This is with concrete, conceivable, or even suspected acts of terrorism, sabotage, or assassination of people in the Navy. Sometimes the agencies jurisdiction overlaps with another federal law enforcement agency especially with deal with personal or ex personal everywhere even overseas. There are times where “the agency has to communicate with foreign law enforcement agencies and security services on a daily basis” (“NCIS FAQs” 2016). Also, some offenses that involve people of the navy are in areas where state or even local authorities have the lead on the investigation jurisdiction so the NCIS engages with their partner agencies. This is only when it involves their navy personal. When you look at all the work and investigations there is a head of the agency named Andrew L. Traver. He is also known as NCIS Director, Mr. Traver. The NCIS is not a small agency, in fact, there are composed of “almost 2,000 professionals on staff in more than 40 countries” (LEO Pulse 2013-2016).

The US Justice Department statistics 2003 and onwards demonstrates significant disproportion in the incarceration rate of minority African American and Hispanic men between the ages of 25 and 29 years as compared to the rate associated with White men of the same age. Bell (2007), proposes that as minority groups grow in numbers within the dominant group they will experience greater equality. However, rate of incarceration among minority males remains alarmingly high and as compared to their White counterparts. As with health care there are racial disparities that will influence outcomes when an individual is brought before the criminal courts. Additionally, there is significant correlation between a person’s level of education and the likelihood of his involvement in criminal activities. Studies and statistics have shown that among male high school dropouts there is high incidence of unemployment, low income and rate of illicit drug use as compared to men with degrees from four year colleges. Further to this, although the rate of school dropout and even arrest is not significantly different across the race lines, literature alludes that African American men have a higher rate of conviction for the same crime committed.
Most Seal missions are unreported and unknown to the general public. The Seals are trained to operate in small units, one or two men, or a platoon consisting of sixteen or more men.

short or detailed in words, police investigators will need some type of record to thoroughly follow up and investigate the crime. Having more Asian-American presence on the police force will not only help solve the aforementioned violent crimes, but it could also break down a preexisting mentality that American police officers are corrupt, unhelpful, and untrustworthy (Hanser & Gomila, 2015).

United States Border Patrol has been around since 1904 enforcing and regulating laws under the immigration and Nationality Act. U.S. border patrol is now under the Department of Homeland Security, which was created as a response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Over the years, their jurisdiction and missions have changed to better protect the safety of nation. Although border patrol is a need for any nation, their extensive acceptations to constitutional laws can often be taken advantage of. The mission of the U.S. border patrol should be to prevent illegal aliens, which are a threat to American society, from reaching their purpose. Frequently, their purpose can be confused or executed in a bias manner.

Border Patrol The U.S. Border Patrol to me is very important to the United States of America and to me as well. Without the Border Patrol, America would be a goat standing in the middle of a wolf cage. The Border Patrol and their agents border the boundaries of America so we can be safe in our homes. People don’t realize how important any kind of law enforcement is, until the day that they need assistance comes. I don’t take our men and women who protect us Americans.

Over the years the men and women that risk their lives by boarding planes under a false identity to protect us have been called many things. The names range from simple, “Sky Marshal” to more complicated “Civil Aviation Security Liaison Officers.” No matter what they have been called through the years one thing has always stayed the same. The United States Federal Air Marshals have always been a group of our finest law enforcement officers that give up the luxury traditional police work to sit next to crying babies and old talkative ladies all day. They do this with one goal in mind, to keep the airways safe for private citizens to enjoy the luxury of travel. “The history of the air marshals is closely rooted with the history of hijackings and bombings targeting commercial aircraft. Some of the bombings and hijackings throughout history had more of an impact than others on Federal Air Marshal tactics, manpower and security procedures. These events and the responses of those in civil aviation and the US government are essential to understand the need for air marshals as a last line of defense.” (Biles, 2013) With the rise of crime in the aviation sector the US government has gone to the Federal Air Marshals more times than not for protection of its citizens. It has not always been easy for them and they have not had the best funding around but as you will see throughout this paper, The US Federal Air Marshals have always answered when called upon.

For example the working hours of a CIA agent are very long. This would mean I would not have much time for my family or for relaxation. Another reason Is that it has a possible death risk. By this I mean is that as a CIA agent I will be dealing with a lot of dangerous people and this could end up in injury or even death. And my final reason is that JJCJ is somewhat far away. It is in Manhattan New York, Now this might not sound so far but I would have to leave my home and state to attend that college. These are some reasons why it would be difficult to be a CIA agent.
