...force remains highly trained, professional and effective. The theory behind my thesis statement is that police officers are starting their law enforcement careers later in life (Mineard, 2006), are more diverse, have higher education and more life experiences. In the past, police officers were minimally trained, entered their careers at twenty-one or twenty-two years of age and had limited or no life experience prior to becoming police officers. Many law enforcement officers of the past entered police work directly from military service or school. Police training was developed during the early nineteenth century and the methods of training police officers have not change much over the past two decades. With the advent of the more mature, experienced and educated entry-level police officer, comes the need to reassess the training methods and adapt them to more effective methods for adult learners. Gone is the day of telling a rookie officer to sit in the car, keep quiet and do everything the training officer tells them. The military style training of blindly following leaders and trainers is not a reality in the twenty-first century. Officers who are better educated and have more life experience will, naturally, ask more questions, have more of an analytical approach to policing and will need to have the training adapted to their style of learning. New officers will have a different look at society, have different ethical standards and generally will not...

...ETHICS Ethics “The discipline dealing with what is good and bad with moral duty and obligation” (Webster, 2011). Ethics can be applied to every aspect of life the way an individual should or should not deal with any given situation. This paper will cover how ethics is relevant in academics, law enforcement, and the insurance industry. ACADEMICS The academic ethic is a learned behavior; however, it is often argued that it is developed over a person life span. “The daily practice of ethics promotes an ethical culture and prepares students for important decisions while they are students and later as business leaders” (Jude & DePree, 2010). Ethical behavior is very important to everyday decisions within the academic or workplace. Ethics have put students to the test when making decisions of cheating on a test or plagiarism. These decisions made by the students can damage their school record and even their name within the student’s school. This is also can arise signals of future misconduct as a professional. The College Student Journal conducted a study and “found that students who possessed an academic ethic earned higher grades than those who did not possess one. It discovered that students with an academic ethic were less likely to commit acts of academic dishonesty and earned higher grade point averages" (43; 1). The study also discovered "that woman was more likely to possess an academic ethic than men" (43; 1). “The same is true of deans and faculty. And deans...

...Student Success at University of Colorado at Boulder The most notable factor that makes the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU Boulder) a successful institution is their support for inclusive excellence and diversity. The University provides a strong academic environment where classrooms are maximized the size of fifty to twenty-five people so students can have attention from their professors for additional help on subjects from social sciences to engineering and mathematics. The academic and student environment is what implements the goal to train students to dedicate their service to society as future engineers and leaders who seek entrepreneurship or as military officers. Society needs great people who are willing to dedicate a life of service in any career field they desire and would care to have the desire to become a leader in their own vision.

...College life for many students means freedom and a chance to find ones true self. As students leave home for college parents are proud but also worry about what awaits the incoming freshman. Crime is present even on campuses and some may argue that crime is more prevalent on college campuses. Some campuses have more crime than others and it largely depends on the city. Under aged drinking, drug use, and rape are the major crimes people fear when attending college. Research by Noonan and Vavra stated that school related crime is “one of the most troublesome social problems in the nation” (Hess & Orthmann, p. 251). This type of crime is something that does not need to be over looked but some of it is blown out of proportion. Incidents on campuses receive a large amount of media coverage which makes it seem more widespread than other crimes. People create a negative idea of college life based on what is aired on television. Media latches onto anything that will get views and headlines about crime involving minors or college students are attention grabbers. This creates an unrealistic idea that campuses are a place to be feared. Contrary to this idea, FBI research shows that less than four percent of crime from 2000 to 2005 took place on college campuses or in public schools (Hess & Orthmann, p. 251). Such a low percentage over a five year period should open eyes. This is not to say that the offenses should be taken any less serious, but people should realize that college...

The problem is we need quicker response time in order to greatly decrease and/or prevent school violence in the future. The presence of an armed force in a school should be mandatory for every school, it enables a sense of safety for the students, it also provides a decrease in student...

...The Indian Navy now interacts and operates with almost all major navies of the world, and is an ambassador of the nation. The Naval personnel have to be smart, eloquent and quick thinking to project the right image of the nation. Technology has always been led by the demands of the armed forces, and the Indian Navy is in the forefront in this aspect. All recent inductions are in the cutting edge of technology. To maximise the effect of technology, and to use them sensibly and responsibly, the Indian Navy needs youth with the correct education, intelligence and mental make up. 2. The Times of India, dated 07 Mar 2011 reported that the armed forces are facing a shortage of 15,004 officers.

