...Policing Development and Operation Trends Jovita Gilliam CJA/394 February 1, 2012 Yolonda Johnson Policing Development and Operation Trends There are different policing organizations present in every community that helps to keep that community safe. A few of these organizations are the local police, the state police, and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations). These organizations play a vital role in the past, present, and future trends of policing in this country. Their ability to adapt to changes in the way communities evolve and become more technologically advanced will determine if these agencies can prepare for change. Police management and organization has changed tremendously over the past century. The environment of policing has attributed too many of these changes. These changes come from: Public opinion differences about the police, new technology development, public, and private sector managerial innovations, and new types of offense emergence. Police management traditional methods emerged from two sources: policing from a militaristic views and management concepts derived from the beginning of the twentieth century from the private sector. Police administrators have been urged by reformers since the 1970s to adopt more democratic styles of management. Military management is not suited for policing because most of the work done by police involves citizens in low profile settings. Police cannot make...

...Policing Development and Operation Trends 350 , administration The authors of this essay would like to also explore more on “Policing Development and Operation Trends” from an administration aspect of the “past, present and future”. These trends and their impact on how they affect the advancements in various policing organizations and their operation, things that are and will be affected are combining services, retirement qualifications will be amended, being able to effectively service the smaller communities and adjust hiring practices and training (Walker & Katz. 2008). Policing during the mid-Nineteenth Century had struggled to obtain command of its organization. First it was administration had to wrestle against politicians and all of their components for control. So many police in administrative positions were connected in some way or another; their campaigns were funded by politicians so they became their puppets and at th8er beck and call. Then as administration began to wrestle away for the choke hold that the politicians had on them by the mid-twentieth century they became victim to their own policies and methods one such method is the so-call rapid response number “911” from their service system. The next struggle that the administration is a work in evolution, Not that the administration of any police unit is a multifaceted task, one such task is to manage a department of personal of various and different nationality and these individuals work in different...

...Annette Davis Inside Public and Private Policing CJA 500 Survey of Administration & Justice Dr. John Baiamonte, Jr. November 1, 2010 Assignment Write a 1500 to 2000 word paper that compares and contrasts the roles, responsibilities, and differences of public and private policing. Cite at least two scholarly works (articles or books) or government documents. However, your textbook cannot be used as a source. Public policing has been known to have a monopoly on policing until the increased trend of private policing in the United States. Private policing, while emerging as a new industry, is not a new phenomenon and predates the existence of public police as witnessed today (Wilson 1994). Public and private policing have many similarities, as well as differences and the distinction between public and private police are often blurred. Private police look and behave like public police and describing their function often involves a comparison of the activities and responsibilities of the two. Despite the differences, public and private police tend to mirror each other to a certain extent (Nalla & Newman, 1990). The increase of private policing has been in response to many changes in society such as the increase of "mass private property" (Shearing and Stenning, 1983) in the form of large shopping complexes, cinemas, large retail stores and large compound style housing estates or gated communities. These require constant surveillance for the safety of shoppers and residents...

...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 is a lot that goes on behind the scenes which often goes unnoticed. These unnoticed aspects are what make the operation function in an effective manner. This is why it is so important for the administration, management, and leadership to be able to adapt and be...

... 2013 Jess Gutierrez Police History The efforts of policing have been around for centuries. In 2200 BC Babylon used the code of Hammurabi for standardized laws and punishments; in 27 BC Augustus created the Roman system of Vigiles; in 1285 the watch-and-word system was created by the Statute of Winchester in England; in 1748 London formed the Bow Street Runners. Despite London possessing more than 400 police officers in the early 1800s they still had no centrally organized system for law enforcement. One man set out to change this flaw in the system, Sir Robert Peel. He devoted his life to developing a police force, which would provide services and safety for communities and their citizens throughout the world. Through his dedication and hard work of creating the London Metropolitan Police, he was dubbed the “father” of Modern policing. Sir Robert Peel accomplished all this while serving as the Home Secretary of England. Parliament was hesitant at first, but later passed the Metropolitan Police Act in 1829. This ACT provided funds for a 1,000 police officer force to be controlled by strict rules of conduct and discipline. Sir Robert Peel believed that “the police are people and the people are the police,” and in order for crime prevention to be successful it must keep crime from becoming intrusive to the people and their communities. Sir Robert Peel created this list of principles for policing. 1. The police must be stable, efficient, and organized along...

