When crisis and danger arise in our community the first words that come out is call the police. The police are primarily a crime fighter. Therefore they promote most of their time and effort enforcing the law, patrolling to deter crime, investigating crimes committed, and arresting the criminals that committed those crimes. (Walker & Katz, 2011) Policing is the most visible but the least understood profession. Law enforcement is not based on pieces of information and dramatizations as what we see on television, it has much more expectations. The duties of a law enforcement officer are more than protecting lives and properties. The officers’ duties depend solely on the size and type of the establishment. The roles and functions of the law enforcers consist of upholding and enforcing the law without being bias, to protect the civil rights and property of all people, to maintain and keep order among societies, to prevent crime from happening, to promote community safety, to monitor traffic and issue citations, arrest suspected criminals pursue and apprehend law breakers.

...second with about 25 million users per year. According to United Nations (UN) estimates, the drug trade is a $400 billion per year industry. Drug trafficking traces its roots back to eighteenth-century China. By the late seventeenth century, opium addiction had become a major problem on the Chinese coast, where European traders imported opium from other parts of Asia. In 1729, the Chinese emperor banned the importation of opium into China. As the supply of opium decreased, the price of opium increased and drug smuggling increased. By the end of the nineteenth century, the Chinese opium trade flourished due to lax enforcement of the importation ban and due to a substantial increase in domestic production. By the early twentieth century, one quarter of the adult male population in China was addicted to opium. The Chinese opium crisis gave birth to international drug enforcement when Britain agreed to work to end the exportation of...

...Air transport is the most modern means of transport which is unmatched by its speed, time- saving and long-distance operation. It is very important for a large country like India. Through it one can easily reach to remote and inaccessible areas like mountains, forests, deserts etc. It is very useful during the times of war and natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, hostility and collapse of law and order. The beginning of the air transport was made in 1911 with a 10 km air mail service between Allahabad and Naini. The real progress was achieved in 1920 when some aerodromes were constructed and the Tata Sons Ltd. started operating internal air services (1922). Flying clubs were opened in Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1928. In 1933 another company Indian National Airways was constituted to serve between Karachi and Lahore. In 1938 .the Empire Air Mail Service was introduced to carry mail between the empire countries. In 1946, the Government set up the Air transport Licensing Board which granted 11 licenses. At the time of Independence 4 companies were operating their air services (Tata Sons Ltd., Indian National Airways, Air Services of India and Deccan Airways). By 1951 there were 4 new entrants: (Bharat Airways, Himalayan Aviation Ltd., Airways India, and Kalinga Airlines).

...of low visibility due to a nearby wildfire. Interstate I-75 was closed down in both directions as crews worked to clear out the 70 or more vehicles that were included in this debacle. The media outlets Foxnews, MSNBC, and CNN all covered the story; this story is currently the top article for all three news stations. Each of the news stations describes the incident, the cause, and a death and injury toll. In addition to the text material, the websites also include pictures of the event. CNN takes this one step further by adding a video link to WKMG, a CBS network affiliate for Central Florida, which had helicopter video footage of the accident aftermath. MSNBC includes a link to the local Florida paper, The Gainesville Sun; which includes more information of the hospitalization of those involved as well as quotes from local law enforcement. Each of the websites uses law enforcement and victim quotes to help describe the event and its cause; however, each of the news stations used the quotes in a slightly different way. The quotes from MSNBC and Foxnews seemed to be from the victim’s perspective but were based in facts and disruptive about the situation itself. Whereas CNN used quotes that had much more felling; these quotes gave the news article a more personal and emotional tone unlike the professional, sterile tone of other two articles. Although this story is factual rather than based on opinion and the three news outlets contain most of the same information; there are still...

...Police Primary responsibility for the maintenance of public order through enforcement of the kingdom's laws was exercised by the Thailand National Police Department (TNPD), a subdivision of the Ministry of Interior. Charged with performing police functions throughout the entire country, the TNPD was a unitary agency whose power and influence in Thai national life had at times rivaled that of the army. The formal functions of the TNPD included more than the enforcement of laws and apprehension of offenders. The department also played an important role in the government's efforts to suppress the remnants of the insurgency. In the event of an invasion by external forces, much of the police force would come under the control of the Ministry of Defense to serve with, but not be incorporated into, the military forces. Originally modeled on the pre-World War II national police force of Japan, the TNPD was reorganized several times to meet changing public order and internal security needs. American advice, training, and equipment, which were provided from 1951 through the early 1970s, did much to introduce new law enforcement concepts and practices and to aid in the modernization of the TNPD. During this era the strength and effectiveness of the police grew steadily. All components of the police system were administered by the TNPD headquarters in Bangkok, which also provided technical support for law enforcement activities throughout the kingdom.

...Since the birth of law enforcement police officers have always had to pursue the criminal. These pursuits started on foot, advanced to horseback and finally the automobile. Any one of these methods of pursuits of criminals can be dangerous, but with the creation of the automobile, high speed pursuits became more deadly. In the field of Law Enforcement, there are many inherent dangers that can cause injury or even death to police officers and civilians. New recruits train hours in the art of driving at close range and high rates of speed. Yet when it comes to actual pursuits, it is all dependent on the officer and the choices he or she makes, whether or not to pursue the criminal. There have been many of studies discussing whether or not police officers should engage in the pursuit when the criminal does not yield to the police officers sirens. On the other hand, the effectiveness of apprehending a criminal out shines the negatives in police pursuits. In this research paper, I will be discussing the disagreements about police pursuit driving and why it is such an ongoing issue in law enforcement. Also, I will be discussing my thoughts and opinions regarding this issue. In regard to the issue of police pursuits, many people argue that police pursuit driving is inherently dangerous because of the amount of civilian deaths that have occurred. For instance, in the article “High-Speed Police Pursuits” by John Hill, Hill stated that, “one person dies every day as a result...

I have always heard this phrase, “Whatever is the past is the past so let it stay in the past”. But when we are looking into the past and thinking of how society was then we can always say that we as a community felt safe. Our law enforcement back in the 1800’s was always there to protect us no matter what the situation was. Law Enforcement officers back then were a lot more respectful, they always treated everyone the same and did not so favoritism. Law enforcement officers back then also were always making sure that every neighborhood was safe. They would do their patrol of the neighborhoods on foot and go door to door to make sure that there was not anything going on in that neighborhood. They would also walk the streets, always ask the passerby how things were going and they knew then by name. The community’s always felt safe when they were out in their community and knew that the law enforcement officers cared for them and their community that...
