The Miami Dade Police depart is currently preparing for the Democratic-Republican National Convention. With proper research, training and an open mind individuals the MDPD can properly plan and execute the DRNC. The actions that should be taken to encourage new ideas from the front line officers in the department to improve crowd control tactics is collaborating with other government agencies and real like scenario training.
Major Louis Warren should contact different government agencies such as (FBI,CIA ,Sercet Services) to collaborate and help generate new ideas for the front line officers. The other government agencies can help train the MDPD to make them prepared for the DRNC conference and other similar mainstream events. Collaborating with different government agencies will educate the MDPD and help generate new ideas and tactics that the PD does usually use.
The final thing that needs to be done is live trainings. The MDPD front line officers need to be places

When new tactics are presented and seem logical and well thought out tactics should be tested on smaller controllable crowds. This way the MDPD are able to measure how effective the idea/tactic is. Testing the tactic out at a small event will allow the team to see if the tactic will allow the front line officers to control the crown, and the pitfalls of the tactic. To add, testing on a small crown before using the tactic on a big mainstream event can prevent a major crisis.
Since people are becoming wiser and new technology is being invented. The MDPD should create a team where their sole purpose is to create and research new idea to help enhance the Miami Dade Police Department. This team will keep the employees aware of the new trends for rioters/criminals and current police tactics used. The knowledge behind what is going on in the streets is important to keep the MDPD safe and beneficial to the
By appropriately judging the needs of the department and city as a whole Chief Davis was able to make a better received change that united the city as well as the department. This is counterintuitive to me as I would think that an internal focus would be better for lasting change but in this case the needs of the city and department dictated outreach and sharing of ideas. Chief Davis embraces one of the most fundamental aspects of a police executive, reaching out and securing support/resources required for successful performance (Cordner, 2016). Filling the role of Chief includes taking on the role of the political go mediator concerning the community/government and the police department itself. Chief Davis must garner support from the city who at this point thought of the police as an “occupying army” rather than an intricate necessary part of a successful thriving Lowell community.
Although, the Rixton Police Department has poor leadership the majority of the officer in the police department are excellent police officers and perform their duties professionally. There are two separate groups are referred to as cliques. There is a minority of six that is always causing problems and have their way of doing things in the police department. These six minority officers view the current police rules as military-style policing. These members of the minority cliques make it apparent that they do not care about the community, one talks about collecting guns and cracking people over the head without knowing what kind of call the officers are answering.
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
Training was not only provided for officers but also for community members. The Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy wanted officers to be prepared for all situations and community members to be able to help officers and help themselves in emergencies. The more efficient use of city services and new technology helped CAPS to be fully established as a respected community policing initiative. In an interview about the CAPS program reported on the American Bar’s website, Richard Daley says “New technology is helping police and community better analyze crime problems. We are using technology to strengthen the partnership between police and community, and to help us work together on identifying and solving crime problems in our neighborhoods.
1st Choice Interview: MPO-III Shelton Brown knowledge of the Gang function, Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety, Intelligence Function and planning & research is very impressive. Also, Brown skills as a Field Training Officer, Street Crime Officer and his involvement with the Faith Base Community will aid in the development of assigned personnel under his leadership. Brown was able to articulate the furtherance of the Agency Mission by challenging officers to be resourceful by using community sources when addressing crime which is consistent with the Community Policing Philosophy of our agency. In addition, Brown understands the challenges our agency will face in the future and suggested that our agency prepare for those challenges by engaging the community in the problem solving process.

During her Tedx Talk, she often talks about 21st Century Policing and how it should be standardized in general. In addition, she focuses especially on the first pillar: building trust and legitimacy. The commissioner see community policing not as an expression, but as a philosophy that must be woven into a police organization. She recognizes that there are two groups in society: the police and the citizens. To fix this, the police need to involve the community, not just deal with it.
While not on a scale anywhere near the events ASAC Kowenhover and Chief Belmar were in charge of, the community I police has been in a crisis of its own. In recent years the precinct I oversee has been subjected to brutal gang violence. There have been seventeen gang related homicides, many of the victims, teenagers, have resulted in federal prosecutions. Weekly meetings with members of the FBI Gang Task Force, HSI and my agency have helped develop trust and eased coordination with the continuing investigations. Each agency has a role and cooperates fully with the other agencies.
Police brutality happens, but not all offices take part in it. The questions that should be asked is; “what actions takes place before police brutality occurs?”, and what is the government doing in response
On September 11th, 2001, the United States witnessed the deadliest day in law enforcement when 72 officers were killed while responding to the attacks of the World Trade Center. Due to this attack, impacts and demands for change devastated law enforcement. This overwhelming attack redirected priorities to the United States, our government, and our law enforcement agencies. Homeland security, information systems, and security related implications became the forefront of change for state and local policing. Not only have tactics, and trainings been changed since this event, we have also established new measures have been written and passed; these would include the Patriot Act and Homeland Security.
We see that with the large number of law enforcement departments across the United States unitizing the same paramilitary structure that there is little ability for those that are in the lower brackets of the structure to make changes or even at time use their own judgements when challenging events take place (Hill & Beger, 2009). There is a requirement for the upper levels of these brackets to be fair, ethical, and educated to make the correct judgment calls for those that are in the lower brackets of the
Better training will have the officers aware of what to do if they are put in a
It is used to deter people from committing criminal behavior, interrupt crimes that are in the process of being committed, and position police officers in positions for a fast response
Although some people may challenge that diversifying police officers will not make a difference in the relationship with communities, police departments mirroring the diversity of communities may mend tension. Notably, the lack of minorities in law enforcement derives from distrust between minorities in communities and law enforcement. In detail, with more policing predicaments emerging, such as police brutality over the recent years, minorities have been more hesitant to join police force due to their
Police Brutality is an ongoing problem and existent concern in the United States and should be resolved immediately. Law enforcement must function as an element that consists of organized and civilized officers. The presence of police brutality is becoming more of an issue as society grows. The problem posed by the illegal exercise of police power is an ongoing reality for individuals of a disfavored race, class, or sexual orientation. Police brutality must be stopped so that police do not forget who they are serving – not themselves, but the public.
