Racism And Prejudice In Law Enforcement

While being an officer of the law my sworn duty is to uphold the law and bring peace to any giving situation to the best of my ability. Racism and prejudice are alive and well in America I believe because of people do not the time to learn about the different culture that exist in our society.The law enforcement agency has to continue bridging the gap between races if order is to maintain. If I were on duty and a call came concerning an altercation between two different races I would first start by calling for backup to clear the area of all individuals black or Korean who are not involved in the situation and simply just there to cause confusion. I would then bring the two parties involved together in one open area to begin trying to find
out what the whole situation is about keeping in mind anger is involved. My primary goal is to come both sides down and at the same time use strategies that would probably influence the behavior of all individuals involved and maybe they then can let other parties know to stop their protest and go home. I also would keep in mind that while gathering information that will help my investigation to keep an open mind because I recognize that both sides will say things about other simply because of anger I to Beginning with the store owner I allow he or she the opportunity to tell me what happened to the best of his ability without upsetting the other party while not being interrupted by the other party. The second party would be given the same opportunity to give his or her side of the story without interruption only focusing on the main issue at hand. I would listen carefully at one party at a time not taking the side of either one but only interjecting on commits that I believe that’s healthy to the process of peace.
