PTL CARLISLE AND MYSELF SPEAK ABOUT HOW THE OPERATIONS AT TARBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE HANDLED AND HOW DIFFERENTLY THEY MAY BE FROM WHAT HE IS USE TO. OVER THE PAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH PTL CARLISLE HELPING HIM UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOING WRONG AND WHAT HE COULD DO TO IMPROVE ON THE TASK LISTED ABOVE THAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS OF PATROL THAT PTL CARLISLE NEEDS TO WORK ON. PTL CARLISLE NEEDS TO WORK ON SELF INITIATED ACTIVITY AND VEHICLE STOPS.

LOOKING FOR VIOLATIONS. I BELIEVE ONCE PTL CARLISLE BECOMES MORE COMFORTABLE IN HIS JOB, HE WILL EXCEED IN THIS AREA OF PATROL.
AS FOR OFFICER SAFETY, THIS CONCERNS ME WITH PTL CARLISLE. ON JAN. 1, 2017, WHILE CONDUCTING A CHAPTER 20 CHECKPOINT I NOTICED SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE WAY PTL CARLISLE WAS APPROACHING VEHICLES AND HOW HE WAS INTERACTING WITH THE DRIVERS. PTL SMITH, ALONG WITH MYSELF, SPOKE WITH PTL CARLISLE ABOUT WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO APPROACH THE CAR IN A SAFER MANNER. SHORTLY THERE AFTER (ON JAN. 9 2017, NIGHT SHIFT) I WATCHED AS PTL. CARLISLE APPROACHED A CAR DURING A VEHICLE STOP TO WHICH HE DID NOT HAVE HIS FLASHLIGHT AVAILABLE AS WELL AS PUTTING HIMSELF IN HARMS WAY BY STANDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER’S SIDE WINDOW WITH NO FLASHLIGHT AND HIS GUN HAND ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. AFTER THIS TRAFFIC STOP WAS CLEARED, I AGAIN SPOKE WITH PTL CARLISLE ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND ADVISED HIM LATER IN THE NIGHT I WOULD BE DOING MOCK TRAFFIC STOPS WITH HIM TO POINT OUT WHAT HE NEEDED TO CHANGE. LATER THAT EVENING PTL SMITH ALONG WITH MYSELF RAN PTL CARLISLE THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT SCENERIO BASED TRAFFIC STOPS. PTL CARLISLE SEEMED TO PICK UP QUICKLY ON WHAT WE WERE SHOWING HIM AND WAS VERY ACCEPTABLE TO ANY INFORMATION WE HAD TO OFFER. ANOTHER AREA THAT PTL CARLISLE NEEDS TO
WORK ON WOULD BE HIS VOICE COMMANDS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT CALLS WHERE I HAVE HAD TO TELL PTL CARLISLE TO TAKE CONTROL OF A SITUATION. PTL CARLISLE SEEMS TO BE RELUCTANT ON USING HIS VOICE. PTL CARLISLE STARTED HIS TRAINING STRUGGLING WITH HIS REPORTS HOWEVER PTL CARLISLE HAS CAME ALONG WAY SINCE HIS FIRST REPORT BUT HE STILL NEEDS TO CONCENTRATE AND DISTINGUISH WHAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE ADDED. THE FINAL AREA PTL CARLISLE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON IS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND TRAFFIC STATUTES. I BELIEVE THIS WILL COME AFTER HE HAS HAD MORE TIME ON THE ROAD DEALING WITH THESE CALLS. OVER THE PAST THREE WEEKS WORKING WITH PTL CARLISLE HE HAS MEET OR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TASK. ON THIS EVALUATION PERIOD I RATED PTL CARLISLE AT A 5 FOR HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE JOB AND HIS ACCEPTANCE OF FEEDBACK. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I HAD TO CORRECT PTL. CARLISLE EACH TIME HE LISTENED TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY ASKED ANY QUESTIONS THAT HE MIGHT HAVE AND THEN GAVE 100% TO DO WHAT I ASKED. PTL CARLISLE HAS ONE OF THE BETTER ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE JOB THAT I HAVE SEEN IN AWHILE. IT IS REFRESHING TO HAVE AN OFFICER READY A WILLING TO LEARN AND WORK. ONE THING THAT HAS SURPRISED ME WITH PTL CARLISLE IS HIS INTERACTIONS WITH THE PUBLIC. ON HIS DAILEY INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC PTL CARLISLE MORE THAN EXCEEDS DEPARTMENT STANDARDS NO MATTER WHO HE IS TALKING TO PTL CARLISLE IS POLITE,COURTEOUS, AND LISTENS ATTENTIVELY. PTL CARLISLE HAS GONE OUT OF HIS WAY SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP AND TALK TO THE PUBLIC TAKING HIS TIME AND NEVER RUSHING THE CONVERSATION. IF PTL CARLISLE CONTINUES TO LEARN AT THE PACE HE CURRENTLY IS AND CONTINUES TO SHOW THE ENTHUSIASM TOWARDS HIS JOB HE WILL ACCEL AT TARBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND BE A GREAT ASSET TO THE TOWN
