17. The True Explanation
The department of government concerned primarily
with maintenance of public order, safety, and health and
enforcement of laws and possessing executive, judicial,
and legislative powers. (Merriam-Websters)
18. Public Order
Police must maintain the public’s actions under a
set of Laws or Codes.
Each state has their own Laws, within the state
there are county laws and township ordinances.
It’s the Police’s Job to enforce these Laws.

19. Public Safety
Police interaction with
public improves
lifestyles with the
citizens.
Interaction increases
effectiveness of the

20. Police Interaction
In poor and high-crime neighborhoods, residents may be distrusting of the police and
rates of community participation may be very low. (Community Policing)
Even though community policing promises to benefit everyone, specific programs
may favor particular community interests. (Community Policing)
These are two examples of the police’s interaction with the community.
21. Health and the Police
Police always arrive
when there is an
ambulance called to
assist the paramedics.
Usually a squad car
will arrive first before
the Ambulance.

Notas del editor
Police are a crucial role in societies around the world and without them, the world would either be ran by militaries or there would be total chaos.
Once a person would be enslaved they could have many roles in society, their role was usually depicted by the crime they committed. Becoming an “Officer” in Greece required a non violent offense and usually came to the slaves who were only enslaved for a minor infraction. Although if a major crime(treason,murder of govt. official) was committed certain citizens had special rights to investigate the crime by order of the senators or emperor.
Romans upgraded from the Grecians by using the military as peace keepers and this pretty much was a success because no one had wanted to deal with the military.
Some senators had hired private citizens as extra protection from either an uprising or a plot to assassinate them.
The Romans were the forerunners for Police, they set up numerous prisons where slaves or criminals would be kept. With these prisons the Military would guard the perimeter and a special division of the military maintained the prisoners and the prison’s well being.
Constable, comparable to a police high ranking officer (Sergeant, Lieutenant, Colonel).
Back then it was an honor to be apart of the police, and this was why some worked for free.
COP, Constable on Patrol.
Today in Police, there is an organization that oversees Police and its duties, this organization is the FOP, Federal Organization of Police.
In Spain they were just considered Brotherhoods, this was the beginning of the Police as a recognized organization.
In France we see our first form of ranks becoming prevalent, a chief of police would be named for either a city or district. Then the chief would appoint citizens as Police Inspectors and this became the first form of American Police Theory.
Picture Shows: a common sight in France, a foot Patrol.
Above we see the breakdown of Police forces that ends up equalling out in 1791, when the King sets up a national police force.
The marshall was in charge of keeping the peace on the streets, this is the common duty of an everyday police officer.
The constable was in charge of the military body and its interactions with the public.
If there were to be a riot then the marshall would talk to the Constable and set up the military to stop the riot.
British Police theory is the core of our police theory here in America, yet we did change a little bit.
If we never used the British theory then our lifestyles could be very different from what they are now.
Above: We see a highly armed foot patrol in a high crime area of London. In America we do not equip our police with Machine Guns unless they are involved in SWAT.
SWAT- Special Weapons and Tactics.
Glasgow was the forerunner of city police and more localized police departments.
Within a few years every city within Britain, and Scotland had its own police district.
In Scotland though the police were volunteers, not paid workers.
London became the first city to employ and pay its officers for their services.
Above: A typical look for a constable/officer in Britain.
London has now set up an urban police force that worked in shifts, some officers worked during the day, while others worked throughout the night.
The Metropolitan Police Act, the purpose was to protect the majesty and her/his people.
Queens Peace- Theory of keeping the Queen/King in power while having a balanced lifestyle for the citiy.
Above is another definition of for the Police and its duties within society.
The must maintain the public’s: Order, Safety, and Health. While enforcing Laws, and arresting criminals.
Within townships there are special ordinances that the residents must follow, the police have the duty to enforce these ordinances while enforcing federal and state laws.
While enforcing the laws, the police must have positive interaction with the public or else the residents might begin not to trust the police and not aid them in their job. With more community relations, the police can get the criminals behind bars and increase the overall wellness of the community.
Police interaction with public improves lifestyles with the citizens.
Interaction increases effectiveness of the police.
Above are two statements from an article explaining the pros and cons of having a lot of police interaction with the community.
The first statement is in defense of an argument, saying that higher crime neighborhoods should have less interaction because many residents do not trust the police. In many studies this has been proven but many skeptics say it is only because of a previous mistrust with the Police.
The second statement is more or less saying that the police can be bribed or paid off to watch over a certain part of town more then others. So this is saying that if a store owners offers the police a free meal or discounted one the owner would expect more watch over their store. This process has been proven to done in many cities but as predicted nobody will say they have done this.
Whether it be a fire, an accident, or a shooting the police will show up to assist and keep order. In the event of an accident the police are usually the first on scene, followed by paramedics and fire crews. The police can offer CPR if needed and other medical necessities in the time of an accident. The police then can assist the medics and alert them of any allergies the patient might have and what they believe is wrong with the patient. This not only speeds up the process, but provides the medics with more information so they can fulfill their job better, and give the patient a better chance to live. This also poses a problem, the police must be adequately trained with medical processes or else they could misinform the medics and make the process even harder.
Police always arrive when there is an ambulance called to assist the paramedics.
Usually a squad car will arrive first before the Ambulance.
In our township the officers upon hiring are asked whether they would want a night shift or a day shift. So for the night shift an example is 7 at night to 7 in the morning. Yet for the day shift it would be 7 in the morning to 7 at night. Usually one officer would work 4 out of the 7 days a week while the other 3 they can get their sleep or family time.

