We the people of Russell Kansas find our safety, community, and families at risk! These past couple of years we have been disturbed by the drugs and festation of the people committing theses crimes and acts around us. Russell is known for our quiet country feel where are children can be safe to run and play without the worries because of our self engaging community. Since the years, we are noticing large amounts of drugs soaring through or streets in which have began to affect the unimaginable. Our concern for the safety of our wellbeing would be in better hands if there was more law enforcement to help fulfill these uneasy feelings.
In our small town of Russell, we take pride in those who are outstanding to the community and have helped better our lives. Sadly, those who have had faith put into them by their loved and trusted fellow people have lost trust and value to our town. With the lack of budget, it has become hard to keep law enforcement around since many leave and go to better paying jobs elsewhere. Don 't get me wrong, we have great police officers who do their job well but, with limited people their job is just a game of ring around the rosey. The most recient drug bust made took more time than it should because they had to gather the right equipment, manpower, and dogs to complete this mission efficiently and safely. This has later become a problem affecting our community since

Since there is limited jobs and higher crime rate it 's obvious our town is mistakenly being known for a hideout, not a small country living
We need assistance in pursuing allegations/charges against the State of Tennessee, Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Cane Ridge High School , specific staff of Cane Ridge High School, and possibly by officers of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. We are seeking to have the law changed, guidelines changed, policies changed, etc. to ensure that all students and guardians do not ever have to go through the living "hell" we have been put through again. We also want the specific wrongs against our "children", made right, and perpetrators of these wrongs punished. We demand that actions be put in place to ensure students are not used as "scapegoats", where one student is expelled on what amounts to a technicality, while another,
Prior to 1930, Caswell County had not provided a high school education for African American students. Through activism and persistence, the first high school was created in Yanceyville, North Carolina. The local white school board showed harsh resistance, so the school's principal resorted to a new strategy. To create the school an eighth grade was added to Yanceyville Elementary. " Each year a higher grade was added using the local student population.
I agree that officers have a stressful and demanding job. I think that the police needs to know how the community and the board sees them. Sometimes the truth hurts and in this case it may but they need to know. I think your idea on having officers at community events is a great idea. Showing that the officers care makes the community respect their authority more.
Nowadays some police officers continue to abuse their authority which makes the community disappointed and confuse whether or not to trust a police officer. Everyone as a community expects for a law enforcement career employee to keep us safe and away from harm. Police officers should not be wasting their time with innocent citizens, if they have to use force on the criminal they must do it in a proper way, and lastly there must be a fair case. On August 9, 2014, and incident was reported in Ferguson, Missouri.
For example, agencies have been established with the sole intent to manage drug use and distribution and technology has been exclusively developed to detect the presence of drugs. Yet, evidence has indicated that such exhaustive efforts have been relatively unsuccessful. First, it has been assumed that drugs have perpetuated violence in society and based on this rationale, it was believed that by the suppressing the pervasiveness of drugs that incidents of violence would simultaneously diminish. However, reality has failed to align with the expectations that had initially been anticipated. Research findings have suggested that the decriminalization of drugs would result in a less adversarial drug market in which conflicts have tended to arise among dealers as well as between dealers and buyers (Common Sense for Drug Policy, 2007, p. 21).
The first issue, drug trafficking has been around for many, many decades now. It is proving more than ever to be an intense problem to maintain a handle on within the criminal justice system. Drug trafficking
The most urgent problem facing society today is the growing distrust of law enforcement. Recently, there has been a rise in negative outbursts, both vocally and physically, towards the police. People are beginning to see them as being a hindrance rather than a help. My father used to be a police officer and thus has shown me I needed to always respect law enforcement. He has often told me that the job was stressful at times and he did have to make tough choices.
Problem solving is used to reduce offending in a community. It believes that crimes are caused by existing social conditions. It involves both law enforcement and the community in ways to reduce or prevent crime (i.e., neighborhood watch). The community is a very important aspect of this operational strategy. Departments need to do more to develop solutions with a partnership of the community.

Community Policing is the system of allocating police officers to areas so that they become familiar with local inhabitants. It is used to change the way police departments interact with the public, focusing on community concerns, including crimes. The idea of community policing is to work together to improve the life and quality in their neighborhoods. Community Policing emerged in the 1970’s with the goal to eliminate public disenchantment with police services and the criticisms of the lack of police professionalism (Fagin pg. 114). They identify and resolve issues which potentially affect the way neighborhoods live.

By highlighting such efforts, the media reinforces the community’s standard in opposition to all types of crime and helps build crime prevention awareness among the public. The media should be asked to publicize community events and promote public education on crime prevention through articles, public service announcements, radio shows, news programs, and cable television shows. Members of community-based crime prevention programs can begin to build partnerships with media sources by talking with reporters assigned to cover crime or community-related issues and by asking media sources for help in designing a public education campaign. Community leaders, key elected officials, church leaders, school board and Parent-Teacher Association members, philanthropists, and local celebrities often maintain contact with media sources who could be brought together to sponsor or support crime prevention activities in the