...term is most commonly associated with police services of a state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are viewed as being separate from military or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, some military units are involved civil policing. The need for the police evolved in order to help maintain peace, enforce the laws of the land, protect the people from criminals, and to help ensure the safety of the citizens. In the colonial period, policing was provided by elected sheriffs and local militias. After the civil war, policing had more of a military basic with the use of police uniforms and ranks. The Virtual County Police department’s (VCPD) establishment appeared doomed from the start. The building block of its existence, its inception, was inadequate because it was facilitated by a small group of individuals that were farmers by trade, and not law enforcement. Only within the last twenty years was it recognized as the emerging policing agency after a battle the State Police. Perhaps, if VCPD selected members of the State Police during their initial development, instead of their farmer friends, some of the subsequent problems could have in fact been avoided. Another issue with the organization of the VCPD, is the lack of professional qualifications among its members. “In most countries, candidates for the police force must...

...created over the years, lawmakers have neglected to create a substantial amount of laws that take diversity into account. In the instance of selling drugs, certain drugs such as crack, a drug used primarily by African Americans, result in longer prison sentences and higher penalties. On the other hand, cocaine, a drug used primarily by Whites, ensues fewer penalties. Our laws must take ethnic differences into account because not all crimes result in the same course of punishment. In this paper, I will discuss the impact of culture on the criminal justice system and describe contemporary methods used by the police department and security firms while working with diverse populations. Furthermore, I will detail nondiscriminatory practices within the criminal justice system and outline Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles in relation to police departments. Race and ethnicity are important factors to incorporate into laws. Many of the current laws are outdated in the sense that they do not take cultural differences into account. Current US populations have a different racial and ethnic make-up than when most laws and the Constitution were created. Present day America has numerous immigrants, legal or otherwise, who must live and abide by outdated, and at times, unfair laws. Immigrants, on a whole, are fearful of being a part of the criminal justice system, whether as a witness, perpetrator, or victim; they are fearful of being deported back to their home country where they are...

...opinion polls have made known that the most important issue communities face are crime and the fear of crime rank. Urbanized communities have become war zones with the sounds of gun shots echoing through the night. Now more than ever communities are coordinating with law enforcement agencies to develop community policing programs and strategies. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (1995), “Indeed, communities that are suffering from crime are changing their interactions with the agencies of criminal justice system as the concepts of community policing, community prosecution, and community justice take on real meaning in cities and towns across the country” (p.1). Although the criminal justice system is ever changing, there are three distinct categories that remain the same in the criminal justice system. According to Nancy M. Ritter, writer/editor at the National Institute of Justice (2006), “Regardless of such coevolution across the wide range of crimes, ‘crime-fighting’, will continue to fall into three categories: reducing the opportunity for crime, changing the motivation of people who commit crimes, and altering people’s fundamental values” (para. 2). It is within these three categories that the criminal justice system will resolve contemporary issues and provide new trends to prevent crime. Recent and Future Trends Continual advancement in technology has assisted law enforcement agencies to prevent, prosecute, and deter crime. Criminologists and criminal justice...

...27, 2015 University of Phoenix Cultural Considerations This paper is going to discuss different culture concerns, and what the influences are in today’s society within the criminal justice system. Also, this paper will talk about how to attend to different culture concerns, security administration, and how influences affect the criminal justice system. Some of the other points that are going to be touched up on are contemporary methods that are used in societies of assorted cultures, how these different influences and considerations related to and affect nondiscrimination practices within the criminal justice system. Last but not least, this paper is going to go over Sir Roberts Peel’s nine principles, and how they coincide within today’s police forces. The military employment across the countries in the Middle East and Europe has brought police forces into question. The local police forces have their own way of training that is similar to the military training. The military is helping individuals that are being abused by the hands of the police. In most of these cases where military law is present and security is more existing the police appear to be more on the military side than working for the countries government or community. This abuse does not happen within the United States, but the problem within the United States that is going on with the police and the security with the employment. With all of these different problems they are examined closely by the military...

I n Chapter 4, we focus on organizational and administrative aspects of policing, on the formal structure and the impact of police leaders. While these formal considerations are crucial to an understanding of the police role, there are two other contributing factors that must be considered in our attempt to understand policing as an occupation: the police subculture and the pressures and stresses of police work.

...Introduction Often times the terms supervisor and leader are used interchangeably. However, in the field of policing they are very different indeed. Anyone can be given the title of a supervisor simply by scoring high enough on a promotional civil service exam and being promoted to a higher rank. To be given the honor of being called a leader you must have much more than book smarts. Effective leaders are often said to share in common traits like having the ability to articulate a vision, motivating others towards achieving said vision and using their people in a way that maximizes the outcome positively while minimizing their exposure to potential liabilities (Schafer, 2010). Supervisors complete their tasks by adhering to structure,...