Every township has their own colors, badge, and emblem on their uniforms/cars/paperwork.
Colors- 2 darker colors usually a blue and black combination and now even grey is being used.
Badge- Township emblem is found on badge with officers number and township name.
Emblem- A patch sewn on the uniforms with a township identification and their sign/symbol.
In PA, they have a contract with General Motors, the townships are not required to abide by the contract but they receive a budget increase and cheaper deals on the cars if they do.
Police Cars are usually V-8 Powered with a special emissions package.
During inspection police cars are given special guidelines when it comes to emissions.
Townships are beginning to not buy the Crown Vics, but buying the Ford Explorers or SUVS. Also newer cars are the Dodge Charger, and many people do not realize are only V-6’s
Pen and Paper- Used to jot down notes/observations/witness info
Cuff Key- Unlocks and locks handcuffs
Badge- used for township ID, and officer ID
Radio Mic- Mic used for officers to quickly communicate between them an others
Commendations- Used to identify Rank
Name Badge- ID’s officer by their Last name.
Gun- Usually a Glock (13 bullet magazine)
Baton- A black expandable metal stick that is used to control the suspect
Taser- A lesser weapon then the gun that sends a 15,000 volt to the suspect and is controlled by the officer.
Cuffs- Used to detain suspect(s)
Extra Magazines- 2 Extra clips used in dire need by officer
Radio- Actual radio not the Mic but the Controls
Chain of Command within a township

Equivalent to a Sergeant
Wears Pants and tie to work with a badge
If seen on the streets, would seem like a citizen
Armed
Is in control of a specific squad, each squad is appointed one sergeant.
Usually known as the PIC, Person in charge during night shifts.
During the day they make the decisions on the street but there is someone else there to ask on what to do.
Basic role in police, spends day on the street enforcing the laws and codes of the township/state/local.
Since Washington D.C. is not a state they are governed by Federal Police
BP: Protects any land where we connect with another country and also where we have immigration points for visitors
Customs: Protect airports/points of entry/ports
Federal Buildings: Any building that deals with federal business, such as embassies/tax buildings/court houses
Pay Scale: Any Federal worker is paid on a Grade Scale and promotions can jump the scale, also the amount you can know is based on your grade scale. Top Secret info would not be able to be told to a GS-5 but a GS-13 can pretty much know anything.
GS-5: $27,026-35,135
GS-7: $33,377-43,521
State Roads in PA- PA 202, I-95, I-476
The Taser Shockwave originated with the military, where it would be attached to HV’S for crowd control. Now it is used by SWAT for a “no cross line” 54 tasers, connected to one switch and control. Range:25 feet, compiled in different shapes

For my application I did a Magazine,THE SHIFT, similar to a magazine sent out to all police officers from the FOP, that gives updates and news about local departments.
This quote was slurred out by Officer Stephen Liczbinski after he had been shot by Eric Floyd, a robbery suspect at the time.
Timothy Simpson- Crash, Hit by intoxicated driver
John Pawlowski- Shot, breaking up fight between cab driver and passenger, cab driver
Stephen Liczbinski- Shot, rifle shot by robbery suspect
Chuck Cassidy- Shot, while checking in on a store that was robbed previously, robbery in progress
