It allows the police departments to take proactive law enforcement action normally before the gang gets an organized structure. The gang can or may range from a loose knit group of individuals who hang around together and commit crimes together, to a formal organization with a leader or ruling council, gang colors, gang identifiers could be such as tattoos, and a gang name. In the textbook on page 145, “Islands in the Street: Urban Gangs in the United States, it says that the functions that gangs fulfill or motives for joining a gang is to possible to escape a broken home, but many members that join still interact with their families. So that must not be the only reason in some cases of why people join gangs. It also say its because of money, drugs, woman, to commit a crime, and for protection because its better than the police.

The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police.” – Page 140 Then again, the government doesn’t really need to spy on you using your smart TV when the FBI can remotely activate the microphone on your cellphone and record your conversations. The FBI can also do the same thing to laptop computers without the owner knowing any better. Government surveillance of social media such as Twitter and Facebook is on the rise. Americans have become so accustomed to the government overstepping its limits that most don’t even seem all that bothers anymore about the fact that the government is spying on our emails and listening in our phones calls. “In a place like this, the danger that there would be a hidden microphone was very small, and even if there was a microphone it would only pick up sounds.” – Page 141 Drones, which will begin to take to the skies in masses this year, will be the converging point for all of the weapons and technology already available to law enforcement agencies.
Reactive Patrol Response CJS/210 Reactive Patrol Response One of the patrols that are police departments do is called a reactive patrol. A reactive patrol is a patrol that is when a police officer responds to specific requests to calls and follows up investigations. An example of this is when an officer responds to a domestic violence call. Someone has called either the police station and requested the officer, or they called 9-11 which would bring a response from an officer. As far as follow up to investigations, when a crime is committed and there are loose ends on the investigation, they may have to do a follow up, and that is when the reactive comes into effect.
CAPS unite police, the community, and other city agencies together to identify and solve neighborhood crime problems, rather than simply react to their symptoms after the fact (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy, 2010). CAPS use a variety of problem-solving strategies and new technology to help police and residents target and fight crime (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy, 2010). Chicago Police Officers continue to enforce the law and respond rapidly to serious crimes and life-threatening emergencies. CAPS recognize that the police alone cannot solve the city's crime problems alone. CAPS recognizes it takes a combined effort of police, community, and city government working cohesively in identifying and solving neighborhood crime problems in the City of Chicago (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy,
Police brutality is an ironic phenomenon. It is the job of the police to keep citizens safe. Yet, too often in the history of the New York Police Department, the very police officers assigned to protect the citizens engaged instead in acts of brutality against them. This paper looks at the history of police brutality in New York City, as well as the racial overtones that often accompanied it. Police brutality in New York is as old as the New York Police Department.
Criminal Profiling August 13, 2012 CJ230 Police operations and Administration Criminal Profiling Criminal profiling defines as the investigation of a crime with the hope of identifying the responsible party, based on crime scene analysis, investigative psychology and behavioral evidence analysis. Many claim that criminal profiling is a science or an art. Criminal profiling’s use helps law enforcement make positive evaluations. Behavioral scientists and criminologists use the criminal profiling technique to examine criminal behavior. In the future criminal profiling will go further to help investigations and help in the predictions for future actions of criminals.
From the law they passed, the police wouldn’t be able to respond. It is said by the Detroit police that 98% of the alarms they respond to are false alarms. That’s an ok law to have but what if the robber was still in the house and the officers are waiting to see if it is true, those few minutes can cause someone their life. We need to edit that law to make it to where the police may respond but if it is a false alarm then a small penalty ticket of 10 dollars is given, that’s not an amount that is hard to pay. This will have people making sure it is surely a robbery going on instead of calling because of noises.
An integral component to the infrastructure of government is law enforcement. In recent years, police actions, particularly police abuse has come into view of a wide, public and critical eye. While citizens worry about protecting themselves from criminals, it has now been shown that they must also keep a watchful eye on those who are supposed to protect and serve. This paper will discuss the types of police abuse prevalent today, including the use of firearms and recovery of private information. I will also discuss what and how citizens’ rights are taken advantage of by the police.
