security. The community provides information on crime hot spots. This aids in narrowing down on investigation areas making their job efficient. This may also eradicate the norm of the public fearing the cops. Such fear chokes the flow of information hindering efficiency of the police force.
Officers need to exercise discrete decision making to ensure fair treatment of crimes. Separate decision-making allows law enforcers to make precise verdicts with no partiality.
In conclusion, this paper seeks to identify and illustrate police ethics in correlation to their roles in the society. Some of the factors prohibiting their effectiveness are discussed within.
Integrity in private life
A police office should practice to abide by the laws of the state. The principle purpose for this is to ensure transparency in case of any scrutiny. Also to this, the law administration should be an example demonstrating how the society should live. It would be difficult and uncouth if police officers were found in compromising situations. The officers need not abuse any powers handed to them by the state.
According to Barker, the social status of the police in the society plays a vital role. Police officers have a master status. That state cuts across all other social positions in the society. The college student, parent, manager, security guard all relate with the officer. Therefore, there is a need to ensure the boys in blue maintain the code of conduct. Their master status gets to identify them from any other person in the community. The police officer ne.
The Police Department in Leicester is facing public outrage over sexist and unprofessional behavior by many officers. A new public relations strategy aims to regain public trust by retraining officers, implementing accountability measures like cameras, and using video releases to demonstrate progress.

INTRODUCTION
The job of leading a local law enforcement agency has always been a complex one,
requiring skills in mastering complex policy issues, developing organizational structures and
systems, managing employees, and addressing the various and sometimes conflicting
expectations of the community, political leaders, agency employees, and the news media.
1
Many experienced police chiefs are saying that the 21
st
Century has brought a trend
toward even greater complexity in their jobs. New types of technology are revolutionizing how
police departments operate, and often the challenge is to make sound decisions about how to
integrate multiple forms of technology. The widespread adoption of community policing has
resulted in community members having higher expectations of accountability and efficiency in
their police departments. National and international economic conditions have strained local
police budgets. The workforce is changing in ways that affect police recruiting and retention.
These are just a few of the challenges that must be understood and constructively managed by
today’s chief executives in policing.
In fact, perhaps the greatest job qualification for today’s police executives is the ability
to recognize and respond to the swiftly changing issues and opportunities facing them. Police
chiefs often speak of their role as being “agents of change.” Never before has managing change
been a larger element of their jobs.
Today’s police departments appear to be succeeding, at least by the measure of crime
rates. Violent crime rates nationwide are half what they were two decades ago, and many

Companies in many cases fail to properly report the amount of workers they have, their cash profits, and where their money is actually going.

Ways to Improve the Effectiveness of the Police Forcecherrywhite2020
A state is comprised of a government and its citizens. The police force is tasked to uphold the safety of the citizens. To safeguard all the people in the society, the government creates the laws that are being enforced by police officers. “They patrol the streets, issue tickets, monitor social activities, arrest criminals, and respond to emergency calls.
Interview with Investigator Sean De La Rosa from the Mission Poli.docxnormanibarber20063
Interview with: Investigator Sean De La Rosa from the Mission Police Department.
Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?
As Peace Officers, we have taken an oath to uphold the law and serve the public. That being said, it is still a people’s business and discretion can play a part in the performance of duties. For example, two scenarios of a vehicle pulled over for speeding. One scenario is an 18 year old driving daddy’s BMW and blew 15 mph over because he’s “just cruising” with a mouthy attitude. Most Officers will usually give a traffic citation since he’s able to afford the citation. In the second scenario, it’s a single mother of 5 children that is doing 15 mph over because she needs to rush home to greet her children getting home by school bus and she needs to get dinner started. This second scenario is where most officers will get categorized as “Letter of the Law” and “Spirit of the Law”. Officers that see justice as totally blind will say that she was speeding regardless of her reason so she is getting the citation. Officers that see the total circumstance may issue a warning depending there are no other issues during the encounter such as no driver license or outstanding warrants.
Ethics comes into play because these decisions, especially in smaller cities, give the police department as a whole a reputation of either community oriented or aggressive. This plays a part with the police department being able to solve crimes because if the department is viewed as aggressive, nobody will come forward and give information on criminals or illegal activity that occurred within the city so many cases remain unsolved or prosecuted due to lack of witness or victim's willing to come forward. If the Police Department is more viewed as community oriented, civilians are more willing to come forward and give the information needed to solve crimes and even prevent crimes. Also, the Police Department has to be viewed as ethical such as no perception of attitude arrests, applying force as necessary and helpful with victims during and after encounters as well. Without this trust, the bond between the public and the police department will be damaged and will cause the department to do the reversal of the above mentioned perceptions and the public will react accordingly thus why Ethics is important.
The Character of the individual Officer is formed by their upbringing, culture beliefs, the camaraderie between themselves and the rest of officers they work with. It is usually said that no matter what you do in life, all you have is your name; it is up to you on how your name will be remembered. Some officers are short fused and are always complained on because they just lash out verbally at civilians when the civilian only asked a simple question. Some officers are able to calm down violent or aggressive civilians with verbal judo, there’s a caveat that not all situations can be resolved with de-escalation through ve.

