It worked, a citizen the next day came forward with information that led to the criminal’s arrest.

Investigative notes are a permanent written record of the facts of a case to be used in further investigation, in writing reports and in prosecuting the case (Hess, 2010). Taking notes is no stranger to police officers at a crime scene; many officers find this strategy to be very helpful determining the guilt or innocence of an individual. Gathering notes from witnesses as soon as possible after receiving a call to respond and continue recording information as it is received throughout the investigation, “witnesses are important sources of information regarding crimes committed in their community” (Hess, 2010). Note taking is supposed to benefit the investigation, but how information is obtained—whether the officers establish good rapport or not—can greatly influence investigative success. When taking notes officers must learn to keep it short and abbreviated, and at the same time understandable for not only you to read, but if you become ill, injured or deceased, others must be able to read and understand your notes.
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.

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.

Dangers faced by police include death, increased risk of infectious diseases, and serious and minor trauma, both physical and emotional. These dangers are encountered in many different situations i.e. apprehension/arrest and investigation of criminals, conducting vehicle stops, investigating people and crimes, protecting the public from dangerous situations or individuals, investigating traffic accidents and witnessing the carnage that often results from those accidents, responding to suicides and directing traffic. (Stone, 2013) When it comes to the future of our police departments I believe that with budget cuts, and longer working hours we will have more batches of dirty cops then we will good cops.
