...Law Enforcement Agencies and Systems Law Enforcement Agencies and Systems Law enforcement agencies and systems have shown consistent changes over the centuries and is evolving over time. Even though “modern policing in the U.S. is still based on the nineteenth-century British model of the Metropolitan Police of London, a tremendous amount of specialization has evolved in today’s sphere of policing, especially among federal, state, and local agencies” (Peak, 2015, p.277). In this assignment, I will discuss similarities and differences between the modern law enforcement agencies and systems in the northeast, southeast, and western regions; as well as the urban and rural areas. Northeast, southeast, and western regions The criminal justice agencies over time were developed to respond locally to each regions particular social problems. In earlier times, a place such as New England, who had a sheriff that provided law enforcement, was an unskilled worker who was appointed the job (Conser, 2005). This was due to the lack of social problems because it was the norm to be obedient to authority figures and containing public order was not an issue. Churches and families; as well as the community, was all that was necessary I order to maintain social order and “there was little need for the formal agencies of social control that we know today” (Conser, 2005, p.53). Pennsylvania was also similar with New England with their religious beliefs and influences...

...Abstract: Acme is a travel agency, which specializes in selling cruise holidays. Although the organization started out as a bricks and mortar business, today 60% of the business is obtained online, and with 40% of the trade coming through the traditional routes. The organization has been highly successful, and business is growing, but the company is facing some challenges. Although service levels are high, increasing levels of competition have impacted on the organization, and the repeat purchase rate was reduced from 50% to 19%. Furthermore, the cost of new customer acquisition has increased significantly, to $78 per customer. The organization wishes to increase repeat sales in order to support better profit levels, and reduce the challenges and costs associated with new customer acquisition. The implementation of a customer relationship management program (CRM) has been advocated as a way of covering, analyzing, and facilitating utilizing of information about customers to improve the customer relationships, and marketing knowledge. The expected duration of implementation is approximately four months; and if it is able to increase repeat purchases by only 10%, it would increase the revenues for the company in excess of $4 million in the first year. Brief Company Background; Acme is a local travel agency firm. Established in 1978, the firm started out selling only through the shop, attracting new customers with the use of local advertising, including newspapers...

...departments and agencies in the U.S. that it could easily seem very strange to people in other countries why there was a need for this huge number of entities. Most often in other countries law enforcement is ran by a central agency or ministry that is over all local branches. Unlike the US system in which local departments are largely responsible for themselves, for example currently the US has around 18,000 different agencies ("United States", 2014). While the UK has 46 agencies ("United Kingdom", 2014) and Japan has 47 agencies ("Japan", 2014). The almost 18,000 agencies in the US are individually governed, so to speak. Each agency answers to a higher power, our local law enforcement that is managed by and answers to the mayor and the City Council. Larger cities or metropolitan areas often also have a federal law enforcement agency branch in the city. The federal enforcement agency located there reports to the federal office of that particular agency. The common local law enforcement handles the simple day-to-day tasks of keeping the town running and in order, while the federal law enforcement handles issues like kidnapping and bank robbery. Then there are specialty departments with in these agencies. Such as departments that are over parks or airports, there are also federal agencies over specific enforcement such as the ATF that enforces laws about Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. According to "About Atf" (2014), ATF is a unique law enforcement agency in the United...

...12 principles that administrators, workers, clients, and board members should take into account in the human service field. It is important to execute procedures and protocols that address consumers without social partiality in social systems. Contained in this paper, the reader has a impression of how a dream organization or agencies arrange quality service delivery to their consumers. The expression empowerment connects to the English word power. Empowerment permits organizations, agencies, and selected individuals the authority to act for a precise aspiration or purpose (Rapport, 1987). Principles and Empowerment Approach Social service management consists of 12 basic principles that assist human service professional in supporting their clients through the application of the empowerment approach. The essayist will attempt to provide a summary and a concise account of how these approaches affect organizational structuring. First, an effective organization works diligently at designing a structured agency that offers support, provide resources, and encourage client participation.

