respectable officer who does his best to ensure the safety of the public. Sergeant Tony has worked in the jails in two different cities. He first started his duty in law enforcement in San Mateo where he worked in the jail and then went to patrol. He was with San Mateo for three years and at twenty years in the Sacramento sheriff’s department. When he was working in the jail at San Mateo, he had various roles such as, booking and floor officer. He also had various roles at Sacramento where he worked at the main jail. He was in booking, a floor officer and a jail training officer. He was also a part of CERT which stands for custody emergency response team. CERT is basically the SWAT team for jails. They handle riots in jail. Sergeant Tony has worked in jails, on patrol and at the child abuse bureau. He was in patrol for eight years. He was a field training officer in patrol where he trained new officers on Kaur 2 how to be a beat cop. He practiced problem oriented policing (POP), which is basically community policing. He dealt with neighborhood problems such as homelessness and nuisances such as graffiti and drug dealing. As a sergeant, Tony has a number of duties. He supervises seven detectives, one CPS liaison, a secretary, and ten interns. He evaluates every child abuse report to determine if it needs to be investigated and then assigns it to a detective. Sergeant Tony sits on several committees such as the CPS oversite committee, subcommittee which evaluates cases and makes recommendations to improve CPS. He also sits on the SCAN which is a child abuse neglect team and it evaluates child neglect local hospitals and is also on the child death review board where his job is to determine the cause of death and recommend prevention if possible. The CDRT examines every single child death in the Sacramento county and determines if investigation is necessary. There have been several incidents that sergeant Tony remembers but the one that sticks out the most is when he was involved in a case of a twelve-year-old girl. The guardian of the girl was her stepmom. Her father was in prison at the time. One day, the stepmom took her kids and the girl to the DMV. While the stepmom took her three kids to the bathroom who were aged from toddler to teenager, the girl said to the lady next to her that she was being tortured. The woman took the girl to one of the employees and they called CHP who then later called the Sheriff’s department. The girl told them that her stepmom was burning her with an iron, spatula and physically throwing her down stairs and stomping on her chest and abdomen. The stepmom would not feed her and would make her stand on one leg with her hands in the air in the corner for hours. During the investigation, the stepmom denied the allegations and told her kids to do Kaur 3 the same despite them witnessing what their mother had done to that girl. There were severe burn marks on the girls back and butt. The stepmom was sentenced to twelve years to life. Sergeant Tony considers this case to be one of his biggest accomplishments. He put that woman in prison knowing she won’t be let out for at least twelve years. For an aspiring criminal justice student who wants to go into law enforcement, he emphasized three things; higher education, physical fitness and having hobbies that one can enjoy outside the job.
He highly recommended getting a masters degree. The competition is tougher now because there are more people who are educated than ever. Law enforcement wants the best. Almost everyone has a high school degree and more and more people are getting their bachelor’s degree. He said that with a masters degree, one has an advantage and officers with masters degrees get paid more too. The second thing was to be physically fit. The physical test involves dragging a 165-pound dummy so one must have a strong core and legs. He said to go to the gym often and that running is a very important part of the workout. Having hobbies is extremely important because there are some officers who become workaholics and live at their job. The job can be too much at times and it is important to have healthy hobbies outside of law enforcement. Sergeant Tony works out and loves to attend his kids sports and activities. He really enjoys taking his kids to the park and movies. He loves to watch funny TV shows because he loves happy things, especially since his job can get depressing at
times. There are difficult parts of the job and there are best parts of the job. The most difficult part of sergeant Tony’s job learning to manage and cope with the horrific things that happen to a child and still be able to do the job on a daily basis. Child abuse is an extremely stressful unit. Children are murdered, tortured and sexually assaulted, so it can be hard sometimes. The best Kaur 4 part of the job is knowing that he is making a difference. He loves that his job involves challenges and that every case is different. He described his job as a rollercoaster ride that he enjoys being on. Sergeant Tony has a positive spirit despite the horrors that he has seen. Sergeant Tony has never killed anyone but has come close to during an officer shooting. Another time that he said that he would have killed someone if they had the information that the suspect had stole someone’s car at gunpoint but the since the system was down, they did not shoot him. An officer had called in on a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot at around 1am. The person inside the car hit the officers squad car and sped off. This then led to a car chase where sergeant Tony, his supervisor and two other squad cars joined in. The car goes in a residential area going at 65 to 70 miles an hour. There were a lot of twists and turns but the officers kept up with him. The man then gets to a dead end and rams the squad cars and gets out. He then jumps out of the car while it was still moving which is called “ghostriding”. He runs through a park to a river bay and hides in the bushes. The officers then detain and arrest him. The man said that he was high on meth for the past two to three days. The officers search the vehicle and find a pellet gun but it looked like a real gun. If the officers were given information that the man who was high on meth had stolen the vehicle with a gun, sergeant Tony said that they would have shot him because it was a crazy car chase and he had a gun so they would be in fear of their lives. Sergeant Tony is a terrific sergeant at the child abuse bureau. He has done different jobs in law enforcement and has always enjoyed doing his job. He said that he was interested in child abuse because he liked a challenge. Not many people apply to child abuse because not everyone can handle it. He applied for the job and got it. He saw that he was truly helping innocent victims. He has put away perpetrators for hundreds of years. He saves children from horrifying Kaur 5 households and gets justice for the victims. He still talks to the families of kids that he has saved to this day. He keeps in contact and likes to know how the kids are doing. Being the sergeant of a child abuse bureau is not easy, but sergeant Tony was more than up for the challenge. Sergeant Tony has seen and heard horrible things happen to children and still loves to come to work every day because he knows that he is making a difference in those kids lives.

Gilmartin begins by describing the typical rookie officer. Most are energetic, idealistic, enthusiastic and very driven. Quickly this enthusiasm can change from one of positivity to one that is very cynical and emotionally charged. These behaviors and thoughts over time if not corrected become exacerbated leading to noticeable mental and physical changes. The author, Gilmartin, uses personal experiences and other real life stories effectively so that many officers can relate and identify with the topic of the book.

In discussions of law enforcement one controversial issue has been whether liberal arts courses are necessary or should be required. In “The New Liberal Arts” Sanford J. Ungar believes that liberal arts are crucial to any professional career. Mike Rose however disagrees, and suggests that a college education in general is not necessarily a must. Although both articles make a good argument, I concur with Ungar. The liberal arts are the foundation in almost any professional field, and teach students how to adapt, especially in law enforcement.

Time may pass and personal morals may change, but one of the strengths of the United States of America is its unwavering dedication to justice. Throughout time, this country’s methods and laws have grown and adapted, but the basis of the law enforcement’s work has remained the same: the safety and interest of the people.
Growing up in the house of a police officer always had a stressful, yet interesting connotation. My father, who now works as a detective for the Phoenix Police Department, worked patrol for several years. I always looked forward to his return, because he told the best stories. However, my mother was often worried about his involvement on the streets. Since I was raised in a Christian home, prayer for my dad’s safety was a routine activity growing up. While my father was away at work, I remained at home hopelessly outnumbered by the girls in my family. Living with three younger sisters was always a struggle. Not only is it never quiet, but also, regardless of the situation, I managed to unfairly become the culprit. In addition to this,
