Document Summary
Looked at policing in terms of some of the challenges they face. What it entails when they move from training to on the job policing. Police must cope with different behaviour from jurisdiction. Some police behaviour will be influence by the police chief or whoever is in charge. The administrators view of particular problems and the extent of the decisions may be influenced intentionally or unintentionally by politics chief policies may be influence by politics. Being police invoked - police enforce the law. Law enforcement: police take it upon themselves to stop someone, was on his own perception/discretion: police have absolute discretion, on the other hand they have their hands tied . Citizen invoked the citizen is the one that wants someone to respond or wants the order. Law enforcement: the citizen is upset, they call the police because they want something done few of these result in an arrest.
