1) Police departments requiring police officers to obtain an Associate's degree or higher prior to employment is necessary and fair. Police should be required to complete college courses, as it informs them more. According to Hall and Lambert, there are several factors that influence the need for higher edication of officers (Hall & Lambert, 2007). Officers need further education, due to the information presented in sociology courses and other courses that require them to think strategically and without bias. Courses of humanities such as sociology and psychology presents a curriculum that expose students to information about different types of people and cultures (Mayo, 2006). These classes assist with understanding the community in which an officer works in. Another reason officers need advanced education is to offer ideas and techniques that can be used by officers to research. Statistic courses are essential to studying statistics and patterns of behavior; which can be used to create new procedures. These strategies that are taught in statistics can teach officers to investigate and analyze criminal behaviors (Hall & Lambert,2007). It is vital for officers to be knowledgeable of research procedures and to be able to read the results of studies conducted. Sociology focuses on ways to study and understand humans. The terminology in sociology classes help to reduce stereotypes, stigmas, and bias towards a particular group of people. Reducing stereotypes can decrease the instances of racial profiing and other programs such as "Stop and Frisk" (Hickman & Reaves, 2006). REPLY IN YOUR OWN WORDS 125 WORD COUNT APA FORM 2) At this point in time, I do not agree that it is fair and or necessary to require frontline supervisors such as sergeants and or lieutenants to posses associate and bachelor degrees. The monetary investment that would be required for obtaining an associates or bachelors degree would not get a good investment with a poor return considering what a police officers base salary is. In a study conducted from 1982 to 2003 law enforcement had the smallest yearly additions to their budgets than other tax funded operations (Doerner, 2012, p. 74). According to research by Doerner (2012), "average starting salaries for entry-level officers were 1.2% higher in 2007 than in 2003 after adjusting for inflation"(p. 74). Due to funding issues from shrinking tax collections, many police agencies have had to resort to not buying and or upgrading necessary equipment as well as cuts in training (Doerner, 2012, p. 75). With law enforcement being a tax funded operation, it will always be at the mercy of taxpayers as well as the mechanisms in place to generate tax revenue, as such it will always be in a very basic level of the employment field when it comes to salaries and benefits.

THE IMPORTANCE OF POLICE TRAINING AND IT'S AFFECT ON COMMUNITIES

Michael Daniels

enforcement as well as corrections personnel are constantly exposed to numerous forms of corruption. They are confronted with less than ideal conditions or outside their comfort level. Researchers have attempted to explain why these individuals succumb to corruption calling it functional explanation. In other words, corruption is fundamental in society’s struggle to implement ineffective laws. Many types of deviance violate the Code of Ethics these officers were sworn to uphold in addition to it being illegal. These include perjury, bribery, excessive force beyond legitimate police functions, misuse of authority, etc. (Barnhart, 2010). In the correctional system, there has always been a continuous issue with corruption. Although there are many reasons why corruption occurs, however, the vast majority agree that the main reason why officers get involved with corruption is of personal financial gain (McCarthy,n.d.). Corruption in the Police Department is also a problem that affects law enforcement officers as well as the citizens in the community. It is said that power unavoidably leans toward corruption and although there is no reason to assume that officers are any different from other people, society considers corruption a bigger offense when it involves law enforcement personnel, leaving the citizens with a sense of betrayal. "Most studies support the opinion that corruption is widespread in police departments. The risk of corruption for police is that it may void the goals of the department and may lead to misuse of authority increasing and producing more crime instead of discouraging it (Analysis of Police Corruption,n.d.). Recommendations on addressing Police and Corrections Corruption Prescreening potential officers Although potential officers are interviewed and given psychological screenings prior to being considered for the position, it is recommended that a more in depth background checks and psychological screenings is administered (White, 1999). Community involvement The community as a whole should get involved with their local law enforcement agencies. The police agency has the task of monitoring their own officers, however, the support and assistance from its community is encouraged. The community may establish review boards that can keep an eye on the police agency (Analysis of Police Corruption,n.d.). Ethics Training Ethics training should not only be offered prior to employment but throughout the officer’s career. In certain departments as vice and narcotics, it has been determined that corruption is higher. Ethics personnel should monitor these departments regularly in an effort to pro-actively prevent or minimize corruption (Barry, 1999). Merit and Incentive Pay It has been noted that when officers are offered incentive pay for whistle blowing corrupt officers, the rate of corruption is decreased. In addition, when officers are comfortable with their rate of pay, merit increases, e.

