Police Radar Guns and Jammers
Since Radar’s first use in 1937 by Watson-Watt, where they detected the motion of flying objects by calculating the difference in the signals emitted and received, Radars have been used in various occasion (Crochi). After laser was invented, the modern LIDAR system was used in such missions as the Apollo 15 to help draw moon’s map. Apart from its pervasive use in naval and aerial object detection, the modern technologies, based on the principle of Radar’s working mechanism, are used in smaller handy devices like radar guns to measure the speed of the object. Usually handguns used by police officers, or even an athlete’s coach, use the Radar or the modern LIDAR technologies to measure the speed of the targeted source. Despite their sophisticated mechanism, these surveillance equipments are prone to various deceptive strategies like jamming.
Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) “is a method of using radio waves to detect the existence of an object and then to find its position in relation to a known point, usually the site of the radar installation.” Radar technology can be used to detect the position, speed, and direction of the moving or stationary objects (“Pulse-modulated”). Radars, often used for “electromagnetic surveillance,” has various hardware and software parts that work together to produce an effective reading of the position and motion of the objects. The transmitter of the radar is used to initiate the process by amplifying the pulse signals. It has three parts: “a high powered amplifier (HPA) with a high-stability electron gun, waveform generator and timing, and an antenna” (Kolawole, 37). “The low energy signal, collected by the antenna, is brought through the circulator and the transmit...

Imagine being a police officer doing your daily routine job. You are in a patrol car on the highway, watching the cars and trucks drive by. You are also looking for speeders to warn them to be more careful and maybe you’ll ticket them. It has been a very boring day for you, since you have only been called on your radio once, and it was for an accident (fender bender). Almost at the end of your shift, a blue car drives by going ninety miles an hour, but you know the speed limit is only fifty-five miles an hour. You pull the patrol car out of the gravel area that you had been sitting in and you start to follow the car. You put your lights on and catch up to them. After a few minutes you pull the person over. You get out of the car and start walking over towards the blue car. You are right about to talk to the driver and he drives off, leaving nothing but dust in your face. Now, the adrenaline is pumping in your body, but what should you do? You could call for backup or follow the blue car. Anything could happen. How far should you actually go? This is the question that will be answered in this paper. I will explain what police pursuit is and some different things officers do during a pursuit. I will also give some statistics about the fatalities that have happened in a police pursuit. I will also illustrate my opinion about how far police pursuits should go.

I've researched about the volunteer program in phoenix, and it is named COPS "Citizens Offering Police support" This program is running through out all Phoenix Arizona departments. The volunteer organization is dedicated to helping the Phoenix Police Department and the community. Today, they have almost 200 volunteers working in a variety of units within COPS department. They also have university and college students interns working on their career paths with program. The COPS Program brings the community into the police family. Volunteers working shoulder to shoulder with police officers and our support staff can see the difficulty and value of the police mission. Although it isn't easy to just become apart of the support system, it's more
