    The need for the police and the public to work together was recognized as far back as the 19th century. In 1829, the Metropolitan Police of London was established by Sir Robert Peel. Peel worked in many areas of government during his career striving to pass legislation to reform child labor laws and other statutes to help protect working Londoners. However, he is recalled by many as the “Founder of Modern Policing” (Jones, 2004). During his time as British Home Secretary, Peel took on lowering London’s rising crime rate, in addition to reforming the criminal code of the time. Peel’s police force was uniformed and its members were taken from the people it served. He believed this, along with strict discipline, was a key to keeping law and order in the streets of London (Jones, 2004).

Britain’s police history varies more than other countries and even nowadays their appearance does not look anything alike to other police forces in the world. Everything started around 2000 years ago when Saxons brought their own form of police into Britain and let’s see how it diverse over the years.

For best results, however, the morale of the department additionally should be unbroken on a high level. All personnel ought to be eager and willing to do an honest job; otherwise there's one thing wrong with the organization or its headship (Gocke, 1945).

    “...police work, there are some things that they do and is not fine at all. Some of the behaviour of the officers spoils the job they do. Like some will say, give me this; give me that, it is not good. Sometime ago, a police officer did something bad to me and I didn 't like it. He asked me for something which I give it to him, but what he should have done afterwards he did not do it well. Because of that, when you meet another police officer you will think they are all the same.” - Kofi Berima (a commercial driver, male, age:

  • The Thin Blue Line : Embedding Culture Change At New Zealand Police

    1234 Words  | 3 Pages

    The front line officers are resisting the change because they believe that the changes that are being put forward don’t relate to what needs to be changed. The officers believe that the higher management of the organisation don’t understand the problems that frontline officers are facing; therefore they can’t properly handle the situations. Frontline staff also believe that officers are only getting promoted to higher management because they know how to “Play the system” not due to their own merit within the field, this belief is causing controversy within the system when management suggests change officers at the frontline are disagreeing as they believe that management don’t understand how the change will effect people at the frontline. One of the frontline officers that answered the survey conducted in 2010 concerning the relationship between frontline staff and national headquarters said that the only people he trusted were his mates and the colleagues he worked with, this result shows the distrust that frontline staff has for the upper management of the police force. Another response from the same survey was, “the commissioner and all his inspector mates in bullshit castle at headquarters should get back on the street and get a reality check. And I’ve heard this sort off directive before a...

    William Westley’s study looked at policemen operating at the street level. Fogelson’s study focused mainly on the management level in policing, which has tended to be somewhat cut off from street level policing. Goldstein’s study examined policing at the political level where a police department encounters the currents of local government. Critically analyse all three and give your opinion as to whether you think studies of police should concentrate on the street level, managerial level or at the political level.

  • Public Safety Essay

    640 Words  | 2 Pages

    The police must be active members in their community to understand the people they are protecting and how they can be proactive in the crime prevention in that given community. For the second question in the survey I stated that it is the public’s job to obey the law and make the police’s job easier and not more difficult. Once again, I was close minded in my answer. The public is tasked with policing the police; however, it does not mean they are making the police’s job more difficult, it is just about holding them accountable for their actions. Police require a wide set of characteristics, if they want to be successful during the application process and enjoy a long career in public safety. When asked in the survey at the start of this course, I answered that an officer requires the ability to treat all people fairly in all situations. This is a phenomenal quality for a police officer to have, but it is just one of many that an officer must possess. Adaptability was the first the trait that stood out me, when reading the modules, because it is essential for a new and old officer to continue to grow and adapt.
