The coroners or medical examiner are called in if the victim has died and provide the investigator or police with time of death and the type of weapon that could have been used. The laboratories examine the many types of evidence such as hairs, fibers, blood, and other body fluids, clothing, and various impressions from the crime scene (Bennett, Hess & Byram, 2007). The defense council only has contact with the investigator under the advice of the prosecutor’s office. The last step is the prosecutor’s office when the investigators have concluded the investigation. Now the case can be prosecuted, leads developed, or the case can even be dropped if the investigator and the prosecutor’s office come to an
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.

Running head: POLICE CORRUPTION IN MEXICO Societal Concerns and the Issue of Police Corruption in Mexico 4246 words Societal Concern and the Issue of Police Corruption in Mexico Mexico has a culture of corruption that starts with the police and works its way through the government.

This paper tackles the difficult topic of corruption within the Mexican police forces and the effects of the drug cartels on this corruption.

Interviews and Interrogations Policy Paper Name SEC/360 Date Instructor In the security and law enforcement industry, interviews and interrogations are a way that officers can gathers facts and information about a situation, incident, or case. For security and law enforcement officers interviews and interrogations play a key role in building and solving cases. This paper will discuss the comparison and contrast between security interviews and security interrogations, the legal issues associated with security interviews and interrogations, and finally a security organization policy on conducting security interviews and interrogations. Interviewing and interrogating suspects are two important but separate vital aspects of collecting information about criminal activity. The difference between an interview and an interrogation is that security professionals conduct interviews, and law enforcement officers can conduct both.

Private security is primarily occupied in securing physical and electronic assets, criminal and other threats, while police address a wider range of assets in addition to property, such as public peace, the criminal law, and road safety. Private security guards are usually hired by security companies or specific place of businesses, while public police work for the government. While a security guard can get a job with only having a high school diploma, to become a police officer it
Police Code of Silence Some experts will explain that people become police officers for the power and status of the job, while other say they join in order to help people but over time become cynical and corrupted by other officers. The culture of being a police officer instills a sense of entitlement to power and authority over the rest of society (The Brotherhood). This sense of entitlement breeds the police personality. That is, when an officer puts on the police uniform they also assume the role of authority that goes along with it many times commanding the obedience and respect from the public as a whole. The police personality fosters and “us vs. them” mentality that cops are always the good guys and everyone else is a potential bad guy (The Brotherhood).
The term “detective” is one title a lot of law enforcement agencies use, in most cases they are referring to “Private Investigators”. Like police officers, detectives can carry a weapon on them with a permit. They are not always on the job to discover a crime that had occurred. But if a Detective/Private Investigator can prove a crime has occurred, they usually hand their information over to the police department so arrest can be made. On some cases, detectives specifically ivestigates details of a crime that had happened, usually after a case has gone “cold”.
