During the course of this investigation and with the source’s assistance, I infiltrated not only the Bloods street gang, but the Latin Kings, 5 Percenters and Netas and made several purchases of CDS and firearms. In the middle of the investigation, unbeknownst to me, the Perth Amboy Police Department arrested one of the targets I had made purchases from and had made him aware of pending criminal charges related to my investigation. Shortly thereafter, I had arranged to meet with members of the same bloods set the target was a member of. With no knowledge of the events which had occured, I was days away from meetiing to purchase additional assault weapons. My effforts to build a solid and trusting relationship with the source paid off when the source contacted me, less than 48 hours prior to the undercover buy and told me the target that had been arrested knew I was a cop and my life was in grave danger. …show more content…

The police responded to a tip that a home was being used to sell drugs. When they arrived at the home, Gant answered the door and stated that he expected the owner to return home later. The officers left and did a record check of Gant and found that his driver’s license had been suspended and there was a warrant for his arrest. The officers returned to the house later that evening and Gant wasn’t there. Gant returned shortly and was recognized by officers. He parked at the end of the driveway and exited his vehicle and was placed under arrest 10 feet from his car and was placed in the back of the squad car immediately. After Gant was secured, two officers searched his car and found a gun and a bag of cocaine.

Organization is the most important part of any business. In the business of criminal justice, organization is of the highest importance. Every day, hour, and minute must be accounted for, and at the same time all bases must be covered. This brings up a problem when trying to run a precinct that employs a lot of police officers. The Chicago Police Department is the principal law enforcement agency of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, under the jurisdiction of the Mayor of Chicago. It is the second largest local law enforcement agency in the United States after the New York City Police Department.

The following investigation is occurring for a fact-finding mission to see if Officer Jones has a sufficient amount of information to qualify for a search warrant, and to proceed with the proper court protocol. As the courts reviewed reports supplied, we feel, as the proper requirements for a search warrant were not met. Even though Mr. Jones has spent over ten years in the drug enforcement sector of law enforcement, it does not qualify him as an expert drug enforcement agent.

In July 2003, Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Shanks of Multnomah County Oregon was performing a routine traffic stop on a vehicle driven by William Barrett. During this stop, Shanks arrested Barrett because of an outstanding warrant and then searched the car. A pressure-cooker found in the trunk was believed to be used in the making of methamphetamine. Barrett informed Shanks that the owner of the pressure-cooker was “Gunner Crapser,” and that he could be found at the Econolodge Motel in a room registered to a woman named Summer Twilligear (FindLaw, 2007, Factual and Procedural Background section, para. 2). Deputy Shanks quickly learned that there was an outstanding warrant for a “Gunner Crapser” but to not confuse the wanted man, whose name was not actually “Gunner Crapser,” with someone else using this name.

For years police corruption has been a major problem in American society but where is the line between moral and unethical police corruption, many modern movies address this vary issue.

During my summer internship at the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Police Department, I was assigned to the Crime Analysis Division. As an intern in this division I was assigned a multitude of tasks that varied from day to day and I was responsible for completing them in a timely and accurate manner. Upon first arriving I was giving a long term project where I periodically updated and improved upon a PowerPoint slide show that contained all of the pictures of suspects in numerous fraud cases. This PowerPoint was sent out bi-weekly to the fraud detectives to assist them in connecting cases and identifying subjects. In addition to this project I was trained and educated in various programs that the CMPD utilizes. I spent a large amount of time on the department’s incident report database, KBCOPS where I read through cases and determined if they should be reexamined for UCR reclassification. This database was also useful for looking up incident reports in connection with other tasks I was assigned.
