She has spent 18 years working through the ranks to achieve this high of a position in her agency and she is familiar with the internal problems her agency has a problem with. All the patrol officers believe they have a heavy workload and complain that they go from one incident to the next and spend too much time generating reports. The patrolmen fell that they have to cut corners to get their preliminary investigations completed because the time consumed generating reports. The patrol officers do not interact with each other except during shift change and roll call. A survey shows that the job is viewed as dissatisfying, morale is low, response time is long, the number of citizen-initiated complaints is up, more officers are filing disability claims, and employee turnover is exceeding projections. Captain Edith Strong is now in a position to make a difference to create a solution program that meets the needs of the department and the employees (More, Vito, & Walsh, 2012,).…

Police history can be traced back to the 18th century. When looking at the subject of police work there is significant culture and history that follows along with it. There are many topics that can be analyzed when identifying and describing the elements and the significances that are associated with policing.

Another factor that plays a role in police culture can be found when one examines how women and ethnic minorities have achieved equality in law enforcement.…
The University of Texas at Austin is one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, it is among one of the highest in graduation rates, campus size and amount of students that attend there. While the University of Texas has such a high attendance of students that go there, the local municipal departments of Austin is right along the road with honors and recognition. Though the city of Austin is not big in citizen count, the local municipal department has its work cut out for them, the crime rate is not low for its amount of citizens the city has in total. We shall compare these two police departments that will be covering the University of Texas and also we will also cover the local Austin police department. The areas we will be covering will include agency’s staffing, divisions and services. Then we will cover the area of the organizational structure, crime statistics and other pertinent features from those agencies.

SWAT teams are increasingly being deployed across the country -- and it 's happening with almost no supervision. For nearly half a century, America’s police forces have undergone a process of “militarization.” They’ve upped their cache of assault weapons and military defense gear, increasingly deployed SWAT teams to conduct ops-style missions on civilians, and inculcated a warrior attitude within their rank. While major metropolitan areas have maintained SWAT teams for decades, by the mid 2000’s, 80 percent of small towns also had their own paramilitary forces. But beyond deep reporting of individual journalists and scholars, little is known about the extent of militarization across…
