722 Words2 Pages

While on patrol I responded to the Citgo Gas Station on North Three Notch Street in reference to a panic alarm. Upon arrival I made contact with an employee in the parking lot who advised me that he did not know why the alarm was going off. He then advised someone inside may have accidently set it off. As I started to walk to the entrance of the store, I observed a black male leaving the business holding a bag of chips. As he was walking out a female employee walked out and started frantically pointing at him. She then stated, "Him, him, him." The employee did not give any further details.

I made contact with the male subject on the side of the store, who was later identified as Calvin Lee Salter. While in contact with him, the manger of the business, Patel, came outside to where we were standing. Patel and Salter both tried explaining to me what was going on. Both subjects started talking over one another so I asked them to calm down. Officer Barron arrived on scene and was able to ask Patel to step away from myself and Salter and explain what was going on.

Salter advised me he went to purchase a bag of potato chips but did not …show more content…

I asked Salter to get into the car but he verbally and physically refused. I continued to ask him 3 to 4 more times, but Salter continued to refuse to obey my commands. I was eventually able to assist Salter into the back seat of my patrol unit utilizing soft empty hand control techniques. Once placed in the back seat of my patrol car, Salter continued being disorderly and screaming profanity at officers on scene. I then reached back into the car to buckle Salter's seat belt for his safety before transport to the jail. As I reached into to buckle the seat belt, Salter spit on the left side of my face. After which I trnapsorted Salter to Troy City Jail and notfied Sgt. Rodgers of the

  • The Justification of Andy Lopez's Death

    1242 Words  | 3 Pages

    At around 3:14 pm. Santa Rosa Police officer Erick Gelhaus and his partner, a trainee, were patrolling Moorland Avenue located just before the outskirts of Santa Rosa. Gelhaus who was sitting in the passenger side of the police vehicle, then spotted an individual (now known to be Andy Lopez) with his back facing towards them walking down the street holding what appeared to be an AK-47 assault rifle (Johnson). The trainee officer then stopped the vehicle just a mere 20 to 30 feet away, allowing for Gelhaus to quickly step out and order Lopez to drop the weapon (Chea). Many community members argue that the trainee officer should have gone out of the police vehicle with Gelhaus if Lopez was indeed a threat to the community. The trainee officer however did not exit the vehicle since “at that point Deputy Gelhaus had already engaged the subject, with the commands and with the weapon. The threat was essentially over” (Johnson). This explains why the trainee officer remained in the police vehicle during the confrontation.

  • Police and Racial Profiling

    1985 Words  | 4 Pages

    The term “racial profiling” is used by agencies of law enforcement to describe an individual’s race or ethnicity as a factor in articulating reasonable suspicion to stop, question, or arrest an individual (Racial Profiling 2001: 1). Police officers have the discretion to make decisions regarding whom they stop. However, if any law enforcement employee profiles potential suspects based on their race or ethnicity they violate the civil rights of the individual. If you suspect someone of a crime based on their race and ethnicity you are violating the civil rights of these minority groups. If any officer suspects another officer of racial profiling they must notify their supervisor. When a situation like this comes up an officer who informs on one of his own could result in negative consequences for the whistleblower. He could be labeled by the other officers as a ’rat’ and could lead him to be singled out. There are a lot of gray areas within the issue of racial profiling. The State of Arizona and its political subdivisions cannot tolerate racial profiling if Arizona is to remain consistent and fair in its application of justice (AZ Attorney General, 2001:2). In this article I will discuss law enforcement concerns, private resident concerns, current policies and procedures, and training. I believe that police officers need to stop people they suspect of an offence [it is not the role of the police officer to decide guilt –that is a matter for the courts] to reduce the amount of crime offenders, but they need to be careful that they do not cross the fine line between racial profiling and suspicion. The purpose of this article is to inform readers that police discretion not only encompasses use of force, gratuiti...

    I didn't pay much attention to the employee who looked down the aisle as I decided on a small silver headset. But in the midst of grabbing my chosen prize, I noticed the same employee look down the aisle again. I froze, and thought, No way, you're overreacting. It can't be. So, headset in hand, I walked to the end of the aisle and looked over. The employee was nowhere to be seen. I shrugged and looked back down my aisle only to see her at the other end, looking at me! I was startled and quite upset, so I gave her an odd look and started walking to the other side of the section. I wanted to see what would happen, and hoped I was imagining things. There I pretended to browse, then turned around. The employee was right there! She turned quickly to fix something that wasn't out of place. I was infuriated and humiliated at how I was being treated. Not once was I asked if I needed help, but the whole time, I was spied on.
