Corrective Action Plan
Introduction
When developing the strategic action plan, one of the key assumptions of the plan was that the community would participate and be part of surveys--but this assumption was flawed. Many members of the community refused to take part in these activities. As a result, the data that was collected was not as comprehensive or accurate as it could have been. Thus, this flaw in the plan led to some inaccuracies in the final report.
Problem in the Plan: Community Members Lacked Interest in Programs/Surveys and Did Not Participate
There is a problem when community members do not want to participate in surveys conducted by the police department. There are a few reasons why this is a problem. First, the police department needs feedback in order to improve its services. Without feedback, the department will not be able to identify areas that need improvement. Second, community members who do not participate in surveys may feel that their voices are not being heard. This can lead to frustration and mistrust of the police department. Finally, without participation from community members, the department will not be able to get an accurate picture of how its services are viewed by the public. In order to address this problem, the police department should work on building trust with the community and making it clear that their feedback is important. Additionally, the law enforcement initiatives and programs that need to be designed and implemented cannot be adequately done so without input from the community. As a result, if there is no participation from the community, the entire support for the plan crumbles and falls. The plan should reflect the needs or concerns of the people the plan is meant to serve, after all.
In most cases, their duties revolve around statewide investigations, highway patrols, and enforcing other traffic laws. They usually work with the Bureau of criminal investigations in dealing with emergencies, training law enforcement official and social crime such sex offenders and illegal drug abuse and other investigations that go beyond the jurisdiction and resources of the local police (Dantzker, 1999). On the other hand, the federal agency deals with not only
Police Department Organization: The local, state, and federal agencies are part of the criminal justice system that focuses on dealing with the problem of crime. The main components of the criminal justice system at all levels of government include police, courts, and corrections that deter or prevent criminal activities through arresting, trying and punishing criminals respectively. The local, state, and federal agencies have different functions that are geared towards the enforcement
Police Codes of Ethics Virtually all police departments have some kind of formal "Code of Ethics," or guidelines that tell the members of the police force what is and is not acceptable behavior. The people these officers are sworn to serve and protect expect ethical behavior from those officers, and in fact there are times when public or individual safety depends on the officers' determination to act in ethical and honest
Police Organization Operations The police department is one of the most significant departments in the supervision, maintenance and implementation of the societal order. It is the one that is entrusted with most of the communal maintenance of peace and order through the court orders, the constitution and the police daily routines of community service. The policing system in the U.S.A. has changed quite significantly from the time immemorial when the work of
Recent fatal attacks by police against unarmed citizens -- in particular African-American males -- have been portrayed as insensitive, illegal, and unnecessary violence by cable news programs over the past few years. And those televised reports (shown over and over) have caused angry citizens to participate in large demonstrations in American city streets. Fairly or unfairly, these incidents have caused citizens to turn against police departments -- albeit most police
Other ranks have their areas of responsibility and control covering a geographic area, a detective division, or a specialized division (Sworn Police Officer Class Titles and Job Descriptions, 2006). The internal structure of the two departments is not that different, while the areas covered and the number of officers in each department varies greatly. The LAPD covers more territory and does so with a smaller force, also relying more on
