Officer Class in Journey’s End
During the World War many people found themselves in mid filled
trenches eating rations and living with a host of creatures including
rats, mice and many insects. There was however a group of people who
did not sleep so rough, the officers, no matter what rank of officer
you were you would sleep in a quarters with other officers and not
with the men and you would have your own personal cook. Although the
living conditions were not up to standards with even a one star hotel,
they were easier to bear than what the soldiers had to. In this essay
I will be talking about what you learn about the officers in the book
“Journey’s End”. I will be discussing their hobbies and values.
The officers shared the same kind of upbringing; all came from private
schools and were highly educated. Raleigh and Stanhope both came from
the same school and were friends outside school, often visiting one
and others homes. Osborne and Trotter have been working in different
jobs for a while before being drafted whereas Stanhope and Raleigh
came straight from school into the officer’s life. Not much is known
about trotter as he is not talked about much in the story but it is my
assumption that he was also from a private school.
Osborne and Trotter were both drafted as officers because of their
professions; they are both regarded highly in society. Stanhope and
Raleigh however were drafted as officers because of the professions of
family members, Stanhope’s father is a vicar and Raleigh’s uncle is a
senior officer, meaning he is most likely from a military background.
In terms of age of the officers, Osborne is by far the most aged of
the officers being called uncle says this quite clearly that they are
mocking his age in a friendly manner. Though Osborne is older Stanhope
is senior to him, many comments are made that Osborne should run the
company but Osborne sticks up for the young commander. Although
Stanhope is superior he values the opinion of his lower officers.
It is clear from the conversations that they all enjoy sport,
especially “Ruggers” or rugby as more commonly known. It shows that
they are all abundant in physical strength and it shows that Stanhope
has good leadership skills as he captained the cricket team in school.
Osborne however trumps him by telling Raleigh how he capped for the
England rugby team, but he swore Raleigh to secrecy so he may be lying
about that.
The officers are all fighting so that they can get back to their
End of Watch (Ayer, 2012) is a film which follows the lives of two police officers, partners Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, in the Los Angeles Police Department. The movie is shot in the style of a documentary and because of this the film centralized on these two officers and their patrols. When the film began Taylor and Zavala had just successfully apprehended two suspects in a high speed car chase which they were praised for by other officers and members of the department. From then on out the officers made a number of impressive arrests, rescues, and discoveries the two partners made throughout the film. Unfortunately for the Taylor and Zavala, their successfulness in investigating and apprehending locations and suspects of a drug ring caught the attention of the leaders of a Mexican drug cartel.

The article “The Professor, the Cop, and the President” by Jamelle Bouie is mainly about the effect of the arrest of Henry Louis Gates had on Obama’s actions toward racial issues in his term. Gates was arrested because it was believed that he was breaking into a home which turned out to be his own residence. This wasn't a major story until Obama gave a comment. Obama never took a valid side, he stated the obvious which was that he was not there at the time of the arrest so he doesn't know the story. He also spoke on the fact that police were arresting many African Americans and Latinos. This made whites feel as though Obama took sides against an office and they began to vote against Obama. The percentage of whites supporting him kept going
I think the police had the probable cause to arrest Richie - he fit the description that they were given, and he was in possession of cocaine.
My interest in law enforcement grew in me at a young age probably around the age of 8. I would always watch the show Cops and that got me really interested. It was not until the age of 10 that I said to myself that I wanted to be a police officer or something in that field. During my years in junior high one of the officers who worked there told me about a program called police explorers, once he explained the program to me I knew that that was what I wanted to do: police work. A week after I turned fourteen I decided to join the Costa Mesa Police explorer program, in order to get I accepted to the program I had to attend four consecutive meetings and on my fourth meeting I was given an application the following week I was interviewed by four police officer; it was scary. This program has taught me many lessons such as responsibility, respect, integrity and many other qualities that one must have to be considered eligible for police work.
turned out to be so much more. Over the course of the story, Ponyboy, the main character, learns the true
Recently in the United States there has been in increase in deaths that have come from police officers using deadly force. The use of force is inevitable as a police officer, many times their own lives or the life’s civilians are at risk when it comes to determine what type of force a officer should use. There are many incidents where police officer have to react in a matter of seconds and has to choose between his own life or that of the individual causing the disturbance. When a Police Officer uses deadly force has caused outraged with the public, stirring up protests and creating a scandal for the police officer and the Police Department. Many do not know when it is right for an officer to use deadly force and what constitutes it, or what happens when the officer does not use the appropriate amount of force that is required to control the situation. There has been many changes in Police Departments around the country to try to reduce the use of deadly force in response to the issues that have occurred because of it.
Over the past few weeks or so I’ve been looking more and more into what it actually means to be a cadet. If you’re accepted to be a cadet you get put through both physical and mental training programs which introduce you to the fundamentals of the law enforcement. After those training sessions are completed most of the cadets are sent out to voluntarily patrol at events and/or become support services to the law enforcement.
Balko’s main arguments on this book consist on the militarization of policing and SWAT teams. His main concern is that these policing techniques are making law enforcement lose focus from what they were originally built for. He also talks about how the war on drugs has had to do with the issues we’re facing today with our police techniques. He suggests that they should do more “community policing” so that people don’t look at them in a negative way. It makes sense that if we only see police or SWAT or any kind of law enforcement agency, when something bad happens, it’s obvious that we’re going to associate them with
Correctional Officer’s have been around for a very long time and were designed to keep major offenders off the street after they have been arrested by the Police. The offenders are put in a holding cell at a Pre Trial Centre awaiting their court date.
In reaching a goal, it is not so much the goal that is important as it is the compilation of planned, concise, and well thought-out steps used in fortifying the achievement. In section II-a I stated my personal and professional goals. My plan was to attain the rank of Petty Officer First Class, get selected as Sailor of the Year, and complete my Bachelors in Information Technology. By implementing DAPPS and its Sub-Goals in I will be able to narrow my focus and more specifically the steps needed to reach my goal.
Growing militarization of police, I feel is not a problem (however it may become one). The fact is police are allowed to you a step above, whatever they are going against. SWAT team are used for 80% of the drug busts, but also drug dealers tend to have more weapons or protection which SWAT more adept at handling. My uncle had a run-in with a drug dealer, where he end up being held for a few days. Long story short, he owed money, so he gave over keys to his truck (which must have not been enough) so then he was not allowed to leave.
No societal foundation links citizens so in depth to the government such as police. This limb of government defends against total chaos and maintains something such as the order of laws and due process in the democracy that is the United States is.
Is there anything that could justify Deputy Sheriff Fields, the SRO at Spring Valley High School, treating this teenage girl like this?
When you think of police what does it mean to you? The responsibility of a police officer is to protect the public and to serve the community. Also, they detect and to prevent crime, police officers strive to maintain the law.
