The Toronto Police Service are tasked with providing impartial legal security and protection to all Torontonians without discrimination based on gender, age, race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, and disability. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom under section 15 protects all members of society, including the most vulnerable and marginalized individuals are inherently granted equal protection and benefit of the law (Randall, 2010). The absence of equality and the promotion of stereotypical and social prejudices in police practices however were questioned in the case of Jane Doe v. Toronto (Metropolitan) Commissioners of Police.

In today's modern world any use of force, whether deadly in nature or not, is subjected to the scrutiny of the media as well as the court of public opinion. Allegations of the use of excessive force by police departments in the United States continue to dominate the top news sources in the nation. However, citizens never hear of the countless incidents where officers choose to hold fire and display restraint under extreme stress, or decide to instead utilize less than lethal means to achieve their objective. Split-second decisions, even when made under ideal or perfect circumstances, are exceptionally difficult. Even well-trained officers are not consistently able to discharge their firearm, if appropriate, in the time before a suspect holding

I have interviewed retired Deputy Daniel Banks who worked for the Denver Sheriff’s department in Colorado. Deputy Banks preformed duties for the Court Services Division for the Denver City and County Courts from June 1998-June 2015. The Denver Sheriff Deputies work with the Lindsey-Flanigan courthouse as the bailiff during all hearings that involve prisoners who are in custody in Denver. The deputies also provide courtroom security to include apprehension of court ordered remands (Denver Sheriff Department, 2014).

During Mrs. Kumar's class visit to the Law Enforcement Center, Officer Hill taught the class about the ranks and regulations that exist. She explained that unlike city officers, county officers have the authority to enforce the law further across an area rather than a city officer can. For instance, if a city officer sees a traffic violation occur out of their jurisdiction, he or she cannot pull a vehicle aside unless other drivers' safety is in jeopardy. In that case, the officer could contact dispatch and inform them of the violation, so that an officer who has jurisdiction over that area can perform the arrest. Office Hill shared that these situations are frustrating because some drivers will commit minor infractions when they

Over the last several years, most police departments have been facing numerous financial challenges. The main reason is law enforcement agencies are expected to do more with less and the stagnant economy. The combination of these factors has been placing pressure on many departments to begin imposing budget cuts. Evidence of this can be seen with a survey that was conducted by the University of North Carolina. They found that 67% of police departments made some kind of budget cuts for 2011. The most severe reductions were occurring in large police departments such as Los Angeles, Atlanta and Detroit. (Delfem, 2011, pp. 199 - 205) This is illustrating one of the most pressing issues affecting a wide variety of police departments across the country. To fully understand what is happening requires: examining the situation, how they are able to interact with other agencies (i.e. state / federal) and recommending the way this relationship can be improved. Together, these elements will offer specific insights about how police departments can effectively address this problem.

The second part of the research is focused on studying the emotions and sentiments expressed by people who retweeted the Boston Police Department (BPD) tweets. The goal of this phase was to observe the sentiment among the users who were retweeting the BPD tweets. We wanted to observe the impact of BPD tweets on the users before they retweeted the BPD tweet and after they retweeted. By doing this we wanted to capture the shift in sentiment among the users, which would give us the impact of BPD tweet.

The earlier development of the law enforcement was developed by a man named Sir Robert Peel also known as the “Father of Modern Policing” (Bennett & Hess, 2007). He was born February 5, 1788 in Chamber Hall near Bury in Lancashire (Bloy, n.d.). He was the one who greatly influenced and set forth the fundamental principles of the police force. He developed an organized force called the London Metropolitan Police in 1829 that protected the people who were victimized due to high unemployment, poverty, and crime. An organization is “an artificial structure created to coordinate either people or groups and resources to achieve a mission or goal” (Bennett & Hess, 2007). The police’s goal is to protect and serve their community. Although the term of a police officer is mixed up with a peace officer “all police officers are peace officers, but all peace officers are not police officers” (Walker & Katz, 2011). The principles that Sir Robert Peel set for the police include:
