Peel introduced the idea of officers patrolling “beats” to maintain a visible police presence in different communities. Peel borrowed organizing police operations from the military which included hierarchical organization, uniforms, rank designations, and an authoritarian system of command and discipline. These forms of policing still exist in American police administrations today. Peel also uses these nine principles: (1) The basic mission for whom the police exist
Law enforcement agencies today still patrol the streets with the goal to prevent crimes. Public approval and cooperation were the two principals of effective policing. Peel stated that police should perform duties upon public approval and must secure the cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to maintain the public’s respect (Larrabee, A. 2012). Police need to understand the different cultures which can be accomplished by training and education.
Police Department Organization Frank Gordillo CJA/214 January 5, 2012 Gilbert G. Otero Police Department Organization Law enforcement has evolved rapidly since the times that citizens could take the law into public hands by policing their own. Even through many changes over the years police organizations in America still use a military style of policing which was developed by Sir Robert Peel back in 1829. This military style of policing is not the only component that makes a policing agency, there are many components that form organized policing agencies and each component is important to making law enforcement successful. This paper will describe the various types of police agencies at the federal, state, and local level and how each is organized. Also this paper will identify the principle role and functions of police organizations, their roles as it applies to the law, and also identify the major organizational theories associated with policing.
Abstract This paper reviews the organizational subsystem and subsystem tasks of modern police department. Why these tasks must be grouped into like subsystem functions to be effective. It also, examines how the police organization must adhere to a chain of command in order communicate. The role supervisors, management and the administration must take in delegating authority and methods to monitor its misuse or abuse. How well developed organizational policies and procedures guide the use of police employee discretion to ensure the philosophy of the department is met.
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.
PREVENTION OF JUVENILE 1 Prevention of Juvenile Justice Kimberly Burrows CRJ 301 Juvenile Justice Farrell Binder April 21, 2011 PREVENTION OF JUVENILE 2 Juvenile delinquency has a major impact on society in America today. Juvenile delinquency has been increasing over the years. I will discuss the history of juvenile justice and the varying types of prevention, detailed analysis and interventions designed to prevent juvenile delinquency. I will give a comprehensive list and weighing of alternatives, both pros and cons to the interventions/strategies proposed. I will also give a prediction of how juvenile justice prevention and intervention strategies will be handled over the next 2 decades.
Law enforcements key purpose is to keep order and deter criminal activity in this country. In history the system of American police was something learned from Great Britain and adapted by America. In the past the first ideals of policing were controlled by the able-bodied men and young boys who were part of the first Europeans to venture to our lands. This was mainly a defensive motion as it was used to defend themselves from the natives to the lands that did not wish to share their home (Schmallager, 2009). As time went on and the natives became more settled and peace was more successful, policing became one of the primary duties of the Justices of the Peace.
Since evolution bring about change it stands to reason that the principle role and functions of the police would change. Among the many changes was the role that the police department would play in regards to the law as it applies. As America grew various types of police agencies were developed at the local, state, and federal levels. With the growth of many agencies the roles and functions of the police department would, in some cases, narrowed the barriers in solving crimes. When viewing “The idea of police role, function, purpose, or mission in society requires us to think beyond the technical and operational aspects of police work, and consider, if you will, the philosophy of policing, and/or more generally, the place of legitimate authority in society.
Many police officers have good ethics. Ethics are “the practical, normative study of the rightness and wrongness of human contact.” (Depsey, 2005) There are basic ethics which are just “broad moral principals” and there are applied principals which focus on the specific applications of the basic ethics. When an officer swears into the police department, they usually have a code of ethics that they read or swear to. These usually include their duties and what they promise they are going to do with or for the department. Some departments have ethics training classes.
Our law enforcement community has been confronted with an array of challenges. The critical challenges facing our agency over the next three to five years are community policing, the use and implementation of Body Worn Camera and recruitment and retention of new deputies. These challenges which face all of law enforcement is the need to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in an increasingly violent society, while ensuring that the applicant pool is sufficient to meet the needs of our community. This issue has the potential to overshadow nearly all other considerations. With nationwide attention on the issue of community policing, most agencies have already begun implementing new tactics and strategies to work more harmoniously with
