When political anarchy, social injustices, and crime end up leading to civil depravities that go against the foundation of democracy, society depends on the police to come in and keep the peace, while attempting to restore the order. These officers are asked to pursue criminals in vehicles, and on foot, repeatedly expose themselves to the dangers of the crimes, and remain calm while being under pressure at all moments on the job, and even off duty. Being an officer of the law takes a special person
In order to diminish police brutality, excessive force, and prejudice behaviors in the police officers, several actions must be set in motion. The police hiring process, training, in-field monitoring, and disciplinary actions must be adjusted to eliminate discriminatory actions against citizens. Likewise, it is a necessity for citizens to be informed of their rights, civil liberties, and how they can resolve corruption within the justice system.

This paper will show four different police departments that are currently hiring or recruiting for police officers. There will be a summary on the research found on the process used to recruit police officers.

When applying to police departments I always research the department before submitting my application. I believe that a person needs to look for departments that match their own personal mission statement. If I find a police department that has a mission statement that matches my own, I will be able to have a long career there while reducing the risk of getting burnt out. When researching Oshkosh, the first thing that interested me was the team policing philosophy. I think that having strong relationships with the community an officer serves is the most important tool for an officer to have. If a community member get to know me and can see beyond the badge I am wearing, there is a much high chance that these members will be more willing to cooperate and work with the officers. The trust developed within a community can be the most important resource a
My grandfather was a police officer when he was younger; he would tell us stories of he and his buddies on motorcycle patrol and the life of a cop. The stories that he told were so interesting, that ever since, I wanted to have a career in law enforcement. After I graduated from high school, I enrolled in the law enforcement program at Spokane Community College where I planned to fulfill my dream of becoming a cop. I started the law enforcement classes at the college and came to the conclusion that law enforcement was not the career for me.
According to Strong Interest Inventory, it reveals that my personal values and potential skills can be a strong fit for law enforcement occupation. My highest personal preference is working with people, learn by doing, lead by taking charge, taking risks, and enjoy participating in teams. Working with others enhances my interpersonal skills that can help me make quick and decisions in any circumstances.
I’m drawn to the field because law enforcement is more than standardized tests. It compels candidates to analyze and conceptualize data, records, reports, and problems of crime and justice. Law enforcement intelligence draws on the empathy that its candidates are dedicated to effective policies and respect the culture, socio-economics, and the foundations of the communities it
Police recruitment is very important to all law enforcement agencies; it seeks to recruit, select, train and maintain the best possible officers (Grant et al, 2012). This paper will give you the reader a general understanding of police recruitment and also discuss some of the problems happening in police recruitment; past and present, along with remedies to these problems.
In the past eight years as a police officer for the City of South Salt Lake, I have found that personal growth and achievement in my career have been based on certain past experiences. Such experiences have molded what my personality is today. I have found that in order to be triumphant in my personal and professional goals, it has been necessary for me to reflect not only on my strides, but also my mistakes.
People must understand that a police office is just a man and capable of making mistakes. A police officer must place his life on the line in order to protect others. We all must give them the respect that person who is willing to defend others.
