...Individual Policing Functions Paper Monica Robinson University of Phoenix CJA/394 Individual Policing Functions Paper Policing has come a long way from the way it was decades ago. It has changed for the better even through there is still some room for more improvement. In policing today there are more officers, detectives, and other officials accounted for then there was in the past. Having all of these individuals within the criminal system, it has shape the government to provide better protection for its people. In policing in past and now in the present there are many different perspectives of policing functions. These functions stem from different levels of law enforcement which includes the local, state, and federal organizational levels. These are very important parts of the criminal justice system, because every individual within these levels must be sure to protect citizens, enforce law, and perform the duties that are required of them in order to keep the United States safe from criminals and terrorist attacks from other foreign countries that might try to attack the United States. As years have passed on within policing, there are many possible future changes that will have an effect in the field of policing. Within each level of policing there are many different roles in which every individual in the policing field must take part in if they are going to be on the law enforcement team. I say this because this is a very serious 24/7 operation...

...Introduction In recent years, the idea of predictive policing, or the use of statistics and data to make policing decisions, has become widely popular in the United States. As police departments faced reduced budgets, improving efficiency in how they work to prevent crime is of great importance (Goode, 2011). However, predictive policing also create a focus on accountability, which has caused some police officers to respond negatively to such pressures (Willis, Mastrofski & Weisburd, 2003). The purpose of this paper is to briefly examine predictive policing and how tools such as COMPSTAT allow police departments to respond more efficiently to criminal activity. Information Technology vs. Random Patrols Before discussing specific issues involving the use of COMPSTAT as part of predictive policing, it is important to compare and contrast the use of information technology as a way of optimizing police department performance with the more traditional use of random street patrols. The use of information technology applications and performing random street patrols are actually similar because both methods of identifying and responding to crime are intended to examine the events and conditions that exist in a particular area so that criminal activity can be prevented before it actually occurs (Bratton & Malinowski, 2008). In essence, regardless of whether information technology applications or random street patrols are used, the overall goal is to be positioned in a way that...

...Policing Functions Paper Dana Gurley CJA 394 April 29, 2013 Don Frederick Policing Functions Paper According to The Free Dictionary (2013), policing is defined as to regulate, control, or keep in order with or as if with a law enforcement agency. Policing is at city, county, state, and federal levels with the United States, each have different roles and responsibilities. Policing has advanced so much from starting with night watchmen who were just citizens, to community policing being an occupation. Society is always advancing making the criminal justice system which includes policing to keep up with the advancements. As a police officer whether it be at a city, county, state, or federal level risk their lives daily to keep society in order by protecting and enforcing the laws. There are also private security industries that employ law enforcement officers as well. Local police department is a general purpose law enforcement agency which consists of both county, and town or city (Bureau of Justice Statistics, n.d.). Tribal police are also classified as local police. Municipal or city police are the most important component of American law enforcement. Municipal police play a more complex role than any other type of law enforcement agency. As a city police department has the heaviest responsibility for dealing with serious crime which is located within the cities (Walker & Katz, Chapter 3, The Contemporary Law Enforcement Industry, 2008). Not only with the responsibilities...

Policing Paper Proper policing and its structure of the policing structure has always been under scrutiny from the past, present and the future. Most professionals in the criminal justice system search for that one specific strategy that will dramatically instill a positive structure for policing. According to (Walker, S., & amp ; Katz, 2011) “ Herman Goldstein’s approach to policing represents a proactive to policing, rather than a reactive approach to policing. Policing is more than just a response to 911 calls policing involves problem solving to identify recurring problems and developing strategies to reduce and eliminate recurring problems.” Structure or Problem- Solving Policing From 1980 Herman Goldstein upstarted a new structure of policing by solving problems and preventing specific...

