These people often lack familiarity with public safety operations. Campus chiefs of police and directors of security are often challenged by the opposing interests of their chief executive officers. Informing campus leaders about importance of public safety is vital to its success. Nonetheless, time constraints and other challenges and priorities imposed on these leaders make it difficult for them to devote any time to security and safety matters before the problems arise (National Summit of Campus Public Safety, 2005).
The look and feel of security on college and university campuses has changed dramatically since September 11th. Colleges and universities have implemented the following:
- updated their campus emergency management plans to include response protocols for an active shooter on campus, bomb threat, evacuation, lockdown and other high probability incidents that might occur.
- registered their campus emergency management plans with their local municipal police departments and county offices of emergency management.
- begun holding regular active shooter simulation training for sworn officers (Canas,
2008).
In order to further these efforts that have been taken, experts suggest that there should be a national agenda on campus safety created that sets forth both short-term and long-term direction. This agenda should be developed and embraced jointly by the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and other federal and nonprofit agencies and organizations committed to...
There needs to be one plan in place so that everyone is on the same page.
They feel that without this national agenda approaches to strengthening campus safety and security will remain fragmented. The main concerns that the field considers important will be relegated to a lesser concern or ignored as the nation moves to embrace homeland security. "Associations, professional organizations, foundations, and government agencies will continue to function independently, at times duplicating their efforts or working in conflict with each other" (National Summit of Campus Public Safety, 2005).
A national agenda on campus safety would confirm the common principles embraced by the various agencies and associations that serve the field. It should be concise document that suggests strategic targets, points of intervention, and responsibilities for key people. It should provide a road map for enhancing and improving campus safety (National Summit of Campus Public Safety, 2005).

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
As this study points out, these encounters can lead to negative situations and even to death, injuries and legal issues. In essence, the relationship and involvement of the police from a formal point-of-view is based on two common law principles. These are, the facility and the responsibility of the police to protect the safety and welfare of the public, and secondly the principle of parens patriae, which dictates protection for
Not only doe s this approach include the participation of the community it also incorporates organizational change. Both community involvement and organizational change is necessary if policing efforts are going to be effective. This approach also emphasizes the importance of trust between the police and the community. The community oriented approach to policing is the most effective in the solving and reducing of crime within a community. Conclusion For the purposes
Patrol crafts would be deployed along the coastal areas waiting to act upon any information provided to confiscate drugs and arrest drug traffickers. For this purpose, the city police would be armoured with 2 well-equipped fast patrol crafts. Communication services between the stations and the patrol crafts would be state of the art including GPS systems and radar networks to facilitate identifying and tracking down of suspicious activity in
Philosophy Police Ethics Learning Police Ethics Learning police ethics and responsible behavior on the job are important functions of a police professional's duty. By definition, police officers have sworn to protect and serve the community. However, if they act unethically at any time then they could do harm to the community as opposed to help support it. Deviant behaviors among the police force can do significant harm to the reputation of the
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,
