...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 quick decisions...

...Functions Sara Powell CJA/394 February 7, 2012 Patrick Daulton Introduction Law enforcement agencies in the United States have numerous different functions. There are three basic levels of law enforcement; Federal, state, and local level. Each level of law enforcement is organized to deliver effectively the services that meet the public’s needs. Collectively these levels and agencies work together to achieve many duties. Whereas each level of law enforcement has its own responsibilities and procedures, their functions are very comparable. Research reveals the various roles of each police agency at its perspective level, how these functions compare to each other, and the impact these roles have in a community. Basic Functions of Policing First, the basic functions of police agencies include law enforcement, arresting offenders, crime prevention, maintaining order, and providing other services to community members in need. Many of these functions may coincide with each other. As an example while enforcing the laws, officers are often required to arrest the offender, which results in the maintenance of order. These functions in turn help prevent future crime. Federal Level of Policing The Federal level of policing includes organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The FBI, for example, is the Nation’s premier law enforcement organization and is responsible...

...University of Phoenix CJA/394 - Contemporary Issues and Futures in Criminal Justice Week 2 December 22, 2014 Prof. Hector Garcia An organizational structure determines how the roles, power and responsibilities, controlled and coordinated, and how information flows between different levels of management are assigned. A structure depends on the objectives and strategy of the organization. In a centralized structure, the top layer of management has the most power of decision and has tight control over the departments and divisions, is where he takes the situation as a last resort for one last final word. In a decentralized structure, decision-making power is distributed and departments and divisions may have different degrees of independence. A company like Procter & Gamble sells multiple products can organize their structure so that the groups are divided according to each product and depending on the geographical area as well. Police organizations respond to the crime after it happens and in an organized manner starting with a routine patrol called in by radio where they visit the location reported for a possible intervention or arrest. In the division of tasks for the police first start with the patrol, then a call to action, intervention or arrest, investigation and then share the information which can all throw by one or more agents as simultaneously if it would be customer service outside the police offered by an agent according to the organization which usually is driven...

...Court Issues Analysis University of Phoenix David Hunt CJA/394 March 7, 2013 Timothy English Court Issues Analysis According to Muraskin and Roberts (2009), one strong current that emerged during the latter part of the twentieth century was the quest for personal safety, stability, and risk reduction in an otherwise unpredictably dangerous world. Crime prevention programs on a societal level tackle the social roots or social conditions that breed lawlessness. Victimization prevention strategies have much more modest goals: to reduce the odds of violence and theft faced by specific individuals, small groups, and communities. Commercial interests have discovered that crime victims constitute a significant group of consumers of goods and services that allegedly will help reduce the risks of being harmed physically, emotionally, or financially, and speed recovery. The market will surely expand for high-tech victimization prevention gadgetry and private security, protection management, and loss prevention services. Already, the ranks of police departments, sheriff’s departments, and other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are reinforced by a growing number of security consultants, private detectives, and personal bodyguards along with night watchmen, store detectives, hotel detectives, chauffeurs, even doormen. Antitheft devices already abound and will become even more commonplace. Alarm systems are being sold as standard equipment on vehicles, boats,...