Runnin head: POLICE AND CRIME 1 POLICE AND CRIME 2 Police And Crime: Rough Draft William Hodge English 122 Jennifer Chagala Police should be effective when it comes to their work. There is the need for police officers to achieve their proper and officially sanctioned goals, such as when it comes to things relating to crime and maintaining law and order. Police officers are more than the crime fighters. They are conflict manager traffic controllers, and service providers among other things. Most people perceive these people to be only crime fighters, but this partially part of their work (Niederhoffer, 1967). There is more to policing than only to fight evil. Fighting crime is just partial work of real policing. Real policing is much more. The role is inescapably complex. This paper explains how the members of the public shall enjoy the police service and high quality security provision if they understand the various services, departments and activities that police officers must practice in the areas of their jurisdiction. Enjoying police services are possible through effective strategies the police and other security departments will implement to improve the level of security. Below are some strategies that will make police effective; hence making it possible for the public to enjoy the services they are providing: Police training Police training plays a significant role in helping to ensure effectiveness of policing and attainment of the desired goals. Moreover, through training, police officers are equipped to serve and protect the public. This is through gaining knowledge and skills that are needed to serve the public in a better way. There are shortfall in conduct that has been determined in some police officers. This shortfall in the conduct can be addressed through training officers. The fear that persists when it comes to policing can also be done away with through training. Criminal activities and ensure security There are different types of criminal activities that people engage in. Among the criminal activities are theft property theft, identity theft, assault (physical assault, sexual assault), murder, burglary, receipt of stolen goods, false pretense, forgery, and arson among others. This list of criminal activities is very long. Police officers have to ensure those caught in the act of carrying out these activities as well as those suspected are caught and brought to justice or punished. This will help to bring in the element of deterrence in other people. Police and disaster Natural and man-made disasters usually occur and result in many loses among people. Disasters are now frequent and their severities have increased. Police officers are called upon most times to help deal with these disasters (Ostrom, Parks, Whita ...

In week two, we considered the internal and external pressures associated with change within the law enforcement profession. Continuing with this example we will consider/propose actions that can be taken to reduce resistance to change with the law enforcement profession. Across the country, crime analysts are compiling statistics that record and identify trends in crime. In theory, law enforcement managers can use these statistics to determine the best way to disperse the personnel within the agency to address specific crimes. There is an inherent flaw with this method for managing the delivery of police services to the community. The implementation of accountability programs are often thought of by management as a means of increasing officer productivity and motivating otherwise disinterested officers. The associated problem with the use of accountability programs are that law enforcement officers learn how to manipulate the statistics without truly accomplishing the goals of the agency. Subsequently the officers who learn how to manipulate these accountability systems are looked upon as the example. As a result, law enforcement managers must identify or develop proven methods to motivate officers to buy in to the vision and goals of the organization. Contrary to the traditional methods of policing, accountability programs “adopt the managerial techniques and administrative structures of private for-profit corporations, emphasizing cost control, efficiency, decentralization of management and the cutting back of the public sector, while creating a market or quasi-market mechanisms, contracting out, performance indicators, risk assessment, and audit procedures.” (Chan, 1999) As managers continue to implement these types of programs within the law enforcement profession, officers who typically enjoy a considerable amount of freedom are now confronted with a micromanagement style of leadership. This often results in feelings of resentment, hostility, and distrust as management is pitted against front-line employees. To offset this hostility, officer’s gradually fall into several distinct categories. Those who produce at lower-levels, those who learn to manipulate the statistics utilized by supervisors to measure performance, and those who continue to work at previously established levels. Each of these situations creates a challenge for managers to deal with in terms of motivation. It would not be plausible to motivate each group of officers ...

1 Beyond Oversight A Problem-Oriented Approach To Police Reform

April Knyff

A BLUEPRINT FOR ENHANCING INVESTIGATIVE EXCELLENCE POLICING AS A TRADECRAFT Staff Sergeant Dan Jones Policing today is referred to as a profession. The desire to move off the front line, out of a uniform, seems to start earlier and earlier in today's police membership. At some point in the last 20 years the current focus of police organizations moved from investigations to leadership. Not leading investigatively, but leading people. There are PhD programs in policing leadership, management, and other forms of getting personnel to believe in and work toward achieving organizational goals. American businessman Harold Geneen once said, “Leadership cannot be taught. It can only be learned.” In regard to the foundation of policing and the role of investigative excellence, I provide the following submissions. Unlike leadership, investigations can and should be taught. A lack of focus on investigative tradecraft has stunted our ability to learn superior investigative skills, and as a result we are not serving the public in the best manner possible. Let me clarify one thing, policing is not a profession, it is a tradecraft. Undergraduate or graduate degrees do not make you a better investigator. There are no university programs that make a great investigator. Policing may not be a profession, but in no way does that say or imply that police are not expected to be professional. It simply means there is an on-the-job learning component, or apprenticeship. During the police officer's career, it is during the time on patrol that a police officer is taught the skills necessary to effectively fulfill his or her role. I cannot emphasize enough how this very important component of police work is being overlooked. The rash of retirements, people quitting to move on to other jobs prior to retirement, and the desire of members to get out of frontline policing as soon as possible, results in a lack of skilled investigators. A three-year member as a patrol training officer has not yet reached the “journeyman” stage in policing and therefore is at a disadvantage when asked to teach the important skills of investigations. This lack of proper tutelage in the initial stages of many young police officers' careers has a lasting ripple effect on the entire service, and we are definitely seeing this in the quality of our investigations today. The public demands that we be adequate at investigations; I assert we should strive for investigative excellence. Police organizations, as well as the investigating police members, are liable for inadequate police investigations as set out in Hill vs. Hamilton-Wentworth. It is time we arm our police officers with the investigative skills and abilities needed to do the job they have been sworn to do. The police officer's tool belt should not only contain a sidearm, CEW, and handcuffs, it needs a working knowledge of the Canadian Criminal Code, interviewing techniques, warrant writing, photo .