...Organizational Management and Operations Paper Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper in which you identify, compare, and contrast the policing function at the local, state, and federal organizational levels. Analyze how the organizational, management, administration, and operational functions at these three organizational levels are similar or different and why. Be sure to identify the leadership characteristics and responsibilities pertaining to each organizational level. Include at least four peer reviewed references. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Police agencies in US basically play the role of protection and service to its citizens. Over simplifying the police role, many police cars are adorned with the tag of “to protect and serve”. Meanwhile many scholars attempted to categorise the role of police into two fragments: maintenance of order and law enforcement.(James,1968).But in reality police ,the role of police is much more diversified and complex ,in contrast to the divisions mentioned above. They are generally the first agency that people look up to whenever in need. From searching lost children to solving neighbour’s dispute, from property problems to traffic control, the role of police is most significant for the law enforcement of a country. It can be concluded that police interact with people more often with respect to non-criminal matters in comparison to criminal matters. This shows that the major role of police is law enforcement .It includes...

...Policing Paper Jermaine Smith University of Phoenix, Survey of Justice and Security AJS 502 Melinda Allen February 17, 2014 Abstract In this article readers will learn firsthand the views of Sir Robert Peel’s ideas of law during the 1820s. Since Sir Robert Peel created his principles of policing in the early 1800's. Today many law agencies have continued to follow his ideas of effective policing. Community policing has been a focus in many departments. Many agencies have been faced with challenges throughout the years, including the increase of cultural diversity among our communities. Sir Robert Peel focuses his beliefs on the fact that police and the people of the community are equal in terms of effective policing. For a plan of action to be successful it’s necessary to have effective communication between all involved. Policing Paper Sir Robert Peel established the nine principles of law enforcement also known as the Peelian Principles in 1892 under the base of patrol functions defined as deterring crime, enhancing the feeling of public safety, and making law enforcement officers available for service. Police departments today use these nine principles as a foundation of maintaining positive relationships with citizens and their community (FBI, 2012). The Metropolitan Police Act (MPA) of 1829 was established by Sir Robert Peel during his term as the Secretary of England. Peel’s theory rests mainly on his quote “The key to policing is that...

Sir Robert Peel came up with his own set of Nine Principles and Sir Richard Mayne just added to them upon replacing Sir Robert Peel. Introduction The purpose of this paper will be to discuss the Nine Principles of Policing, and who what where and why, these principles were need. We will start by discussing Sir Robert Peel his background and ideals. We also will discuss Sir Richard Mayne and his background as well as his ideals. We will also be discussing why these two men’s’ ideals are accredited for being the foundation of modern policing. The information that was used to research this paper has come from online articles, online newspapers, others’ papers, and the hand out provided in class. Sir Robert Peel (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850) Sir Robert Peel was born on 5 February 1788 at Chamber Hall just outside of Bury in Lancashire.

...Organizational Management And Operations Paper Team A University of phoenix CJA 484 Dwayne Carr April 27, 2015 Organizational Management and Operations Paper While the criminal justice system can be viewed as on whole entity, there are different levels of organization. Within these different organizational levels comes varying degrees of functionality. The three organizational levels include local, state, and federal police functions. Each of which are responsible for certain aspects pertaining to the criminal justice organization. As the organizational levels progress, the functionality and responsibility of each grows. Each level has a little more power than the one beneath it. Overall each is of extreme importance to the criminal justice system, but each have their own functional priorities. This is to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall organization through splitting up the responsibilities of each level. Each level of policing has different organizational, administrative, management, and operational functions. While the setup may appear to be similar amongst each, there will be slight variations dependent upon on the function of the level. The management and leadership styles will vary based on the operations. Different operations will call for different styles of leadership, and this will show in the various operational functions of policing. Policing is more than what meets the eye. There...

...Term Paper: Predictive Policing Sherrell Hall Dr. Kaali Dass CIS-500: Information System Decision Making April 21, 2014 When one thinks of predictive policing, what does he or she think about? Some may think it’s a way for police officers to know of a crime that’s going to take place. Others may think a group of policeman will gather together and come up with predictions on what crime is going to take place next and where. While both statements are somewhat true, let’s take a look at what predictive policing is and compare and contrast the application of information technology to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. We’ll also take a look at COMPSTAT, define it, and discuss the basic IS functions in addition to how it allows police departments to respond to crime faster. In addition to COMPSTAT and its functions, we’ll discuss the SWOT analysis. Part I: Compare and Contrast the application of information technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. Predictive policing is “taking data from disparate sources, analyzing them and then using the results to anticipate, prevent, and respond more effectively to future crime” (Pearsall, 2010). In other words, predictive policing is analyzing all of the data from crimes and using it to predict when the next crime(s) will occur. This is proven to decrease the crime rate. For instance, in Santa Cruz,...