All agencies that equip their officers with Tasers properly train their personnel as well as have it in their use of force continuum. Mr. Bryan was stopped for a seatbelt violation and although he was being vulgar and acting irate, he was not directing it towards Officer McPherson. Even though Bryan exited his vehicle, Officer McPherson could have gave him commands to just stay at the vehicle and do not approach him unless directed to. I have been on traffic stops when the driver abruptly exited the vehicle without being directed to do so. My thought on this is even though they exited their vehicle, I do not want them to get back into their vehicle because they may have a weapon in the vehicle that they cannot now reach or drive off, and I can keep a better eye on their actions out of the vehicle. I believe that Officer McPherson could have handled this situation a lot better with more verbal judo and professionalism. Even though it is taught that a reactionary gap of 21 feet is recommended when dealing with an unknown suspect, Officer McPherson could tell that Bryan had nothing in his hands and did not pose a threat. I am not a fan of Taser guns for the simple fact that there have been too many lawsuits and injuries that stem from the usage of them. My department’s view on them is that they are not necessary and as long as the trooper is properly trained in

When asked, Sgt Garber explained that he feels that one of the most effective aspects of the system was the fact that the decisions made in the heat of the moment out in the field were defended by all levels of the police department as well as the by the mayor himself. This practice allows police officers to make split second decisions without fearing every decision they make will be second guessed. In addition, it helps prevent officers from not taking action due to this same fear. This does not however protect officers that are clearly in the wrong and should have known
Although that gives the report a sometimes odd tone, defending a system that it admits failed badly, it also provides for some of the document's most evident soul-searching. One passage in particular warns of the consequences when police let down their guard. "Essentially, many of the problems found by this [Board of Inquiry] boil down to people failing to do their jobs with a high level of consistency and integrity," the report states. "Unfortunately, we found this to be true at all levels of the organization, including top managers, first-line supervisors and line personnel. Clearly, pride in one's work and a commitment to do things correctly the first time seems to have
All diseases and disorders are categorized by a set of symptoms, or signs that are indicative of certain diseases or disorders. Thus, symptoms are important when diagnosing a person. They serve as a communication tool between the clinical psychologist and the client. When detecting symptoms of a person, it allows the clinician to understand the client’s physical, emotional, and mental discomforts. Using the symptoms reported by the client, the clinician can then determine what the client’s clinical diagnosis is.
