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 investigation of criminal activity, collection of evidence, prosecution of criminals, giving referrals to court the results of investigation, maintenance of order and service to the public. They are also responsible in giving first response to emergencies, calamities...

...and internal auditing are the primary fields with many sub-fields that can be entered into. Accounting, of all types, is a constant demand field. A brief search with the term “accountant” yielded over 500 results on USAJobs.gov alone. Two of the accounting fields that interest me most are Forensic Accounting, and Tax Accounting. These two areas appear to be the most involved and ever changing areas in accounting. A Tax accountant is accountable for the collection of tax-related information, reporting to taxation authorities at the federal, state, county, and local levels in a timely manner, and advising management on the tax impact of various corporate strategies. And a Forensic Accounting is the examination of financial records that will lead to or result from litigation. The results of a forensic accounting investigation can be used as evidence in court, and so are usually heavily documented. With the ever-changing US tax code and the increased scrutiny that business is beginning to face, due to things like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, these two areas can be the difference between jail and smooth operation. Forensic Accounting is a field that I researched more in-depth. The academic skills necessary for a career in forensic accounting are similar to any other accounting job. One would need a degree in accounting, a CPA, and often need to be a Certified Fraud Examiner. With the high earning potential of this field, many organizations look for extensive education. A master’s degree...

...agencies are all separately decided. In an already complicated system, it is becoming complex with the growth of private security firms; they operate on a for-profit basis and provide services that have traditionally been regarded as law enforcement activities (Schmalleger 2011).

...EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY OF LEFKE NAME: JESSE RYAN JOHNSON STUDENT ID: 154262 COURSE: CRISIS MANAGEMENT (CASE ANALYSIS) WEALTH MANAGEMENT CRISIS AT UBS (B) INTRODUCTION UBS has taken decisive and proactive steps to strengthen its crisis resilience by transforming its strategy and significantly improving its capital strength. The Swiss bank UBS became embroiled in controversy starting in 2008 when the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) made a formal request to travel to Switzerland to probe a multi-billion-dollar tax evasion case involving the bank. The investigation had, in part, been prompted by disclosures made by Bradley Birkenfeld, a former UBS banker in Switzerland, who testified to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The issue started by Birkenfeld's whistleblowing and resulting controversy created unprecedented pressure on UBS, the Swiss banking industry and the Swiss government from the U.S eager to claw back delinquent taxes from assets their taxpayers had stashed in offshore accounts maintained by UBS and other Swiss banks. On February 2008 the US department of justice DOJ announced a deferred prosecution agreement with UBS. Whose term allowed UBS to avoid criminal indictment in return of payment of $780 million which comprises interest, penalties, and restitution for unpaid taxes, as well as the 250 names of the US Client who invaded TAXES by hiding assets in Switzerland. Other countries followed the US lead, relying on data that was stolen from...

...Versus Private Security Comparison Paper AJS/502 November 23, 2013 Public Policing Versus Private Security Comparison Paper An individual seeking employment dealing with police work has the option of either obtaining a job as a private security officer or a police officer. Many similarities and differences exist concerning the two roles of public policing and private security. How private security and police officers operate and work together among the two organizations is different, but both entities display leadership responsibilities. The influences that both organizations have on the criminal justice system would be much better if both entities would join forces and collaborate on strengthening their relationship and working toward protecting society. This paper will highlight the differences and similarities between the two roles, how the leadership differs between the two roles, and what the relationship of each role is with the criminal justice system. The paper will also draw attention to what the essential policies for each role are and identify and discuss the significance of a comprehensive security plan, and what its main components are. Differences Both private security and public security are similar in many ways, but major differences between the two entities do exist. A distortion often exists between the dissimilarities of private and public policing. The individuals who work as private security officers have a mirror image in appearance...

...Keishla M. Del Valle Marrero 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...

Investigation Principles Investigations are the examination, study, tracking, and the gathering of factual information (Sennewald-Tsukayama 2006). With this being said the investigation process is more of an art form than it is science, but science in many investigations plays a large part. The person that is doing the investigation is the gather of facts; this person must hypotheses and is able to draw a conclusion that is based on the information and the evidence. The basic principle in investigation is that the process is a comprehensive activity that involves the collection of information with the application of logic and the ability to use sound reasoning.

...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...
