Relationship between Private and Public Police Public police are overwhelmed; they cannot possibly protect everyone, and respond to every call in a timely manner. Private police can fill in the gaps that the public police leave, they can also do things that the public police cannot and they are not bound by the same rules. Can the public and private police have a working relationship? In most cases the relationship between public and private police is strained, to say the least. Three studies have been conducted since 1971 to determine what can be done to fix the relationship between the two (Clifford, 2004).

In some cases, critical evidence has been consumed or destroyed, so that re-testing to uncover misconduct has proven impossible. Evidence in these cases can never be tested again, preventing the truth from being
Police and Gratuities One of the biggest questions asked and talked about among police officers and police higher ranking is “Are police officers entitled to gratuities?” Many police stations have a no tolerance policy towards accepting gratuities, but other police stations don’t. According to Webster’s dictionary, gratuities are defined as “Money given in return for some service or favor, in particular.” (Merriam, Webster) The definition uses the term “money,” it is illegal for a police officer to accept money and is grounds for being terminated. It isn’t the concern of police officers accepting actual money but money as in free coffee, free food, and/or discounted prices because they are a police officer.

Police Agencies Roles and Functions University of Phoenix Police agencies have various functions that they perform. These functions include arresting criminals, interrogating individuals, patrolling neighborhoods, enforcing multiple laws set forth by the government, ministry of presence, and serving and protecting the community. Law enforcement in the United States is a complex establishment that is comprised of three levels; local, state, and federal agencies. Each level has their own jurisdiction and laws to uphold which means that the tasks performed at each level are different. If the responsibilities were limited in the community it would result in more chaos and more crime, and people would no longer seek police assistance.
