Recommended: Police officer professionalism

The three important canons in my opinion are two, four, and eight. “Number two illustrates the proper limits of how individuals, groups, or facilities supposed to maintain themselves accordingly to the laws set in place” (Bohm & Haley, 2011, p.200). This is important as a police official because these exact same laws are put in place to protect both the officer and the individual as to their civil rights. Number four displays the proper way officials supposed to respond to a crime by using the proper means to gain proper ends. Furthermore, officials should keep in mind the laws, training, and the oath that they agreed to as police officers seriously. For Example, when a police makes an arrest they should acknowledge the individual’s possession

Discretion can be classified into four different categories where administrators, the community, and the individual police officer exercise differing degrees of influence in decision-making. What is needed to help officer discretion is a central ethos that will guide discretion when all other rules fail to help.

  • Advantages And Disadvantages Of Police Discretion

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    The use of discretion in the profession of law enforcement has shown to be an inevitable practice. Police officers routinely use their own beliefs and judgments to make critical decisions that include the life and liberty of the citizens in the community they serve in. Although discretion has both negative and positive sides to it, discretion is impossible to be eliminated from law enforcement. The best way to use discretion in a safe manner is to practice using discretion while on and off duty as well. While practicing discretion, officers should keep their own beliefs and prejudice to themselves and out of line of duty. When police officers are on duty, they must have knowledge of what is going on around them and eliminate discriminatory factors and use confidence to make a lawful

  • Understanding the Importance of Policy, Procedures and Protocols

    531 Words  | 2 Pages

    In every department, in every state there is always a policy, procedure and protocol that each and every worker must abide by. You cannot be an officer, working at the highest standard without actually following and understanding the importance of policy, procedure and the protocol. Firstly policies are highly important in this line of work, many people think that being an officer gives you the power to arrest anyone, however they are completely wrong. Before an officer can merely go on duty he must understand the policies so when he does go on duty he does not break the policy and get himself/herself in a lot of trouble. Having a policy keeps order in the work place and out on the streets. An officer is a role model for everyone in the city, meaning what an officer does and how they react to a situation does affect the general mind-set and actions of that of the public. Policies are especially important for new officers, starting out. The policy is number one on the list of need to know things once you join the LSPD.

  • Chapter Five Types Of Policing Style Used By Police

    223 Words  | 1 Pages

    In chapter five, the first type of policing style is the legalistic style, which is described as the least changeable to discretionary enforcement. Officers enforce the law objectively without making exceptions. In this type of style of policing, the police officer conducts themselves in a proper manner. The second type of policing style is the watchman style, describes police who define situations as threatening or serious depending on the groups or individuals involved, and act accordingly. The third type of policing style is the caretaker style, which treats citizens differently, depending on their relative power and position in society. Meaning that some people get breaks and others do not get breaks (Pollock p.112-113).

  • Expanding the Literary Canon

    3580 Words  | 8 Pages

    While this essay can in no way claim to contain a fully representative sampling of what various scholars have contributed relative to the ongoing debate over the literary canon, I will attempt to highlight three distinct positions which are all informed by John Guillory's critical contributions to the canonical debate. First, I will discuss the concept of ideology and canon formation as Guillory first articulated it in his 1983 essay, "The Ideology of Canon Formation: T. S. Eliot and Cleanth Brooks," and which he subsequently thoroughly revised and included in his 1993 book on canon formation, Cultural Capital: The Problem of literary Canon Formation This essay on the ways ideology and cultural politics complicates and informs canon formation, also discusses Guillory's theory concerning the death Joe Weixlmann who offers his own commentary concerning how ideology and politics of literary orthodoxy in favor of a more democratically situated heterodoxy, and how this concept of a heterodoxy might inform the university's literary curriculum. Next, Christopher Ricks' essay, 'What is at stake in the "battle of the books"?" will be analyzed to determine if his attack on Guillory's assertions relative to his critique of the current status of the canonical debate contributes in any meaningful way to opinions about whether or not the literary canon should be revised. Finally, the several critics who have now offered commentary on Guillory's latest theories on canon formation as articulated in Cultural Capital will be discussed relative to how influential they perceive Guillory's latest work to be as it pertains to the ongoing debate over the nature of the extant literary canon.
