...1. Q: What is community policy? What is the established philosophy of community policing? Does your community utilize community policing, and if so how? Community policy is when a police force and citizens within a community form a bond to control crime in a neighborhood. The philosophy is that police simply showing up when called to take care of a crime didn’t have a lasting effect on the crime rate because they were just seen as public service figures, but when seen talking with people in the neighborhoods often or doing foot patrols it gave the impression that the neighborhood had a firm stance on crime. My own community is too secluded and small to utilize community policing but there are areas within my town which have a community watch program which is a good example of how this system is used today. 2. Q: What are the four main functions of the local police? Describe each function has to what the police do and how it helps the citizens.

...critiques the affect that, “starchitects”, have on the community they build upon. He centralizes his article on Zaha Hadid a female architect who creates her designs to please the global elite. He discusses some of Hadid’s major projects that failed to contribute to its purpose, to engage in the community, and did not consider others who were not part of that one percent of global elite. One of Hadid’s past projects that Cocotas points out was the Vitra fire station in Germany. It was designed with an artistic view and beautifully crafted, but served no purpose in its function. Her design was later created into a museum proving how the form of the structure was highlighted over its function. It was more of an aesthetic project that did not serve its purpose as a fire house. Not only does it not serve its purpose, but it can also become a waste of public money and in the planning, the exclusion of the opinion of those who are being affected by the construction. Maxxi...

...Police Roles and Functions Adrian Royals CJS/210 05-31-2015 Jacqueline Smith-Haines Police Roles and Functions There are various functions and roles of a police agency. The police are responsible for maintaining public order and the prevention of crimes along with the detection of them within the jurisdiction that they are responsible for keeping order. The policing agencies are also charged with protecting life, liberty, and property of the people. On a daily basis, the crimes increase and so does the complexity of the crimes that are committed, and the complexity of the investigations that go along with solving the crimes. Without the police, the society would live in a state of chaos where people would live in a state of solitude, afraid to go out due to the crimes around them. The police agencies play an important role in the direction of justice. Some of the ways that the police agencies execute these functions is to execute all orders and warrants lawfully issued to the officer by authority. They also collect intelligence and communicate the intelligence that affects the public peace. They are also responsible for the prevention of the acts of crime or public annoyance and apprehend offenders and bringing them to justice. This is just to name a few of the functions of the policing agencies. There are mainly three different types of policing agencies. They are federal policing agencies, state policing agencies, and local policing agencies. Each type of police agency...

In order to work effectively in a culturally and ethnically diverse community, a community builder needs to first understand how each racial and ethnic group in that community is organized in order to support its members. It is not uncommon to hear a community leader, a funder, a political representative, or a service provider say, "We were not able to engage that group over there because they are not organized. They have no leaders. We need to organize them first." This statement is not always accurate; most groups have their own network of relationships and hierarchy of leaders that they tap into for mutual support. These networks or leaders may not be housed in a physical location or building that is obvious to people outside of the group. They may not even have a label or a title. There is an unspoken understanding in some groups about when and whom they should turn to among their members for advice, guidance, and blessing. Once a community builder understands the social organization of the group, it will become easier...

At times, you’ll feel as though it’s tedious to take fieldnotes; however, taking detailed notes gives you a set of data from which to look for patterns and ideas.

Take time after you’ve observed to write meaningful, thoughtful questions and reflections on the “analysis” side of your double-entry field notes (explained in “Strategies” below). Date each entry, and number each page (This is vital! If you fail to date and number each page of your fieldnotes, you will be lost when it comes time to write up your research and prepare your Research Portfolio for the Celebration of Student Writing) Write legibly enough that someone else could read them.
