The United States Army must develop and train its officers into leaders capable of winning our nation’s wars without losing the trust and confidence of the soldiers that they lead. There is an immediate need for the establishment of dedicated Aviation Branch Officer Career Management Teams (OCMT) at the Brigade and Battalion level within the Army’s Combat Aviation Brigades (CABs) to ensure the Army’s officers are being developed to the fullest extent possible. To date, the Army has failed in that endeavor.…
Captain Strong has several patrol officers that are dissatisfied with their jobs. They are feeling overwhelmed by the excessive workload, they are unable to complete their preliminary investigations and often have to cut corners on their shift. They are rarely allowing to socialize with other officers because they patrol alone and are not allowing to take a lunch break with more than one officer at one specific location (More, Chapter 6, 2012). They are having difficulty feeling like they are making a difference with their role in the police department. Captain Strong has several options of approaches on how to address these issues. It is imperative to the success of any police department to ensure their officers are motivated by the work they do. This motivation ensures they duties are performed appropriately, which helps to establish trust within the community.…
Before this course, my conception of the roles military officers in society and government had was that they were distinct individuals of a higher moral and ethical caliber. With these values came a voluntary but clear support of their chain of command and mission to defend the citizens of the United States of America. Prior to attending West Point, I observed an awkward separation between members of the armed forced and civilians due to lack of knowledge and familiarity of both worlds. Therefore, while I was aware that…
When I chose to come to West Point, the military was showing signs of decreasing their footprint in the Middle East to zero. However, I knew that I could still be put in harm’s way upon graduation. Being in harm’s way so others can live safely is the Army’s job, and EOD is the epitome of that. This is part of the reason I want to be an EOD officer. EOD soldiers are trained to mitigate explosive hazards so other units can complete their mission. The EOD mission is so important that wherever there is movement on deployment, there is a supporting EOD unit. I want to be part of something that has a visible impact in the fight.…

Prior to 1958, the idea of a civilian review board overseeing complaints against the police was unheard of. In that year however, Mayor Richard Dilworth of Philadelphia created such a body, called the “Police Review Board.” The board’s purpose was to “… receive, hear, and determine complaints by any person or organization of alleged misconduct to private citizens by personnel of the Philadelphia Police Department” (Naegele, 1965, p. 1).…
Develop an understanding of how officer management occurs in your unit and across the installation. In many cases, Division G2s have strong input in managing an installation’s MI CPT population. They may communicate about command or other KD opportunities; they may also facilitate inter-post transfers (IPT) for moves across organizational boundaries on the…
Regarding military police, Canada has one of the most highly trained individuals for this job in the world. The Canadian Forces Military Police (CFMP) contribute to not only the effectiveness and readiness of the Canadian Forces (CF) but also to the Department of National Defence (DND) through the provision of professional police, security and operational support services worldwide.[3]…
The author, who served 4 years in the United States Marine Corps, believes military veterans make great police officers because of the skill sets they develop over the course of their military careers. This paper will focus on a few of the many skill sets military veterans develop such as combat experience learned in the military and how it is put to use in police departments. The knowledge and experience acquired in firearms skills in the military which help as a police officer in the line of duty will be discussed. In addition to the physical fitness demands of the military compared to those in the state of Illinois police departments, which are less rigorous.…
I completely agree with your stance, I do indeed think that having a militaristic police force will only result in backlash from society; especially in low income neighborhoods/ urban areas. I do not necessarily think that it would make those in law enforcement "trigger happy," rather I think that it will lead them to feel as if they are more superior than everyone else. I would have to disagree with you when you stated that as a result of police officers in military gear will lower crime. I think their still will be an incline in crime.…
As a non-commissioned officer, I know that my unit, immediate leaders and the army expects me to be accountable. I must ensure that I follow the regulation (s) in the event that I may be out of work by:…
In order to be successful in any career one must be able to listen and take to heart the importance of what they are learning and doing throughout their lives; this has significance in both the military and civilian life. In order to do that you must follow whatever your superiors say, like when you are at your civilian job and your boss tells you to clean the bathroom. You have to be able to just do what you’re told so the job gets done, and you are also seen as a trustworthy employee. On the military side, it is self discipline. When an Non commissioned officer tells you to get something done there should be absolutely no argument or thought about it. The soldier has an easy job; A. Listen to what he is told, B. Be at the right place at the right time in the right uniform. It is important to do so so the mission goes as planned.…
