The Diary of a Police Officer: Boston, 1895 The recently discovered 1895 diary of Boston police officer Stillman S. Wakeman provides a revealing glimpse into actual police work 100 years ago. Officer Wakeman was “an officer of the neighborhood.” He spent most of his time on patrol responding to little problems that neighborhood residents brought to him: disputes, minor property crimes, and so on. He spent relatively little time on major offenses: murder, rape, robbery. He resolved most of the problems informally, acting as a neighborhood magistrate. Officer Wakeman’s role was remarkably similar to that of contemporary patrol officers. He was reactive and a problem solver. The major difference was the absence of modern police technology: the patrol car and the 911 telephone system.

Police organizations typically have a quasi-military structure with uniforms, ranks, and a clear chain of command. This hierarchical and bureaucratic structure aims to coordinate activities but can also cultivate an "us vs. them" attitude. While bureaucracy provides control and standardization, it can stifle creativity and flexibility. In response, some departments have adopted community policing and COMPSTAT approaches to decentralize decision making and empower local commanders. Police unions also influence departments through collective bargaining.

Racial Profiling In New York CityMiles Priar

��

Racial profiling has been studied extensively in New York City, where researchers have found evidence that it does occur. Studies have shown that police activity disproportionately targets minority groups, which some attribute to the "Broken Windows Theory" of policing minor crimes. However, the facts also show that police focus extends beyond just disorderly individuals in certain areas. A police chief's email condoning racial profiling has raised concerns and could lead to his firing if found to be legitimate. Debate continues over racial discrimination and unequal treatment in law enforcement.

The Evolution of the Police Forcecook3110

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, changes came to the police in Western Europe. As populations grew in cities due to poor living conditions and unemployment, crime rates increased. The ruling classes were concerned about social disorder and their safety. This led to calls for organized police forces to protect citizens and property. The French created the first modern police force called the Serjents in 1829 to maintain order and safety. The British followed with the Bobbies in 1829 due to ineffective constables, aiming to prevent crime. Germany established the Schutzmannschaft in 1848 after revolutions, modeled on the Bobbies but evolving to be more militaristic. Prison systems also changed from arbitrary capital punishment to rehabilitation based on

Police and correctional officers face tremendous stress from their jobs, including vicarious, occupational, and professional stress. The police culture impacts how officers deal with stress, sometimes preventing healthy processing of trauma and even encouraging unhealthy coping like alcohol abuse. Prolonged exposure to trauma can result in PTSD or Police Trauma Syndrome, which progresses through stages from initial repression of emotions to burnout. Critical incident stress debriefings provide a confidential space after traumatic events for officers to externalize their emotions before unhealthy defense mechanisms set in.

Mental illness presents challenges for law enforcement. Officers receive little training but often encounter mentally ill individuals, sometimes violently. Common mental illnesses include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. Traditionally, officers resorted quickly to force without understanding illnesses. Now, programs like the "Memphis Model" establish crisis intervention teams to de-escalate situations non-violently through engagement, rapport building and community resources. These programs reduce injuries while increasing public awareness of mental health issues.

The courtroom is a high-risk environment due to emotions running high and potential losses for those involved. Maintaining security is challenging due to lack of funding, preparedness, complacency, and outdated infrastructure. Risk assessment protocols examine the hearing type, participants, and emotions to determine security levels. Proactive security includes transport procedures, staffing levels, and facility design. Reactive measures provide communication systems and response protocols for emergencies. Overall, the goal is protecting all within constitutional rights.

A cult is a group that separates itself from mainstream culture and forms a distinct belief system. Cults can take various forms such as violent apocalyptic, passive apocalyptic, seeking a new world order, or social isolation. Most are led by charismatic leaders and have different types of followers. Police must balance constitutional rights with protecting people from harm when responding to cults.

Chapter FourWilliam Harmening

��

Police and correctional officers may use various levels of force to gain compliance, make arrests, and protect themselves and others. The Supreme Court ruled in Tennessee v. Garner that deadly force is only justified to protect against death or serious harm, rather than to stop all fleeing felons. An officer's perception can be distorted by stress, leading them to "see" things that aren't there, especially for black suspects due to racial stereotypes. Training aims to reduce these effects of stress.

It discusses (1) the importance of communication in crisis intervention and containment/de-escalation, (2) Transactional Analysis as a model involving the Parent, Adult, and Child ego states, and typical communication patterns from each, and (3) specific communication patterns like parallel vs crossed transactions and hooking someone in crisis into a more rational discussion.

Chapter ThirteenWilliam Harmening

��

This chapter discusses prison riots, including their typologies and psychological principles. It covers four types of prison riots defined by the motivations of inmates: grievance riots resulting from living conditions or restrictions on lifestyle/privileges; retaliation riots seeking vengeance; power riots attempting to gain control among gangs; and symbolic riots supporting a cause. During riots, psychological principles of deindividuation and obedience to group norms can overcome individual decision making. Response strategies include tactical strikes, riot squad maneuvers, or negotiation to de-escalate threats and resolve inmate demands.

Chapter TenWilliam Harmening

��

A mass panic occurs when a group acts in dangerous or destructive ways contrary to social norms due to abandoning individuality and adopting a group mentality. There are four types of mass panic that determine the police response: anger-driven, excitement-driven, desperation-driven, and fear-driven. The police must be prepared to avoid exacerbating a potential panic with either under- or over-response. Elements of an effective response include preparedness, command/communication, contingencies, and rules of engagement tailored for each panic type.

Chapter FiveWilliam Harmening

The document discusses the tactical response to crisis situations. It covers the historical development of SWAT teams and their role in containing crises. For active shooter situations, the response has changed from setting up a perimeter to immediately confronting the shooter to minimize loss of life. Rapid deployment involves contact, rescue, evacuation, and perimeter teams working together. When breaching a location, teams can either breach and hold or use various entry tactics like crisscross or buttonhook depending on the situation.

Police corruption involves criminal or improper behavior by police officers for personal gain. It undermines the criminal justice system and public trust in the police. There are different types of corruption like accepting gratuities, taking bribes, theft, and protecting illegal activities. Corruption can range from a few "rotten apples" to being widespread and organized in a police department. Theories for why it occurs include individual officer explanations, neighborhood factors, and police subculture and organization issues. Controlling corruption requires internal police mechanisms like effective leadership and supervision as well as external oversight like investigations and public scrutiny.

Walker, Chapter 12William Harmening

��

The document discusses police-community relations, specifically between police and racial/ethnic minority communities. It notes that while most Americans view police positively, minorities generally view them less favorably. Attitudes vary based on factors like age, income, location, and experiences with police. Community policing programs have been shown to improve citizen attitudes by fostering trust and cooperation. Sources of tensions include disparities in police protection across neighborhoods and controversial uses of force against minorities.

12. The Diary of a Police Officer: Boston, 1895 The recently discovered 1895 diary of Boston police officer Stillman S. Wakeman provides a revealing glimpse into actual police work 100 years ago. Officer Wakeman was “an officer of the neighborhood.” He spent most of his time on patrol responding to little problems that neighborhood residents brought to him: disputes, minor property crimes, and so on. He spent relatively little time on major offenses: murder, rape, robbery. He resolved most of the problems informally, acting as a neighborhood magistrate. Officer Wakeman’s role was remarkably similar to that of contemporary patrol officers. He was reactive and a problem solver. The major difference was the absence of modern police technology: the patrol car and the 911 telephone system.
