Relationship between Public and Private Police CJS/250 Robert Krause July 22, 2012 In the world of security, there exist two distinct branches that work toward the same goal of safety for the people in each community. These two branches are public police and private police. Public police are easily seen, they are governed by a set of rules that helps protect them as well as the population. Private police is a growing industry. In some communities they hold many of the same powers as the public police and are intended to uphold the same standards as their public counterparts.
This is accomplished by serving their communities and by protecting all persons against illegal acts. They must maintain public order, reduce and prevent crime.

Community Corrections Paper CJS/230 June 10, 2012 Community Corrections Paper The ultimate goal of community corrections is to provide safety and protection to the citizens of the community by supervising and providing resources to offenders in custody of community corrections.

Self- Assessment 1 43779689 Community Police Forum (CPF) PYC3706 Assignment 2 I spend time at the local CPF it consists of organisations and Institutions such as schools , ratepayers associations, businesses and religious institutions, working in partnership with the local police. The purpose of a CPF is to create and maintain a safe and secure environment for citizens living in the CPF’s area. The CPF develops yearly community safety plans, which identify priorities and needs for the area.

The Relationship Between Private and Public Police Paul Button Student Axia College University of Phoenix There are different types of police work within the United States. There are public police officers and private police officers. Each classification of officer has a different job description, requirements, and paid by different organizations, but ultimately perform the same job functions.

The term police is defined as “a body of persons making up such a department, trained in methods of law enforcement, crime prevention and detection, and authorized to maintain the peace, safety, and order of the community” (Farlex 2011).
Police officers give and receive orders from the dispatcher. They must be able to clearly communicate their location, their estimated time of arrival and other important information to dispatch. The dispatcher must be able to clearly communicate addresses, times, cross streets and road conditions for the officers in pursuit to arrive quickly and safely to the scene of the crime or crisis. Two-way verbal communication between the dispatcher and the police officer can be a matter of life and death in an emergency. When an officer speaks to a public citizen who needs to be instructed about official expectations verbal skills are highly important.
