In all honesty, I have never put too much thought in the idea of police forces consolidating because I never thought it was as big of an issue as it as. I was very intrigued with what I found on the internet. The first being the number of state and local-enforcement agencies that have already undergone the consolidation transition. Out of 18,000 agencies in the United States, 150 have made the change. It seems that towns and cities across the nation are all for the consolidation. Even though consolidation seems like a good idea at first, I found it to have the same recurring problem, budget inefficiently. With the many different cases I viewed online, I have found that the once estimated cost in the beginning, will double and sometimes triple
In this paper, we will examine the multi policing agency taskforce, Operation snapshot. The focus of the task force is to protect children, specifically resulting from exploitation, and child pornography. The operations have been used on three different occasions; with police agencies from all over Canada participating. We will specifically examine the police units that were involved in the operation, and the roles that they were responsible for, and how they worked together as a cohesive team. We will also be looking at the issues relating to these cases, such as issues relating to the investigation, and more importantly the issues these professionals deal with when working on cases such as these. We will take an in-depth
The increase of the municipal system, and having standards for such systems is why the police departments are like it is not. From centuries and centuries of having vague ideas about what the police officers do and why the police offers are doing what they do, the unification of the police department is just would change how we answer those questions. In the United States southern region, their use of the policing departments was similar to the north but had some dissimilar roots or causes for the change in the various cities policing departments. Reformation of the police department from very scattered policy of ideas to a nationwide acceptance of the various roots in the basic police department is revolution of the police
It is without a doubt that any police department should grow to meet the needs of their constituents. In some cases the number of police officers should not exceed the number per capita of citizens, or this rule may back fire. By this I mean if the number of citizens in any given part of a city or county outweighs the number of allowed police officers, the officer may end up with a work load much greater than he or she can handle and therefore end up either transferring to another law enforcement agency or quitting the force all together because the job is getting stressful.

communities in order to achieve goals and avoid conflicts. Racism, discrimination, and miscommunication have been the cause of countless police/immigrant community confrontations, and that in return diminishes the chances of recruiting Asian-American candidates towards a career in law enforcement.
The militarization of the police force would mean supplying them with military grade equipment and having them use military tactics ("Police Militarization"). The United States should not militarize the police force because it is not a necessary expense for a country with a lot of debt, it increases the chance of police violence, a topic that has been in the media a lot recently, and it would lessen citizen's trust in the police.
The Frontline documentary, Policing the police, makes the argument that there are many problems with police departments across the United States and uses his correspondence with the Newark, New Jersey Police Department to make that point.
After the attacks of September 11, 2001 the New York Police Department has felt the need to tighten their security around the city in order to keep the city safe. The New York Police Department believes that they can not leave protecting New York, a city that is exposed to many security threats daily up to the federal government. In tightening their security they have started to aim towards Muslims and other ethnical groups that they think are a potential security threat. The discovery of the New York Police Department’s Demographics Unit which was the department that was secretly spying on Muslims would not have been discovered and brought to our attention without the help of modern day muckraking through investigative journalism.

The principle role of police organizations is to uphold and enforce the law. Police organizations achieve this by safeguarding life and property, maintaining public order, and through detecting and preventing crime. Policing at the state level is composed of separate police organizations. At the state level we have the City or Local Police, County Sheriff and State Police, also known as Highway Patrol or State Troopers. The U.S. government gives each state the authority to self-govern so each state has its own Penal Codes and every state policing organization follows its own Penal Code. Policing at the Federal level is composed of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Federal policing agencies oversee all federal laws.
On Friday, December 2, 2016, I, Officer McDaniel #147, of Mansfield ISD Police Department, located at 1522 N Walnut Creek Dr, Mansfield, TX, was on a campus check at Della Icenhower Intermediate, located at 8100 Webb Ferrell Rd, Arlington, TX. While on a Campus Check, I made contact with Assistant Principal Brooks, Amber, B/F, DOB 8/26/1985.
Police departments have tasks of organization that is divided according to purpose, area and time. Work Assignments are given to certain groups that are divided amongst the department and have a distinct purpose that is unique from the other groups. For example; a police detective performs certain duties that are distinct from that of a patrol officer and vice versa. Each division has their own purpose to achieve certain functions within the department, to maintain effective functions within the police department. As well, area and time are also distinct among the departments. Police detectives work in different areas or have specific duties at certain times or in a certain place, than that of a patrol officer who has a specific area and
Police agencies all over the world implement different policing strategies in accordance with the purpose. Community policing is one of the philosophy in which most of the countries effectively working with it. According to U. S. Department of Justice Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social, and fear of crime (n.d). This essay critically examines the conditions, which would impact both positively and negatively on the police procedures required to implement community policing strategy in the Maldives.
I believe the most problematic and prevalent social justice issue in the United States is the contention as well as idolization of the police force. By demonizing the police force we are discouraging citizens from getting law enforcement help when they need it and making people fear the law enforcement system as a whole. On the other side of the same coin, allowing people to idolize a law enforcement official increases moral for officers who actually are corrupt. These two very different groups are now pitted against each other, causing a civil war between the citizens of the nation. Any protest of either side is now met with opposition from the other side, sometimes it gets physical and people lose lives. We need to stop this injury and loss
My ideal outcome is for more government regulation behind local police departments so that it is no different in other states and the police having the ability to have military gear in high-stress, high-stakes situations that puts the lives of citizens in danger is extremely important and should be the focus of the police force and the government. Government regulation may not be favorable among citizens, but a regulated Police Force by the federal government doesn’t mean that there is an immediate, first response SWAT/Military Police Unit on scene in one state but there isn’t one in another state. As well as that, varying training in different police units could result in varying training tactics, where one can be trained to try and not use
While this might be a good step for Chicago to take, experts and criminologists have been saying that having a larger police force cannot promise a decrease in crime. The President of the Police Foundation, Jim Bueermann, believes that it is not as simple as adding more police to fix the problem. Bueermann believes that there are other issues that have to be considered. He believes you should consider what the roles of the existing officers have been filling. Also, you should consider if adding more officers would end up causing additional stress in the communities where the stress between the residents and police are already too high. (Davey, 2016).
