First world examples will also be used in elaborating just how important and necessary federal law enforcement agencies are in today’s day and age, and just how much people of today take these agencies for granted. Federal Law Enforcement Agencies and How They Impact the World When societies were first created, it was an absolute necessity to have rules, laws, and other regulations that have a sole purpose to maintain law and order. Otherwise, the society would simply fall apart. As time progressed and technology improved, the laws that were first put in place were obviously revised and changed to match with society’s changing ideas. In order to maintain this sense of law and order, agencies and other organizations were put in place to maintain law and public order related to matters affecting the country
He moved his career forward and joined the Joint Gang Task Force where he worked with a whole new group of individuals who shared the exact goals and ideals to the letter.

Subcultures of Policing Subcultures can be defined as “the cultural values and behavioral patterns distinctive of a particular group in society” (Subculture, 2015). This means that there are certain behaviors that set members of a group apart from others.
Community Policing At a time of economic crisis, joblessness and homelessness, in addition to the many other damnable factors plaguing the minds of many fellow Americans, it is essential that police departments across this nation provide the highest quality of police services through varies community oriented policing projects and not merely arrests. Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies in which supports the use of partnerships and problem solving techniques to proactively engage in the deterrence against crime. Further, it is a philosophy with a primary goal at making the community and the police allies or partners in the war against crime(The Police and the Community, pg 35). Because of such essentiality,
Aberdeen wanted to get rid of the loneliness on the job for officers. They thought team policing would help get the police to be more effective. In 1963, the Aberdeen team policing was changed to a new style of policing. However, in America in the next few years, some police departments tried the team policing style. It was plagued with problems from the start.
Unit 4 Assignment: Constructing a Strong Argument Elizabeth Eckert Kaplan University There is a current state of unrest between police and the communities in the St. Louis area. These communities should develop outreach programs lead by city leaders, enhance police training, and increase community support by the citizens. This is an informal and also a persuading statement.

is Criminal Legislation Karen Elzy, Blake Edwards, Shawanda Dixon, Florencio Ocampo University of Phoenix Criminal Law CJA354 David Harrison September 19, 2011 Criminal Legislation As laws are created, society views them and abides by these laws no matter how harsh or lenient they may seem. Through the creation of two new laws our team will explain how these new laws will not only save lives but also highlight how these actions promote a reckless behavior. Such actions should not be considered tolerable within community standards because these acts will not only result in the death of a person but also destruction of private property. Laws such as the three-strike law and medical marijuana are considered abusive or ineffective because one law contributes to an overcrowded prison population whereas the other law contributes to the misuse of medical marijuana. As society continues to evolve several acts have become an issue, which our team has reason to believe laws against sexual offenders and controlled substance are either too lenient or controversial causing these two laws to become modified into a harsher version.
With the recent decision to militarize departments across the country, the truth and the responsibility that comes along with this oath has diminished. Multiple cases of police brutality in the past few years have lead citizens to mistrust the people who are supposed to be watching over and protecting them. As said in the article, “War Comes Home,” “It’s time for American police to remember that they are supposed to protect and serve our communities, not wage war on the people who live in them.” Over the years, police departments all over the country have become militarized by arming officers with military grade weapons and vehicles. The addition of these weapons and vehicles is unnecessary and has caused citizens to fear officers instead of trust them, citizens have been stripped of many rights written in the Constitution, and has lead to fatal accidents because officers do not possess the training required to use the military weapons being provided. In the first sentence of the Oath of Honor, officers say they will not betray the public trust.
Controlling Police Brutality The police have served an integral part in society as out protectors. Throughout the years, however, scholars as well as we citizens have begun to question the use of force, racism and internal corruption as well as other forms of misconduct by our officers of the law. The excessive use of force by police officers persists because of overwhelming barriers to their accountability. For instance, when police do get in trouble, it is normally a slap on the wrist, a lecture or loss of a vacation day as it stated in the article “Good Cop Bad Cop.” This fact makes it possible for officers who commit these violations to escape punishment and then often repeat their offenses. Every report of abuse is often met with denial or explanation of why the abuse was necessary instead of taking any real action like a suspension or removal of their badge in most cases.

Gun Control In America guns have been a part of the country’s society since it’s birth. Throughout history, the citizens of the United States have used firearms to protect the nation, protect their families, to hunt for their food and to engage in sporting activities. The issue of guns and gun control takes on a proportion of extreme magnitude. Weighing the rights and liberties of the individual against the welfare and safety of the public has already been a unstable balancing act, in which will continue over time. In the United States, gun control is one of these chaotic issues that has both sides firmly ingrained in their positions.
