Order maintenance policing (OMP), community-oriented policing (COP) and reactive policing are three different models of policing that are used within law enforcement agencies in the U.S. This paper will compare these three models of policing. It will also discuss which models would benefit the most from effective crime analysis.OMP is a model of policing that stems from the theory of “broken windows” defined by Wilson and Kelling (1982). The broken windows theory states that if a community allows itself to be physically neglected, it will attract crime. Graffiti, litter, abandoned buildings and broken windows are all signs that a community is negligent and therefore will not put forward much effort to oppose a criminal element in its midst. First, the crime will be small—acts of vandalism and theft; then it will escalate to drug dealing and violence. In order to prevent communities from falling to this type of environment, the OMP model of policing was implemented as a preventive measure. Some critics have charged that this type of policing is racist, as it tends to target mainly ethnic communities. However, OMP has been shown to be a model of policing that actually helps to reduce crime rates in communities that suffer from negligence—neighborhoods that would otherwise allow crime to flourish based on the broken windows theory. 1). In short, OMP allows officers to stop more people on the pedestrians and announce their presence more visibly—which in effect prevents neighborhoods from becoming overrun by a criminal element.
COP is a model of policing that encourages police to build relationships with the community and to work with community leaders to address issues within the neighborhoods. The objective of this model is to bridge the gap between the police department and the community, facilitate the establishment of trust and respect between the two spheres, boost communication, and strengthen the community overall. Community members are encouraged to report suspicious or unruly behavior to police and police are expected to interact with the community more openly, visibly, and in a positive and friendly manner so that the human face of both the police department and of the community can be better recognized, valued and appreciated by both (Saint Claire, 2018).
Reactive policing is also known as traditional policing and this model is based on the idea that police wait for a call to come in before being dispatched to the community to address a situation. As…
At this time there is no uniform consensus about what agencies have authority in the Middle East. The Dubai police are working with agencies including the Department of Homeland Security to establish a more democratic policing system. Despite their best efforts however, there still exist many groups within the Middle East that adopt radical approaches to policing. Not every agency agrees on uniform democracy, and some still prefer an

Police History Analyze the relationship between the U.S. government and the policing organizations throughout the United States. The relationship between the U.S. government and policing organizations is loosely coordinated. This means that local agencies will determine what personnel they hire and how different resources are utilized. In some cases, the various departments work for specific entities such as: colleges / universities or transit departments. Evidence of this can be seen with observations
Police Ethics Ethics, therefore, is not something that a policeman learns in the classroom -- yet, training classes are regularly scheduled -- and this picture of student not understanding why he is in the classroom is indicative of the problem of police ethics as a whole (Crank, Caldero, 2011). There is no established, realistic connection between policing and classroom ethics. The world of the streets is a different from the world
Policing Policies Analysis This study seeks to strengthen the practice of policing by demonstrating the effectiveness of the problem-oriented policing. The information provided herein is useful to practitioners as it compares problem-oriented policing against community-oriented policing. Practitioners will be able to create much robust policing intervention when addressing real life situations within the field by grasping the theoretical mechanisms (Hess & Orthmann, 2011). In addition, by linking academic theories to policing,
Police Administration; Structures, Processes, And Behaviors 8th Edition The Evolution of Police Administration Over the centuries, police administration has evolved in several important respects including how police have been organized and what they considered their core strategy for providing value to the communities they serve (Perry, 2001). It is argued that the present police work is not very different from previous police work performed by the London Bobbies in 1829 and the