Everyday law enforcement personal have the possibility to face dangerous events in their daily duties. In performing such duties a police officer could come by a seemingly ordinary task, and in a blink of an eye the event can turn threatening and possible deadly. When or if this happens to an officer they won’t have
Visualize a mother of two kids and a wife of a police officer waking up everyday thinking that her husband has a possibility of being killed. With that being said, I firmly believe that police officers should protect themselves with any means necessary. Recently there have been many scenarios of people claiming police brutality and also shootings taking place in regards to police officers and members of the community. Aside from the great pride that comes along with being an officer, I believe that it is the duty of an officer to protect the community around him, but that can only be done if the police officer has the full support of the community around him. The shootings and assaults that have been taking place are all in all the result of the police trying to defend themselves by making quick, rational decisions to be vigilant and better protect the community, as well as taming the increasingly
Police officers are judged excessively over their use of discretion. Depending on the situation it can be difficult to identify whether and officer is abusing their power of discretion without being detected. This is a concern
Officer Derek Rolland is a member of the Hope Mills Police Department and has been a police officer since he graduated the Basic Law Enforcement course in 2003. He was born and raised in the Hope Mills community where he was a part of a family comprised of military personnel. He became interested in the career field of law enforcement whereas as a kid growing up he would see police officers in his community all the time, interacting with everyone and would waive at them. He attended the basic law enforcement training at Fayetteville Technical Community College and upon successful completion of the
As stated earlier, many officers continue to abuse their authority by showing a behavior that is
In class we have discussed use of officer discretion which is widely used in Armed & Dangerous. The officer using their judgement to handle certain situations. Gallo mentions “The job teaches us early on that, for any cop, your brain is your most powerful weapon.” (pg. 79). In some neighborhoods involving gangs, Gallo has to keep a low profile and not draw attention to herself otherwise she might be shot at by gang members. She also learns that people are more comfortable talking to female cops than male cops because they are more understanding. Officer discretion is very important for the protection of an
What happens when officers forget their role and responsibilities? They abuse their power and go beyond their duties crossing lines that should not be crossed for instance in Saratoga New York a police officer tries to conduct and illegal vehicle search, when the civilian refuses, the officer slaps him and takes the keys. This type of conduct should not be tolerated and officers should constantly be reminded of the consequences of such actions. One thing in particular that can be observed is that in most videos the officers are not alone yet the other officers knowing their partner are wrong do not intervene, this pattern shows that the officers are not being trained properly. Proper training can easily avoid such conflicts for example in the case of Saratoga New York another officer could have deescalated the situation by letting his partner know that what he is doing is illegal, this simple action could had avoided a lot of problems. The majority of police officers do an excellent job but is the few that do not do a good job the ones ruining the image and reputation of the force, reminding officers of their duties and paying attention to their actions can make a difference in job performance while helping keep good community
Today 's police officer in the United States has evolved in many ways from when the first police department, the Philadelphia Police Department, formed in 1751. Police officers now go through extensive training, are better educated, physically fit, and have access to vast technologies in the fight against crime. Yet even with these additional attributes, the primary role of the police officer has remained the same, to serve and protect. The people who take up this profession do it knowing that it will involve working in high stress environments, rotating work shifts, long periods way from family and friends, and instances of life and death. These officers dedicate themselves to helping others and work to make their community a safer place. It 's a profession that requires ethics, honor, integrity, and professionalism if you wish to succeed as a police officer.
He told me that Takoma Park was a very a quiet neighborhood and does not have too many crimes occurring. He expressed his love for his co-workers and how they have been working in a team to achieve many difficulties that may arise in the community. For instance, during our patrol we had a call concerning a man who was very violent and was causing a lot of trouble in his home. Just a few minutes after the call it was amazing that all the officers were at the scene and trying to preserve peace. Furthermore, Officer Carl works around only the jurisdictional boundaries which he was sworn to serve and maintain peace. These areas include Langley Park, New Hampshire Ave and other areas within the same boundaries. Officer Carl also explained the importance of community relation programs held in the community and how positively it affects the community and them themselves. He emphasized that community relation programs were very effective and each police officer was happy to a part of it. In addition, this program is often in a form of reunions where the community members and the police come together and celebrate and discusses how to make the community great. The purpose of this program was for the police force to have a good and close relationship with the community so that
In any given setting, police officers are responsible for maintaining order within a, sometimes overly chaotic, society. They are given the responsibility of acting as protectors of the defenseless and upholding justice, at the risk of injury to themselves or even the loss of their own life. In addition, it is inevitable that an officer will eventually come into physical contact with an individual, who may be volatile or avoiding arrest, which nonetheless increases the odds of a physical confrontation. The distressing truth is that, although being assaulted is not a requirement of their profession, it is essentially unavoidable. With that said, police officers realize this fact and readily accept the reality that at any given moment, be
