Many other countries have but a single, unified police force. Do
you believe that implementing a national police force of this
type would work in the United States? Why, or why not?
REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE
QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A
MINIMUM OF 100 WORDS or MORE)
CLASSMATE’S POST
There is not a national police force in the America, where
policing is organized in every state according to the Peace
Officer Standards and Training (POST) on a local and state
basis. Having one National Police Force would not work or be
beneficial to the citizens because every state is, and city is
different and unique. The United States has around 500,000
police officers and a total of 40,000 separate police forces, over
half of which are simply one or two-man sheriffs’ offices in
small towns. The founders did not want a police state. They
knew that concentrating power in one police organization leads
to tyranny. Many citizens believe that racial injustice is simply
a part of police officers’ manner of operation. As such, in some
areas, police agencies have lost their legitimacy. Legitimacy,
according to Peak and Giacomazzi (2019), is the extent to which
the community believes that police actions are appropriate,
proper, and just.
In considering all politics is local. Therefore, local policing is
more in tune to the needs of the community they are tasked to
police. Even Federal Police, such as US Capitol Police, ATF
and Border Patrol, are constrained by their respective missions.
America it is NOT a single nation, but a Union of 50 different
‘nations,’ or states that came collectively to make a small
principal government for the collective protections of local
citizens. Each U.S. State is unique, it has its own unique laws,
justice system, and law enforcement agencies. The federal law
enforcement agencies (like the FBI) are brought in for cases
where a criminal has committed crimes in more than one State,
or has committed crimes in federal jurisdiction for example, on
a federal military installation, located within a specific U.S.
State. Police Chiefs and executives are now becoming much
more heavily involved in what is constitutional policing which
is a cornerstone of community policing and the efforts of
problems solving (Peak, & Giacomazzi, 2019). Therefore, a
national Police Force will create more problem and is not
necessary. It’s against the political philosophy of America. The
longtime director J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI was
watchful in preventing any effort to turn the FBI into a form of
national police force. The FBI is an INVESTIGATIVE agency.
It would invest too much power into a single agency. The U.S.
prefers multiple agencies, both federal and state and local, to
respond to specific law enforcement needs.
