Police on Jupiter
Madame Council Member, I want to assure you that we do understand what makes community policing on Jupiter difficult. Jupiter is now inhabited by several minority groups from several different cultures. One of the facts we know is that minority groups often have negative feelings toward police officers either because they have experienced negative experiences with police in the past or because their culture has either been not understood or not respected (Carter, 1995). Therefore, we have put all our police officers through intensive training on the different cultures present on Jupiter. They have learned what makes these cultures special, unique and worthy of respect. At the same time, the police officers have learned ways to demonstrate that respect with sensitivity.
In addition, we have employed translators who can be used when needed so that any time our officers are dealing with people who do not speak Jupiter's dominant language, true communication between the two people can take place. In addition we have made, and continue to make, efforts to employ people of all backgrounds for Jupiter's police force so that people of all backgrounds see people from their cultures in law enforcement.
People, no matter where they are from, tend to fear the unknown (Carter, 1995), so we feel that a policy of community policing -- getting the officers into the various neighborhoods of Jupiter in positive ways -- is important. One of the things we have done to accomplish that is to put our officers in the vicinity of school crosswalks when children are traveling to and from school. This allows them to interact positively with children from an early age as well as allow the parents to see police officers in their most important role -- protecting all of Jupiter's inhabitants. I hope these comments will put any concerns to rest.

They have found "when they got those officers that the engagement with these communities was tremendous, which then reflected in their ability to fight crime" (Hilpern 2004). There has also been an attempt to boost the number of non-white officers rather than merely deploy current minority police in greater numbers to the community.

When officers complete training, they are expected to explain the benefits of their learning, describe the purpose of learning, analyze ill-structured problems in order to determine if they are suitable for problem solving and to evaluate the need for "emotional intelligence" while working with their cohorts and members of the community. 6) What issues should be included in basic recruit training?

Police Ethics Ethics, therefore, is not something that a policeman learns in the classroom -- yet, training classes are regularly scheduled -- and this picture of student not understanding why he is in the classroom is indicative of the problem of police ethics as a whole (Crank, Caldero, 2011). There is no established, realistic connection between policing and classroom ethics. The world of the streets is a different from the world
Police Ethics: Identifying Opportunities for Improvement Many people have are afraid of the police, and some would even argue they are afraid for good reason. Indeed, sensationalized and high-profile accounts of police brutality, corruption, sex scandals, malfeasance and abuse of power in the mainstream media have fueled this mindset in recent years. Further exacerbating this negative image of law enforcement are popular views of police extortion in the form of receiving
As in many organizations, the common viewpoint among police officers and supervisors that referral to a mental health professional meant the loss of one's job. The perception prevented the victim from taking the proper action. The victim's superiors would attempt to help or protect him by denying the reality of his problem. As a result, the victim was denied the help he needed. These superiors were unduly concerned about