Many agencies still introduce and utilize the classical theories approach. However, there is an enduring apprehension that these professionals are only carrying out tasks that he or she is comfortable with instead of what better meets the needs of...

...Health and Human Services Pauk A. Denett Director of Administration/Senior Procurement Executive Department of Interior Moving from Performance Measurement to Performance Management Guide to a Balanced Scorecard: Performance Management Methodology Preface T he members of the Procurement Executives’ Association (PEA) - an informal association of civilian procurement executives - have redesigned their programs for performance evaluation and management of acquisition systems. They have moved from headquartersbased, process-oriented oversight programs to ones which rely more on self or local assessment of performance against departmental or agency expectations. Through the use of assessment approaches based on performance measurement models developed by a federal interagency team chartered by this Association, the participating procurement organizations have fundamentally redesigned performance assessment. From the very beginning of the transition from the traditional purchasing system reviews to the redesigned assessment approach that replaced them, it was understood that further refinement and continuous improvement was planned. Consistent with that...

We will identify and describe services provided by mental health, discuss interoperability and human services, describe three modes of interoperability, describe how each model could be integrated into the organization, and possible back up plans should technology fail. Mental Health Provider and Services Provided The mental health organization provides services to adult, children, adolescents, and families as a unit. The service varies according to the need of the individual or family. A mental health provider may work in different settings, such as private practice, hospitals, community agencies, or other facilities. They include but not limited to: psychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatric mental health nurse, physician assistant, licensed clinical social worker, licensed professional counselor, or clergy. According to Mayo Clinic (Staff, 1998-2015), the psychiatrists diagnose and treat mental disorders, provide counseling, and provide medication to the client. The psychologist can diagnose and treat the disorder while providing counseling. They are unable to provide medication but can make a referral.

...organization in today’s society, including entertainment, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, even law enforcement agencies. Information Technology is used to aid in storing, retrieving, analyzing raw data and transforming it into information in a timely and efficient manner. This paper focuses on law enforcement agencies and the implementation of Information Technology to optimize their ability to predict and reduce crime through predictive policing. Predictive policing is the usage of statistical information and analytical techniques used to identify potential offenders and crime hot spots and aid in crime prevention. Predictive policing allows law enforcement agencies to become less reactive and more proactive by predicting and preventing crime before it happens. Predictive policing is attracting increasing attention from law enforcement agencies around the country as departments struggle to fight crime at a time when budgets are being slashed (Goode, 2011). An innovation technology in predictive policing is a computer statistic or comparative statistic model known as COMPSTAT. COMPSTAT is a multifaceted dynamic approach to crime prevention, quality of life improvement, and personnel and resource management. COMPSTAT is an information system that identifies established and emerging crime trends for the efficient use of resources to target those trends. The COMPSTAT system represents one method of utilizing and making effective use of existing computerized data. The process revolves...

...Criminal Justice System Lessons Learned Post 9/11 The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of interagency collaboration in the criminal justice system, the changes that were made and lessons learned following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the wake of the events that followed the 9/11 attacks many problems were revealed within the criminal justice system, especially those affecting the law enforcement community. One of those problems was the lack of interaction between the police departments and other local/state law enforcement with the federal law enforcement agencies. Local law enforcement agencies are the primary responders to any incident of crime or terror, therefore developing a better interagency collaboration in order to share information is essential in order to prevent future attacks. Prior to the 9/11 attacks many of the agencies believed in keeping information within their own realm due to protocols and security clearances. These criminal justice agencies each had pieces to a puzzle, but because these agencies never worked together, those pieces would never be put together to reveal the bigger picture. The 9/11 events revealed the lack of interaction and set about a positive change that would impact the way the criminal justice system approached their problem solving. One of those changes was the reorganization of the federal law enforcement agencies, including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation...
