Sir Robert Peel’s principals and Community Policing share the same concepts and goals in policing. A main similarity is that preventing crimes is a number one priority. Crime prevention is not just the police’s responsibility but the communities as well because they share ownership, responsibility, and accountability for preventing crimes. When police take time to work with a community they can end up forming a strong relationship when it comes to dealing with crimes. If police want to gain the respect of their community, they must respect all of the different cultures in the neighborhoods they are working in.
Another very important skills are professional and personal skills which are known as punctuation, pride of appearance and behaviour. These skills are very important because as we know, police officer should be a good example for other people so that he should wear the uniform correctly, be always punctual and also behave appropriately.

I believe that allowing officers to break together and actually be able to talk to each other while working will let the officers be a little more satisfied with his or her job.

Police Ethics and Deviance CJS 210 People look at police officers everyday and usually associate them as “heroes” or “the good guys.” Usually police officers are exactly that; the good guys. But, that is not always the case. There is corruptness in the criminal justice system. It is something people have to look out for and know that it is out there. Many police officers have good ethics.
Obligations For man or women who work in the police force they feel a certain obligation to with the law. They provide a service and duty to a community and are in trusted to uphold the law in the community’s best interest. So even in their off hours they still try to be advocate of our justice system by holding up the obligation to hold the law. It is not just our police force that lives by these standards
CJS 250 May 15, 2011 John Feltgen Relationship between Private and Public Police The relationship between private and public police officers has been a topic of debate for decades. Both have a responsibility to provide a certain level protection to the public and still societal views of private and public police can be blurry. However, one view remains constant and that is society has just as much need for private police protection as they do public police protection. An understanding, positive working relationship between both private and public police is beneficial for all parties involved. Although some similarities between public and private police exist, there are some differences that cannot be overlooked.
The use of police force is highly important and can make a huge difference in society. It can make an impact and affect the outcome of a situation. There are people that like the police and there are people who hate them. Regardless of what your opinion is about the use of police force, one should take into account that it is much needed. Police force protects our rights as citizens, enforces the law, and it helps shape a society to make moral and ethical decisions.
This paper will discuss police corruption and misconduct in different areas of the world as well as the ethics involved. Police Corruption First we start with what corruption is and what is considered to be police corruption. According to Pollock (2010), “ Corruption has been described as acting on opportunities, created by virtue of one’s authority, for personal gain at the expense of the public one is authorized to serve”(pg.178). Corruption occurs in different situations that include corruption of authority, kickbacks, theft, illegal activities, payoffs, and shakedowns (Pollock 2010). Police corruption has become a big deal and can be taken back to years ago when Rodney King who was a harmless civilian at
Police corruption is a problem that can be traced back to the early days of policing. It is a serious problem within most police forces today, as it is widely know that is it something that is not only hard to calculate, but also hard to reduce and near impossible to eradicate. The following will explore what corruption is defined as and reasons for why police corruption occurs. Reasons that will be covered that can be deemed as the cause of corruption are, the police cultures’ solidarity and loyalty, that a high level of discretion is used, which cannot be monitored, and that there is a corrupt hierarchy within the police force that is difficult to control. Methods to prevent corruption will then be explored, such as more rigorous recruitment procedures and the reinforcement of the motivation to do what is right.
