Dear Mimi,
How are you my dear sister? I hope you are fine. Don't worry about me; I am very fine. I am now a very strong young man you know. How are those wonderful brothers of mine? Pass them my greetings.

I received you letter. Thanks a million for writing. The brothers and sisters in my congregation are fine. I am only sorry to heat that Br. Banda is still sick. I hope he will recover soon.

My journey back here was fine, though it was quite a long one. I wanted to travel by CR bus but guess what; all the wretched buses wee full so I had no choice but to travel by a small Rosa bus. The journey took seven hours. \By the time we reached, my legs were tired and my bottom was severely sore, ugh! Next time, I promise , I'm not gonna use one of 'em tiny buses!

I am glad you have a new literature teacher. Work very hard Mariam, I know you can do it. Follow that plan I gave you and put your heart to it, You will be successful . I am glad you are Liberian. Did I tell you what that I am librarian to, eh?

Finally Mariam, I would like to wish you all the best in your studies and all your endeavors. Don't forget God. I love you and miss you; can't wait see you again..

Take care
Michael

Elk Creek, Alberta – Any mention of teenagers and police officers in the same setting generally conjures up images of wild house parties getting busted—which is precisely the image Sgt. Karin Occino wants to change.
Starting September 1, the Alberta Police Station is organizing daily office hours, officially known as “Officer Hours,” that place a designated sergeant at the high school for an hour each day in an effort to improve relations between teens and the police in town.
“There wasn’t always such a strained relationship with the kids in this town,” said Occino. “A few years ago, the majority of teens and youths knew most of the officers by name and viewed them as a source of protection. Now it seems like we’re distrusted—seen only as

    Our society has become corrupt at each level, and the police force is no exception. While most officers are committed to maintaining honor and integrity in their service to the public, there will be crime or misconduct among both female and male officers (Gottschalk, 2011). Police officers should be upholding the image of sacrifice, dignity, and overall competency (Gottschalk, 2011). Unfortunately, corruption can happen and add distrust amongst the public toward the public service of police officers. These actions of misconduct can include oppression, racial profiling, physical or emotional abuse of power, overall mistreatment of citizens or prisoners in their care, extortion, misuse of information or perjury, and overall manipulation (Gottschalk, 2011).…

    Police Departments in the United States have grown over time to be more diverse. “The virtually all-white, virtually all-male departments of the 1950s and 1960s have given way to departments with large numbers of female and minority officers. Openly gay and lesbian officers, too, are increasingly commonplace. (Sklansky, p. 1210)” This essay focuses on the demographics of the police department, who the police are, the struggles minorities encounter as police officers, and how society perceives police departments.…

With this tremendous responsibility comes inherent scrutiny. The practices and operations of police agencies are under constant surveillance by the public as well as other policing agencies.

    Ethnic Diversity In Canada

    In many situations they are often reached out to for taking control of the issue in order to help resolve civilian’s problems. Not all calls to the police result in the arrest of an individual, the police should only take such measures depending on the severity of the incident and the obstruction of the law. In many communities, there are often reoccurrences of similar types of petty crimes. For example, a young teen, living in a low income district, in a single parent home may be more drawn to stealing from stores as a result of the socio-economic factors influencing his behavior. The way an officer approaches an individual should depend on the situation, the environment, and other influential factors which may play a role in the criminality of that individual. Minority youth face a lot of prejudice from the police resulting in rather negative conclusions towards innocents in many cases (Nordberg et al, 2015, 10). Therefore, to have the training and knowledge of the diverse society the police is serving in is necessary as it may be used as a skill to help people feel comfortable with law enforcers. These skills can be translated into building a relationship with the community which may better the result of communicating enforcement of the law (Nordberg et al, 2015, 2). The Youth in Policing Initiative is a program, which reaches out to diverse young Canadians to gain experience working in police departments and learning how to serve and protect their communities (DaSilva, 2015, 1). The Youth in Policing Initiative program, allows youth to learn how to work with other from diverse backgrounds and experience in policing as they are trained for the job. This program is one of many that are an effort to recruit diverse and ethnically familiar individuals to represent the future of law enforcement in Canada (DaSilva, 2015,…

    Over the years, police have been portrayed in the media, television shows, and the local newspaper as crime fighting heroes. This portrayal would make one think a police officer is always out doing a dangerous job, which may require shooting, beating up, or arrested the bad guy. The truth is, most officers will not make a felony arrest in a given year, and there are also many officers who have never fired their weapon. There are various perspectives of the policing functions. I will examine these perspectives from the local, state, and federal organizational levels. I will identify and address possible future changes in laws and the overall impact these changes will have on the field of policing.…

    * The new perspective paints a more favorable view of police culture. Despite the secret nature of this population, police officers continue to help people and serve the community (Walker & Katz, 2011). Despite any possible stereotypes police officers may have, they still serve and protect individuals in need. According to Herbert’s Dimensions of Police Subculture policing is a culture that lives by the law, controlled, active, safe, competent, and morally good.…

    Police Reform

    • 1214 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Stoughton contends that a more fundamental reform is necessary: the core principles of policing need to be adjusted to change how officers view their job and their relationship with the community. The article also contributes to the discussion by arguing that police reform requires changing officers’ attitudes about policing itself. A few things the article stated was to encourage rightful policing, the value system that guides officer decision making must encourage individual officers to continually reconcile the short-term goals of policing, such as order maintenance and crime response, with the long-term goals, particularly improving police/community relations. To that end, law enforcement culture should seek to instill in officers the priorities of a Guardian: protecting civilians from unnecessary indignity and harm. Part I describes the evolution of policing, tracing the profession’s guiding principles and distinguishing characteristics from the world’s first modern public police agency. Part II introduces the Warrior principles that have permeated modern policing and discusses the effect those principles have had on the profession. It first describes the positive attributes of the Warrior that policing so highly values: honor, duty, resolve, and a willingness to engage in righteous violence. It then explores the psychological and practical appeal of the Warrior concept, and it describes how the Warrior imagery and rhetoric have become ubiquitous in law enforcement. Part III offers an alternative set of guiding principles in the form of Guardian policing. Guardian policing has enjoyed a surge in popularity among some police leaders, and Guardian rhetoric has appeared in the report issued by President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, popular media stories, and articles intended for a law enforcement audience. We previously as a class readied and discussed as wrote analysis on the 21st Century of Policing and the panel…
