The current El Paso Police Department is a prime example. A recent slew of investigations by local news stations in the Sun City revealed several “corrupt” cops who had overstepped their boundaries, or had hidden behind their badge to commit crimes. And sometimes, that “thin blue line”, as one officer called it, can divide an entire community— or even a police force. “There will be corruption everywhere you go, but of course it depends on the city that you are in,” Officer Doe said, as he drove through the city. “We are human too.
William Bratton walked into a number of challenges when he was appointed Commissioner of the New York Police Department in 1994. He stepped in to police a city that had been experiencing high levels of crime and that housed an agitated public eager for its needs to be met. His task of reducing crime, and effectively improving the quality of life for the citizens of New York City, was made more difficult due to the constraints imposed by working in the public sector as well as the organizational inefficiencies and demoralization of the department that he inherited. The NYPD was desperately in need of an overhaul internally if it was going to achieve any sort of success in improving crime control. First of all, and most importantly, was the
Government In times of Crisis Mayor Rudy Giuliani has earned great praise for the role he played in the response to the terrorist attack in New York on September 11th at the time, but he has also become the subject of heavy speculation regarding preparedness before the attack and aspects of the response afterwards. His major fault was in his immediate reaction of assurance because it was indeed lack of preparedness that could have led to the deaths of the first responders at the scene of the attacks. Another ill prepared aspect of the event was The Office of Emergency Management being in the World Trade Center therefore unable to coordinate efforts between police and firefighters for the rescue properly due to their own evacuation from the attacks at the time.

Because of this vast change, police really sought out to change the personified image of law enforcement as a collective whole (Lentz & Chaires, 2007).
Background According to University of Maryland “CompStat is an organizational and accountability method of managing a police department.” There is a lot of information and understanding of how CompStat either helped or hindered police departments as they adapted this new way of analyzing crime statistics. Willis, Mastrofski, and Weisburd (2007) stated “CompStat, the latest innovation in American policing, has been widely heralded as a management and technological system whose elements work together to transform police organizations radically” (p. 147).

Cang Truong Period 2 English 2A Masks of society Being a Police Officer is mask of society, because it allows him/her to justify the means for his/her’s evil deeds. For example, if an ordinary civilian were to try to commit an evil, barbaric action, they would be chastised heavily. As a police officer however, you can commit any sort of barbaric, savage action, and get away with it. As a police officer, you are even handed the weapons needed to commit these heinous crimes, and an ample amount of excuses and privileges. Police officers command authority, and most of the things that police officers do aren’t chastised or critiqued by others.
Making, transporting, and delivering alcohol required manpower. Because each step needed to be carefully coordinated with the next, gangs of criminals formed in highly organized businesses. Their success encouraged competition, and organized crime flourished (Benson, “Organized Crime”). Gang leaders did not want to keep relying on random people to help them with their illegal business so they had set guys to do their work but it also caused for other people to want "in" on there business which caused conflicts between gangs and sometimes resulted in death. As organized crime gangs competed for more business, violent encounters became common.