...Critical Issues in Policing Lindsay R.V. Klamp CJA/214 – Introduction to Police Theory and Practices June 11, 2012 Melinda Allen University of Phoenix Critical Issues in Policing There are a number of critical issues when concering policing. This paper will discuss the dangers of policing and how it affects police officers; less-than-lethal weapons and the benefits that it has for officers and our community; past, present, and future technology of policing and some of the benefits that they entail; homeland security and law enforcements relationship, and police corruption. Dangers of Policing When you are in a position to protect the people and the community, your job generally will come with a large amount of risks. Every day that an officer steps out into the world to do his/her job; they are risking their lives for the sake of the community. Not only do police risk his/her lives, but also they are put at risk for a number of other dangers that are related to police work. A few of these dangers include: death, stress, physical damage to the body, mental damage to the mind and various health issues. One danger for police officers that which seem to be rising over the years is that police officers are being killed by perpetrators. According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 72 officers were killed by perpetrators in 2011, a 25% increase from the previous year and a 75% increase from 2008. The 2011 deaths were the first time that more...

...Police Roles and Functions Police agencies perform similar duties and responsibilities such as maintain law and order, investigate crimes and provide assistance to the community. There are various functions that each level of policing agencies handle and are broken into local, state and federal levels. In this paper I will discuss the various functions of a police agency, compare the functions on a local, state and federal level, explain what would happen if various functions and policing were limited in a community. Law enforcement is one of the three major components of the criminal justice system. Communities are dependent on the law enforcement agencies to prevent crime and assist people when they are in need. The local policing includes city, town and county. They protect citizens and maintain law and order within their assigned jurisdiction. Local police are responsible for maintaining order, enforcing criminal and traffic laws and investigating crimes. According to Walker & Katz municipal police are the most important component of American law enforcement. (Walker & Katz, 2011). Local police work closer with the community and provide a more direct service to the community they are assigned to. The municipal police play a more complex role than any other level of law enforcement due to them being on the frontline on a daily basis. “Cities and big cities in particular represent the most complex environments, particularly (Walker & Katz, 2011)”. The city police have...

Describe the impact of Sir Robert Peel on American policing. 2). Analyze the relationship between the U.S. Government and the policing organizations throughout the United States. 3). Explain how this relationship may affect Police Practices. 1. Describe the impact of Sir Robert Peel on American policing? - The English statesman Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) served as prime minister during 1834-1835 and 1841-1846. He played an important role in modernizing the British government’s social and economic and sponsored the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. Sir Roberts Peel was in the great tradition of the 19th-century administrative reformers. Though not a doctrinaire, he drew on the most advanced thinking of his day in his reform of British criminal law, the prisons, the police, and fiscal and economic policies. By making government a positive instrument in social reform and by his pragmatic approach to social and political problems, Peel also made an important contribution to shaping the philosophy of the modern conservative party. Despite the fact that his repeal of the Corn Laws broke his party, Peelite traditions lingered on. Peelites such as William Gladstone also carried these traditions into the Liberal party. Sir Roberts and his efforts have lasted through out times, trials, and many difficulties in Sir Roberts Peel’s...

You will also be able to analyze how the organizational, management, administration, and operational functions are displayed at these three organizational levels. The differences and the similarities will be discussed as well. There are many leadership characteristics and responsibilities pertaining to each organizational level that will be displayed as you read this paper. Identify local, state, and federal policing There are all different types of law enforcement agencies. They range from your local, sometimes very small, city or county police departments all the way to you more advanced and sometimes very large federal agencies. All of these agencies offer various career paths to anyone interested in law enforcement. Employment in any of these agencies will depend on many different factors. You have to really determine if your area has a big enough agency to offer maximum employment prospects. The type of agency you’re dealing with also plays a major part. Each agency, whether its local, state, or federal all have their own mission so that could play a part in a person’s job search in that particular area. My experiences have proven that the bigger the agency and/or the jurisdiction, the better your employment chances are. Most of these agencies have very low...
