Discipline is used in all sectors of the Public Services; this means that they are more likely to do what is required of them even if they disagree with what they’ve been asked to do. However, it can always be written in the report afterwards so it is made clear to those in the higher ranks who may read it. Discipline ensures that all Uniformed Public Services and the public are not put in unnecessary danger. The need and role of discipline within the Police In the police the role of discipline is essential. This is because should Members of the police wish to abuse his or her power, they can’t do so as easily as there are consequences that have been put into place to reduce it happening. For example, if a police offer pulled someone to the side and requested to search them, the individual has the right to request a reason for the search. The officer would need to have a good reason. Good reasons may be the individual looks like a suspect pending investigation or they have a strong reason to believe that the individual is carrying illegal substances on their person. This is a very good thing because the police used to be able to stop anyone without giving reasons. During 2010 and 2011 in England the number of stop and searches that then lead to arrests was over 60020 individuals...

...3 Conformity, Obedience and authority 27th November 2015 In this assignment I will outline the terms conformity and obedience using references to the public services. I will then explain why they are important and relate them to Asch, Milgram and Zimbardo’s studies. Finally I will describe authority and its relation to the public services. 3.1 Conformity Conformity is when someone acts or behaves in accordance with another/ prevailing social standards, attitudes or practices. Following social norms (the unwritten rules of society) is a type of conformity. Social Norms are a common practise which everyone takes part in, even if it is unintentional. An example of a social norm is going to the back of a que, instead of walking past everyone to the front as we know it would not be accepted by others to do so. Most people conform to fit in or be liked by everyone. It is most common for people with low self-esteem to conform as there is a need for social approval, people who do not integrate tend to stand out and feel lonely in today’s society so they believe they need to conform to become a part of a group. Conformity takes place in every discipline environments, especially the uniformed public services. The Army, for example, issue their soldiers all with the same uniform and administer them with a daily routine. This type of conformity is so every soldier is treated equally and gain similar skill sets and knowledge. The routine the soldiers are given are not their day-to-day...

In the pre-event preparation stage, much training, information, and safety are critical to minimizing deaths and injuries that occur from emergencies. One type of situation that could occur and cause chaos is a neighborhood forest fire. Numerous people could respond to this event to aid in the public’s needs and to help prevent further complications or exacerbations of medical problems.

...this is used because the owner is typically responsible for the operations of the company. The person held accountable in centralized authority structures is held accountable by the top management for proper performance of the purchasing activities.
