Sir Robert Peel- The impact on American Policing and History Sir Robert Peel created the Metropolitan Police in 1829 as he served as Home Secretary of England. Peel had many keys in policing and believed that prevention of criminal activities could be accomplished. His establishments nine principle of policing are still relevant today. Peel’s concept of prevention was community policing that has been implemented by other law enforcements across the country and was based on goals to prevent crime and obtain better community partnership. Community policing required special training in mediation and conflict, problem-solving and analysis, community organization, facilitation, communication, network, and linkages, and cross-cultural competency.
Special attention will be lent to illustrate the effectiveness of the paramilitary style of dress, loyalty, and discipline in relation to the traditional style of policing in America; casting particular illumination on the organizational structure of the traditional police department. In addition, the solid, familial bond of brotherhood and sisterhood that exists within the casing of the traditional style of policing will also be presented and explained. Community oriented policing is the second side of policing that we are going to deal with; focusing on its American roots, effectiveness, and future direction of community-oriented policing. A brief biographical sketch will be painted of the person who many law enforcement researchers and analysts have credited with the implementation of the community-oriented model of policing. His basis, reasoning, and a cross-section of his 9 Policing Principles will also be discussed.
The objective for law enforcement administrators is to make out the most excellent approach to deal with the increasingly shifting crime troubles in the population they provide assistance for, and to relate the fitting idea in the shape of efficient plans (Community Policing, n.d). Community oriented policing, problem oriented policing and zero tolerance policing are popular policing methods being utilized today. These policies have their pros and cons but they also have some similarities and seem to be of equal importance. The common similarity they all share is that they are all attempting to diminish crime and provide a safe environment for community members. It would be difficult to have one solitary plan or technique to aid in dealing with community issues therefore communities may find it necessary to seek out multiple methods of policing to satisfy their inhabitants.
Running head: Trends in Policing Trends in Policing Shane’ Hill-Bailey Kaplan University CJ229: Associates Capstone in Criminal Justice Prof Robert Bradley July 2, 2013 Trends in Policing Abstract Shane’ Hill-Bailey In response to making communities and the streets crime free by producing positive and effective results, two models of policing were developed; Community-oriented policing and Problem-oriented policing. This project defines Community-Oriented Policing and Problem-Oriented policing while assessing the strengths and weaknesses behind the two policing models. How these two policing models relate, compare, and contrast will also be discussed along with the challenges that police departments face when trying to implement the these models. Trends in Policing Community-oriented policing is a view-point that endorses organizational strategies. Community-oriented policing supports the organized use of partnerships and problem-solving methods.
First, there is a need for validated measures of police-civilian encounters that can be used as standardized benchmarks or indicators of organizational excellence at the local, regional and national levels. Second, these methods are designed to generate timely feedback regarding police performance that can be used by local agencies to assist them in building smarter, evidence-based learning organizations. Third, these methods will address the growing public demand to have a voice in government services. Creating a visible mechanism for community input will go a long way toward building trust, transparency, and legitimacy.” (Rosenbaum, et al., 2014) Two most common barriers to the integration of crime analysis reported by agencies are “not enough personnel (59 percent) and not enough funding (43 percent). Less often reported were barriers such as the fact that patrol does not use analysis (11 percent) and the lack of support for crime analysis within the agency (7 percent).” (Taylor, Ph.D., Boba, Ph.D., & Egge,
1. In a Community Oriented Policing environment, it is important for officers engage in community building. Explain the elements of community organizing and various obstacles police may face in attempting to do so. (Thurman & McGarrell, pages 96 – 101) Thurman and McGarrell explain that community organizing is planned attempts to alter neighborhood interactional patterns in order to make communities stronger and to solve community problems. One of the elements of community organizing is the locality development, which is known as an attempt to create new, problem-solving people such as board committees and councils within that community.
Community Policing: a Partnership in Law Enforcement Since the creation of the first modern American city police force in New York City in 1844, law enforcement agencies throughout the country have been charged with the responsibility of maintaining order within society and protecting the citizens within their jurisdiction from the criminal element. Over the years since then, the law-enforcement model has changed and evolved in response to the changing demands of society. The current trend in the policing model, community policing, has proven thus far to be one of the most successful and widely used models throughout the history of law enforcement. Community policing can be defined as a "philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime" (US Department of Justice, 2008). In essence, the concept of community policing is to create a partnership between formal law enforcement and the community of citizens it is charged with protecting in an effort to reduce crime, decrease fear in the community, and to solve crime related problems within society.
New York City is the safest big city in the country, due to constant technological breakthroughs and dedicated policing. In spite of that there is still room for much improvement, as some of the overly aggressive law enforcement tactics suffocate NYPD relationship status with communities across our city. My vision for public safety is to retain our advances in crime reduction by utilizing technology and clever anti- crime routines. Just the same, we need to mend divisions between police and communities with crucial, much needed reforms. Which is why throughout my public service career, I have fought to build a robust safety infrastructure and advocate for positive police- community relationships.
Assignment: Police Ethics and Deviance William Benson CJS / 210 April 11, 2011 Amanda Dean Police Ethics and Deviance Police officers are provided with a huge amount of responsibility and authority. They are also in clear view of the public and must maintain a good standard of ethics. Unfortunately for the majority of upstanding and very ethical officers there are always a few that are deviant and less than desirable. Modern technology and advanced media seem to focus strongly on the stories out of the norm, thus creating a much higher standard for police to live up to. The ethical standards of police officers are vital to the relationship of the department and the community.
FUTURE OF POLICING CJS/210 – FUTURE OF POLICING INSTRUCTOR - MARGARET PECK BY: LAWRENCE WALLER SEPTEMBER 23, 2012 Future of Policing This report explains the future of monitoring covering the following subjects: Objectives of existing monitoring as well as future policing, problems confronted by law enforcement organizations while trying to provide services to the general public, modifications suggested, techniques or technological development that would assist the police force in order to accomplish their objectives in regulating down the road. The primary objectives of monitoring is the protection against offense and safety of life, in order to support and use the law, fight general public fear of crime, increase town security, manage traffic, motivate regard for the legislation, and also to safeguard the civil rights and liberties of people (Grant & Terry, 2008). The future of monitoring gradually has reformed in order to satisfy the requirements the folks, decrease the crime and make monitoring more efficient. I think a few of the objectives for long term monitoring will be more educated and powerful cops both physically and mentally, combination of police divisions in order to save money, increase public as well as officer safety and homeland security, and the utilization of more upgraded technology. Public safety officers must use the latest technology available to help them with combating crime and reaction times.
