Police Functions

Research the major functions of the police and briefly describe the purposes and techniques of these police functions:

• Patrol.
• Investigation.
• Internal Affairs.
• Vice (public morals).
• Community relations.
• Civilian: Identify some examples of "civilian" jobs found in a local law enforcement agency.

Looking at job descriptions from a police department would be helpful. You might also try contacting a police department's public relations officer.