5.

IV.
Arguments:
A.
The cost of war is rising by the minute. The Obama Administration proposed a budget of $553 billion dollars for the department.
B.
Instead of spending all that money on war, we should be investing that money on health care and education.
C.
This conflict has caused the lives of many innocent civilians. NATO openly admitted to have killed innocent civilians, due to misguidance.
D.
The rebels fighting against Gaddafi are in need of military supplies. I don’t think that it is a good idea to help unknown rebels. We helped the Afghanistan rebels when they were fighting Russia. After they were victorious, they later became the “Taliban” and used those weapons to attack the US.
E.
Getting involved in foreign wars is not a good idea. The US has been involved in many foreign wars lately. These wars have been in foreign countries where Islam is the prominent religion. Libya is one of these countries. The involvement of the US in these places, builds a bad reputation worldwide and among the Muslim community.
V.
Refutation:
A.
Gaddafi’s actions against the civilians of Libya are totally wrong. Killing your own people is bad and therefore, we should help the rebels overthrow him.
B.
Gaddafi has been in power for many years. In fact, he holds the record for most years in power in a single country. This type of power can potentially lead to corruption and mistreatment of civilians.
C.
The people of Libya deserve to have democracy. They should have the right to elect their own leader.
D.
If Al Qaeda is threatening NATO and Libyan mercenaries then we should help them fight terrorism.

Title: Rebellious Libya
Thesis: The United States should not get involved with Libya’s conflicts.
I.
Introduction:
A.
Start with the question, what is war? Explain briefly.
B.
Talk about the wars of the United States.
C.
What were the outcomes of some of those wars?
II.
Narration:
A.
Give some background on Libya.
B.
Explain how Col. Muammar Gaddafi became the leader of Libya
C.
Talk about why the citizens of Libya want to overthrow Gaddafi.
D.
Explain why the people feel that the United States should get involved in Libya’s conflicts.

1.
Cost of war.
2.
Using money in other Departments other defense.
3.
Killing innocent civilians and soldiers.
4.
Helping unknown rebels
5.
Involvement of foreign wars
IV.
Arguments:
A.
The cost of war is rising by the minute. The Obama Administration proposed a budget of $553 billion dollars for the department.
B.
Instead of spending all that money on war, we should be investing that money on health care and education.
C.
This conflict has caused the lives of many innocent civilians. NATO openly admitted to have killed innocent civilians, due to misguidance.
D.
The rebels fighting against Gaddafi are in need of military supplies. I don’t think that it is a good idea to help unknown rebels. We helped the Afghanistan rebels when they were fighting Russia. After they were victorious, they later became the “Taliban” and used those weapons to attack the US.
E.
Getting involved in foreign wars is not a good idea. The US has been involved in many foreign wars lately. These wars have been in foreign countries where Islam is the prominent religion. Libya is one of these countries. The involvement of the US in these places, builds a bad reputation worldwide and among the Muslim community.
V.
Refutation:
A.
Gaddafi’s actions against the civilians of Libya are totally wrong. Killing your own people is bad and therefore, we should help the rebels overthrow him.
B.
Gaddafi has been in power for many years. In fact, he holds the record for most years in power in a single country. This type of power can potentially lead to corruption and mistreatment of civilians.
C.
The people of Libya deserve to have democracy. They should have the right to elect their own leader.
D.
If Al Qaeda is threatening NATO and Libyan mercenaries then we should help them fight terrorism.
VI.
Conclusion:
A.
Summarize my arguments.
B.
State why we should not get involve with Libya’s conf.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

