94 Words1 Page

I think you might have mixed directed patrol 's definition with proactive policing. Directed patrol focuses on concentrating police presence in area 's where crimes are prevalent, while proactive is where police actively tries to arrest criminals before crimes are committed rather than from receiving an call about a crime. After possibly clearing up any misconceptions about the two kinds of patrols, which would you find the most useful? From your discussion board post, it sounded like you meant that proactive patrol was more effective, is that still the case our have you changed your

  • Police Equipping Police

    744 Words  | 3 Pages

    In discussions of passing the Michael brown Jr law which equips police officers to wear a body camera, one controversial issue has been that most police brutalities are not caught on tape or no witness sees what exactly happened, and who started what. The source argues that some cases of police brutalities that are caught on tape police does nothing to handle the case. My own view is that police officers should be equipped with body cameras so in case of police brutality cases they can know exactly what happened that day so there will be no questions asked for the police officers. According to article “Pass the Michael Brown, Jr. Law to begin equipping police with body cameras” that the case of Michael Brown Jr in Ferguson where Officer Darren

  • Technology In Policing

    1819 Words  | 8 Pages

    Technology and Communication systems are critical tools in policing. The rate of technological change in recent years is so fast that I personally believe that is safe to predict that in a mere few years from now, current technology will be substantially improved if not obsolete. Technology is constantly changing the way police departments operate in many ways. When I first started in EMS 20 years ago, I had intended to use dispatching as a gateway into policing (instead of Emergency Medicine.) Back then, Computer Aided Dispatching was ground breaking technology, GPS did not exist, tracking of units was done with paper, graphs, whiteboards and bulletin boards.

  • Primary Role Of Policing In America

    975 Words  | 4 Pages

    Policing has been in America since the newly discovered continent was still inhabited by the English. At this time, policing was used as a method of damage control. Colonists would be punished publicly: the ducking stool, stocks, branding iron, and the gallows. Not only did these embarrassing and harsh punishments punish the offenders but also taught the remaining English colonists how to behave properly – if one performs acts similar to the acts of those who are being punished, similar punishments will follow. At this time, policing only worked due to a community census and the willingness of the citizens to help.

    They have to gather knowledge of the crimes in the area and what the underlying causes of the social problems is. They must create a plan that works to deter crime, and assess the progress of those plans to see if it works or what needs to be changed. Because it is still a newer approach, all departments should (if they already haven’t), create a community policing division that focuses on what is going on in their community around them. Officers need to build trust between themselves and the communities they serve; which means, responding to the calls that are considered “non-emergency. This will help the community not only build trust, but hold the officers more accountable.