...The Job of Police Officers A police officer’s duty is to maintain public order, preventing, and detecting crime. The concept of police officers, also known as cops, and law enforcement has been around ever since the since ancient time had a theory that an organization of “peacekeepers” would reduce the crime and violence being committed. This theory stuck with society and is still around today. People of law enforcement have a mission when they step into their police car, that mission is to enforce the rules of conduct or law. Of course, accomplishing this mission can be dangerous. Often when a cop leaves his or her house to go to work worries start to set it, such as “will I be coming back home when my day is over” or “will a simple traffic stop go sour and someone ends up dead?” These thoughts are a part of the stress that comes with the job and most people are trained to deal with this stress. Speaking of training, there are classes that a high school student can take to prepare for a career in law enforcement. Psychology, sociology, foreign languages, and computer courses are recommended for those students who plan to take criminal justice as their higher education major. Participating in sports can improve your chances on becoming an officer of law because it improves strength and endurance. Other student activities can be helpful in this career because they help to improve leadership skills and other publications. Every law enforcement agency has different requirements...

...tends to say that young children are the future. However, how can they be the future of society if they are never in school or getting involved in gang activities? The 113th precinct surroundings consist of a lot of building and very little privilege individuals who rely on the government. To make the world a better place it is very vital that students take heed of their studies in school. Bullying, personal matters, and bad influences can be blamed for the reasons why students decide to truancy. Being the Commanding Officer of the 113th precinct I would make some vital decisions. Decisions such as getting the community involved to help me solve the problems. I would ask individuals living in the community to encourage students to attend school and don’t leave ahead of time. I would place more officer on duty around or nearby each school so when students leaving they can be caught. Also I would tell my staff to ask students for their I.D and class schedule. Also I would try making it a rule /law that any students get caught truancy will be summoned to a fine. The fine will go up each time an individual is caught. This will deter students from leaving school because of the fear of getting caught and having to pay a fine. Teachers...

...two of my own. I just wanted to be that person that inspired a student become someone in life. 2003 Teacher of the Year Helen Elizabeth Rogers (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2014) stated “I believe the teacher must embrace the whole child in caring and positive manner…” I have always wanted to be like my first grade teacher. She made an ever lasting impression in my life. She was a very dedicated and compassionate person. I will never forget that she went to my house every day to take me my homework and daily school work since I was not allowed to go to school when I had the chicken pox. Not only did she drop off my school work, she also went over the new material. When I was allowed to return to school, I was not behind in any of the courses. At first, I wanted to teach 4th or 5th grade students. But in talking to my Algebra high school teacher, my decision changed to become a math teacher. I have always loved math and with the growth of math teacher shortages I decided to teach middle school math with the intention to one day becoming a high school math teacher. I wanted to be able to prepare those students for their next chapter in their lives just as 2009 Teacher of the Year Anthony J. Mullen (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2014) stated “A teacher can receive no greater reward than the knowledge that he or she helped recover a lost student” I wanted to be that teacher that helped the students move on to higher education than give up just after high school...

...Imagine being a college student, hearing of thieves that steal textbooks and computers. You think that having a legal gun offers you a sense of protection and it scares the other thieves. Now imagine yourself as a stressed out college student who has a hard time controlling your emotions. One night your future is taken away from you and your put in a difficult predicament. The gun that you own assures you that you can get revenge. College students should not be allowed to have guns on campus. Allowing a young adult to own a gun on school campus endangers the life of other students and people. As a mother, I wouldn’t want to attend a college where reckless young adults are allowed to have guns. Not all college students are mature enough to handle the responsibility and repercussions that comes with owning a gun. There is also the question of how mentally stable they are. The stress of working and college exams can cause someone to do something they might regret, and if that person is allowed to own a gun, they are not only threat to someone else, but to their selves also. If college students feel unsafe, a solution would be to improve security. As a college student, would you rather your peers own a gun or the professionals? If college campuses hired more police officers, they could keep a watch on the school grounds and the dormitories longer and better. Police officers are trained to handle dangerous situations that may arise. A college student most likely would not know...

...Imagine walking into school expecting to learn a new lesson, and that one day might change the rest of your life or end it. Gun violence in schools have impacted society in ways that parents start to question if their child’s school has safe protection for students. The impact of gun violence have lead people into deep depression physically, mentally, and emotionally. President Trump has come to the conclusion of allowing teachers that want to carry a gun on them throughout the day have that right to do so. Schools should not allow teachers to carry guns on them due to the amount of distractions and the lack of experience. To begin, schools allowing teachers to carry guns may cause students to feel unsafe. Firstly, schools should not allow...