Regardless of the undertaking, an agency must conduct its work by ensuring there is a coordinated effort between all the actors. UNIT V STUDY GUIDE Police Administration BCJ 4701, Criminal Justice Organization and Administration 2 UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title In recognizing the responsibilities of an agency, one would be wise to understand law enforcement history to have a better idea of what progress has been accomplished. Long before the establishment of structured law enforcement organizations, there was a need for citizens to be protected that originated with the establishment of men preserving peace by standing guard at a town’s border, controlling lawless activity, and even announcing the time of day and weather. These activities were primarily reactive in nature, and because there was no salary involved, these individuals were subject to corruption and not respected in the community. Even after the adoption of police agencies in the United States in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, the limited use, low pay, and political meddling did little to enhance the police officer’s public image. Since the inception of law enforcement, several steps have been implemented to increase professionalism. These improvements include recruiting and hiring minority and female officers while providing sensitivity training and leading agencies away from traditional policing to a more community-oriented concept. Community-Oriented Policing The community policing core concepts strive to increase community partnerships so that problem-solving can be accomplished by utilizing the strengths of the police and the community together, rather than individually working on the same issues. This proactive concept must be accepted and utilized at all levels for there to be a permanent solution on community problems. Officers, community leaders, and citizens have expe.

Fast Airlines responded to Richard’s request by agreeing that he was one of the airline’s most valuable employees and that his performance evaluations confirmed that he was as able as ever to perform the duties of flight engineer, but that company policy required that he retire.

William worked for a utilities company, Power, Inc., in an installation and maintenance position which sometimes required that William use man-lift equipment and climb utility poles. William was obese, and the utility company had safety regulations that required that employees who worked in William’s position not weigh more than the load limits of the equipment that was regularly used in that position. William weighed more than the safe load limits of the equipment used in his position, so his supervisor made sure that the job assignments given to William did not require him to use the man lift equipment or to climb utility poles. As part of a regular workers’ compensation insurance review, the insurance company for Power, Inc. determined that William’s weight presented an unreasonable risk of injury if he continued to work in the installation and maintenance position, so William’s supervisor advised William that he would have to lose weight in order to continue being employed by Power, Inc. Although William tried to lose weight, he was not able to lose enough to satisfy the insurance company. William said his inability to lose weight was due to the fact that he suffered from a lack of self-confidence and that he had never been able to control his weight. When William did not lose the weight necessary for him to perform his duties safely as determined by the insurance company, he was terminated.

1. In the first paragraph, describe some of the challenges Chinese immigrants faced (please choose different ones and find a direct quote)? Chinese immigrants faced many challenges. They faced challenges in their homeland like “unemployment, high taxation, growing population pressure, and natural disasters such as flooding” (Lee, p. 4). The people that were most affected by these difficulties were usually the poverty stricken and those with little to no voice. When reading about Chinese immigrants the Push-Pull theory was extremely apparent from the beginning of the chapter. The first paragraph sets a tone on what Chinese people (especially those who were poor) thought of America and the possibilities of wealth and opportunities it contained. The “push” factors that lead Chinese immigrants out of their homeland was their oppressive government, unemployment, political turmoil, and pressures that came with the growing population. To understand the “pull” factors that lead Chinese immigrants to reach for America, you did not have to read very far because Lee makes it easy on you by making his very first sentence in chapter 1 state, “the Chinese characters for “America” consist of the compound “mei” meaning beautiful, “guo” meaning country. Therefore, regardless of dialect, the Chinese call America “beautiful country” (mei gok in Cantonese, and mei guo in Mandarin)” (Lee, p.1). Many Chinese immigrants settled in Hawaii and California. The Chinese called California “gold mountain,” and this could be because there was actual gold found and also because of the opportunities for work and a possibly a new life where anything was possible (Lee, p. 6). The immigrants that came from China during the period of 1840 and 1900 were mostly poor and illiterate men who were laborers. There were about two and a half million people who left China and settled in places like Hawaii, California, Canada, Australia, and so on (Lee, p. 4). Once in America, Chinese immigrants soon learned that the land of opportunities and beauty was a lot harder to come by. Lee states that, “although their search was for gold, many ended up in coal mines, railroad construction, and service work (e.g., as cooks, laundry workers, and shopkeepers). Chinese pioneers began to establish Chinatowns, either by necessity or by choice, and started to recreate and reproduce a perception of community,”(Lee, p. 6). White Americans seemed open to the idea of cheap labor and took full advantage of the fact that Chinese immigrants needed not only passage but jobs, so they entered into work/passage contracts or “a form of forced slave labor to afford their passage to Southeast Asian countries, the Kingdom of Hawai’i and the mainland United States,” (Lee, p.7). According to Lee, Chinese laborers were exploited and treated harshly, much like African slaves were.
