On the 16th of February 2018, I participated in the ‘Walk in Their Shoes Program’ and completed a watch-house shift at the Moonee Ponds Police Station. I reported to Acting Sergeant Jessica GRAHAM who was my supervisor for the shift and worked alongside Senior Constable Michael BECKER. These members provided me with insight and information on what a typical watch-house shift would entail.
Similarities between the roles of a PSO and police member include; their strong focus towards safety, demonstrating a high level of communication, building community engagement by establishing rapport with people in culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, deterring anti-social behaviour, dealing with people impaired by drugs and alcohol and responding to incidents and emergencies.

Senior Constable BECKER explained the entire process that was required to complete the report. A statement was obtained from the victim giving a description of the incident which included the location where the assault occurred, approximate time, date and if the victim knew the offender. Photo evidence of the victim’s injuries and broken reading glasses were then taken to add exhibits of evidence for the report. After all information was collected a LEDR MK2 crime report was then completed including a detailed narrative of the assault. After experiencing this process, it became clear of the minimal workload required with the PSO role and differences compared to the workload, duties and expectations of a police

The House Taken Over, a Short story by Julio Cortázar, and The Fall of The House of Usher, a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, Both have a very similar goth type themed plot. Julio Cortázar published his story in 1946, while Edgar Allen Poe’s story was published in 1839. Although both stories have many similarities, they also have many differences.
Police Officer Jones, in full uniform, was walking the midnight shift in a high-crime area at approximately 2:00 AM and is approached by a civilian who told Officer Jones she had been robbed and beaten by someone wearing a red shirt and white pants. The victim’s shirt was blood soaked from a severe laceration to her head and lip. She said the perpetrator was wearing a ski mask so she was unable to determine the gender/sex of the individual, as well as the race/ethnicity. However, she was able to inform Officer Jones that the perpetrator was approximately 5’8” tall and had a gun. The perpetrator stole her wallet and was

Law enforcement (police) subcultures have specific set of moral values and a certain mentality exhibited by those in law enforcement. It’s always the public against the police so they form an alliance for supportive reasons. However, people may believe police subculture is breaking down. Police subculture is breaking down because it is inconsistent with the formal morals and values related to the culture and that police are not the same as each other in their qualities and attributes. Examining ethics and its relation to the police subculture is important to help delineate not only the grey area of ethics but also the grey area within which the police operate (McCartney and Parent, 2015). For example, police officers are known to defend their own whether its something right or wrong. However, if another officer feels that the situation interferes with their morals, then it becomes inconsistent with the other officer’s

The Military and a police agency are very different in many ways, although the rank structure and how workers are managed in each system are very alike. You have the rank structure which is really similar, and you also have the checks and balances of how things are handle when it comes down to pay and management.
