Knowing that there are programs out there to help make the community look better, be safer, and educate people gives citizens the impression that their police department is actually doing something and that they do care. The more effort that is put into organizing the programs the more likely they’ll be to help out police when they ask for it. It is easier to get along with the community you are serving if you have formed some type of bond or trust with them. The graffiti patrol makes the community look better by removing things that make a neighborhood look as if it is inhabited by vandals. The Police Explorer program teaches teens how to develop their leadership skills while they help out their community.…
Some very interesting topics that I have learned in this module are the different approaches and strategies that police use to implement their way of law enforcement. With community oriented policing a philosophy that has become much more mainstream in law enforcement agencies within the past 30-40 years or so, we see how departments began to change closer to how agencies behave today as compared to the professional crime fighters (Gardiner, 2017). I’ve observed how police agencies have used both problem oriented policing and especially Broken Windows Policies interchangeably in different cities and even in different parts of the city. Broken window policy was enforced heavily in the train stations of the city I grew up in. I recall vaguely in my childhood in the early 2000’s in San Francisco of the metro train cars often being covered with marker graffiti that would not be taken off until months later.…
Module 1.4: Modern Day Policing Much has been said about the role of policing over the last few years as it pertains to counter-terrorism, as our world has moved towards an increasingly anxious state of attempting to stop crimes and plots before they happen, similar to the plot of the movie “Minority Report”. Attacks such as 9/11 have caused the world, but especially America, previously almost entirely unscathed by international conflict on its mainland, have caused us to rethink policing, and through legislation such as the PATRIOT Act, surveillance and profiling have become some of the main ways departments try and fight terrorism. As a result, this has caused strain on the communities they intend to serve, as well as putting a serious tax…

The duty of predictive policing is to integrate information and operations by seeing the big picture of situations occurred and results into an adaptability to change conditions.

Community Oriented Policing Law enforcement agencies do their very best to find criminals responsible for destruction that’s been or will be caused, though sometimes it can be a daunting task that seems impossible. Typically citizens look to law enforcement for help, but in special cases those very same agencies may need to look back at the citizens for help solving a case. This use of the community is referred to as community oriented policing, and if implemented correctly, can be a very efficient tool in handling cases that seem otherwise impossible to solve.…

The differences between community policing and traditional policing are important to understand. Community policing puts society and quality of living as a priority, which can target the real issues of society (Carter & Sapp, 1994), whereas traditional law enforcement focuses on arrest and investigation. Random patrolling and other activities that law enforcement do is still a part of strategies, but it is not a primary objective for community policing. Creating a safe community, satisfaction with the police, and decreasing fear of crime are objectives (Wycoff & Manning, 1983). Community policing allows for a “broad police function” (Kelling, Trojanowicz, & Moore, 1999).…