One of the classmates who recently passed the probation as a polic.docx
1. One of the classmates who recently passed the probation as a
police officer stated that he always took off his seat beat before
he stops his police patrol vehicle. When the instructor heard
that comment, he immediately and politely questioned whether
the policies and regulations of his organization allowed him to
act like that way. The answer is positively No. After hearing the
statement, citizens will question whether the leaders of the
police academy taught this officer to act it that way. Or his
leaders allow him to act it like that. Even in front of his leader,
this police officer can violate the policies and laws, citizens
will question the violations of the police officers during off-
duty. So this police officer further stated that his leaders never
asked him what he would do after work except that he has
interesting conversations on what he will do during the his days
off. It is a little bit fortunate that this police officer is a fresh
off the academy. The words of this junior police officer can be
inferred that the leaders of the police failed to show their
subordinates how to be a police officer because most of the
leaders at the field of the police only care how much they will
earn a year and how they can be promoted faster as well. We
cannot blame on the eager promotion of the police officers due
to the face that San Francisco Bay Area is huge expensive to
live. Since the junior police officers can express as above
stated, the leadership of the police officers will really be
questioned. Hence, there are a lot of problems among the law
enforcement agencies across the country.
Based on the wrongdoings of the police officers, San Francisco
established the OCC (Office of Citizens’ Complaint) almost
forty years ago—1982—for citizens to file an official complaint
for the misconducts of the police officers. If the police officers
have been making towards perfect, the city of San Francisco
would not establish such office. What is the most important
aspect is that this office should have been cancelled if the
police forces had made great progress of their conducts.
2. However, it is so sad that this office still exists today. That the
OCC still exists today 3
proves that the problems of leaders failed to point out the
misconducts of the subordinates. Actually, the leaders involve
violating the ordinance.
Law ran and passed by Starbucks. He witnessed three police
officers whose ranking were sergeants violating the smoking
ordinance of the city by smoking next to the entrance as well as
the exit of the Starbucks. He pointed out to the police officers
the sign of the smoking ordinance of the city posted by the
Starbucks. One of the police sergeants yelled at Law, “If you do
not go away, I will use Tasers to shoot you.” Police officers are
the guardians of the laws. Before enforcing the laws, the police
officers should have taken the lead to obey the laws, especially
leaders of the police officers. Even the police officers do not
enforce all of the ordinances of the city, does it mean that
police officers have privilege of violating the city ordinances?
As the leaders of the police officers, the sergeant should not
have threatened to use Taser when citizens point out the
mistakes. The president of the US works for the citizens
because he or she is elected by the citizens. Are the sergeants or
leaders of the police officers higher than the rankings of the
president? Are the leaders of the police officers offered the
privilege to violate the ordinance? The leaders of the police
officers forget to serve for the citizens so that the regular police
officers forget too. This story again proves a common problem
that leaders of the police officers have been failing on reflecting
on themselves if they selfishlessly live up the laws they enforce
by showing the examples to the lower ranking officers. If the
leaders of the police officers truly lead without selfishness, one
of the classmates would not have stated that he would take off
his seat belt before stopping his patrol vehicle.
Because the leaders of the police force fail to truly coach their
subordinates, the media can report on the bad sides of the police
officers. Some police officers may argue that the news is fake.
3. If the leaders of the police truly spend time taking care of their
subordinates as well as 4
reflect on themselves, the media will stop reporting inaccuracy
news on the police officers. After reporting on fake news for
several times, the citizens will not trust the media. However,
based on what the citizens had experienced with the police
officers, they would believe the news media were reporting the
true news. The news media should not have been blamed instead
that the leaders of the police officers should have been blamed
by failing to take care of their subordinate by really asking what
their plans are for their days off. Therefore, IT IS TOO LATE
TO STOP THE INCIDENTS WHEN THE PROBLEMS OF THE
POLICE OFFICERS ARE REPORTED BY THE NEWS MEDIA
OR BY THE PUBLIC.
One of the army values is selfless service. Leaders of the police
officers really need to have the passion of selfless service by
coaching their subordinates 24/7 how to obey the law first.
Police officers are 24/7 even they are off-duty because the
police officers are paramilitary.
What it is extremely challenging the leaders of police officers is
how to win the trust of the citizens by truly demonstrating the
correct way to their subordinates and lower ranking officers.
Furthermore, government shouldn’t be run like a business; it
should be run like a democracy. (Denhart 2015 P1) Effectively
as well as efficiently performing with productivity or running
government like business will extremely be easy for the police
officers to forget the nature of their duty. The classmate is so
intelligent to perform the duty that the leaders completely
ignore his mistakes like taking off the seat belt before the patrol
vehicle fully stops. Such sugarcoat instead of really pointing
out the mistakes will ruin the leaders as well as this junior
police officers in the long run. If it is not that way, the leaders
of the classmate should have pointed out his mistake. Due to the
failure to point out the mistake by his leaders, the 5
4. classmate will feel proud of stating that he would take off the
seat belt before stopping his patrol car.
The seat belt comment of the classmate reflects on the failure of
the leaders not showing the correct procedures for the police
officers. Famous Chinese saying is, “the slant of the top of the
horizontal bean affects the lower horizontal beans.” The one of
meanings of this quote indicates that the wrongdoings of the
leaders of the police officers will reflect on the lower ranking
police officers. If the leaders of the police officers truly care
for their subordinates, the news media won’t fabricate any fake
news to cover the bad images of the police officers.

