1. Briefly list the officer training tactics that you learned from your Field Training Officer.
Give a verbal warning, issue a citation, or make an arrest is under the officer’s discretion. Best
way to handle it is how you respond to call and the circumstances. 3 Basic ideas for discretion
are efficiency, safety, justice. Write someone up for over 10 mph will give points on their
insurance, and cost about 300, have to feel out forms, when and where they are to report to traffic
court. If you give driver half amount ticket 10-15 over but want to give half amount so you give
for less than 10 mph. They still have to be told when and where to go for traffic ticket, and fill
out forms. If you give a verbal there is no points on license or insurance, no fines. A verbal
warning is to make driver aware of the dangers.
1. Apply these tactics to this new traffic stop situation. How can officers prevent incidents
of police brutality and excessive force by using these training methods? Officers can
prevent incidents of police brutality and excessive force by the training they experience
before going on patrol, and having continued training. Psychological evaluations should
also be used to pick up on any officers that might have traits of anger management.
Training to know how to deal with different situations be a continuation while graduating
on the academy and once on the force. As our textbook mentions inspections, reviews
internally and externally of any officers behavior, audits and the discipline of officers that
showed brutality. Another method that could be used in this situation is that even though
the driver was mouthing off to the officers, instead of using brutality that was out of line
they could have put the driver in the back of police car and then gave themselves a
chance of calming down before approach the driver again. The driver wouldn’t have been
so belligerent if she had not been forced out of her car and handcuffed, she should have
been approached differently. (Hendrix, 2013) Page 176
1. Why are police integrity and professionalism important? In your responses, refer to the
required readings and study materials for this module/week. You must include concepts
from the Biblical Principles of Criminal Justice article to support your statements
Police integrity and professionalism is important because it will allow for appropriate measures
to be taken when approaching a situation that could be hostile. Can help avoid brutality, and as
mentioned in our text an officer can exercise powers and still be able to us discretion according
to the highest standards of the officers competence, fairness, and honesty. (Hendrix, 2013)Pages
175. Police professionalism stresses the importance of 1) organizational rule-making 2)
detecting, investigating, and disciplining rule violations 3) circumscribing “The Code.” (Hendrix,
2013) Pages 175 in our Biblical Principles article if every law upholds a moral implicitly then
you can’t avoid that, then what morals should we have for all of society. A police squad is like a
covenant and you must uphold the laws and morals for everyone for justice. An officer takes on
the commitment to uphold the law and use justifiable discretion.