28. change. Even as they strive to standardize operations, most
police leaders recognize the fluid context in which their
agencies operate. They also understand that there are forces to
which police organizations must adapt and evolve in order to
remain effective in a changing world. It is those forces that
drive organizational change and create new models for
conducting the business of policing.-Harvard Kennedy School
The largest and biggest fight that leadership in Law
Enforcement has is with the News Media. The countless
number of news articles that have been purposely manufactured
or altered in order to fit a narrative have gone from far and few
between, to often and problematic. The fact is that Police
misconduct brings the viewers to the TV, and the News Media
organizations have an obligation to their stockholders to
produce ratings. Police Officers seem to be the collateral
damage to a new media cycle that needs viewership.
Fake news and social media posts are such a threat to U.S.
security that the Defense Department is launching a project to
repel “large-scale, automated disinformation attacks,” as the top
Republican in Congress blocks efforts to protect the integrity of
elections.
One of the Pentagon’s most secretive agencies, the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is developing
“custom software that can unearth fakes hidden among more
than 500,000 stories, photos, video and audio clips.”The
RollingStone
Multiple Police agencies around the country have also started
suing popular news organizations for deformation of character
lawsuits due to poor and fabricated news stories that shed
Police Officers in a bad light. It is not argued that if a Police
Officer makes a mistake that is a mistake of heart, or of moral
judgment then they should be punished. Police Officers that do
make mistakes of policy or law are punished quicker and faster
than their civilian counter parts. Even now if you were to
research convictions of police officers you will be bombarded
with news about racial injustices regardless of what you type
29. into the search engine. This again is based on what articles will
receive views based on clicks and viewership. The relationship
between the popular news media and what has been deemed
“Fake News,” stories is not hard to understand but regardless of
why it happens it still does not make it justifiably moral. The
utter fascination with Police and Media has been documented
frequently and throughout decades.
Western society is fascinated with crime and justice. From
films, books, newspapers, magazines, television broadcasts, to
everyday conversations, we are constantly engaging in crime
"talk". The mass media play an important role in the
construction of criminality and the criminal justice system. The
public’s perception of victims, criminals, deviants, and law
enforcement officials is largely determined by their portrayal in
the mass media. Research indicates that the majority of public
knowledge about crime and justice is derived from the media
(Roberts and Doob, 1990; Surette, 1998). Therefore, it is
imperative to examine the effects that the mass media have on
attitudes toward crime and justice. The purpose of this research
is to examine how the media influences audience perceptions of
police effectiveness and to examine whether media consumption
is related to fear of crime and punitive justice attitudes.-JCJPC
The main reason that the media fight is the largest fight that
leaders of Law Enforcement have enough to deal with on a daily
basis and dealing with false narratives can be a lose lose
situation. Some of the current false narratives have sparked
some of the largest political movements of our time. Movements
that whether you believe in their cause or not and clouded in the
fact they stem from a largely false narrative produced by
popular new media outlets.
I do not believe anyone is doubting how hard Police work can
be but when obvious and blatant lies can be spread by New
Media outlets before they are researched in order to be the first
with the new flashy news story then everyone suffers. The fact
is in the end those that trusted the news and believed in
something false end up becoming the true victims by doubting
30. the ones trying to help them in the first place. Not all news
media stories are a lie and not all Police Officers and liars but
we all suffer when any one of those is true.
