CHALLENGE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

POLICE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

One of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement is retention and

recruitment within police departments.

Respondents reported that numerous factors contributed to officers leaving,

including, but not limited to:

• Officers seeking jobs outside of law enforcement.

• Negativity surrounding law enforcement in general.

• Pandemic fatigue.

• Pressure from family to change careers.

POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY

Every law enforcement agency seeks to build trust between their officers and

the community. In addition to policies enforced by state governments and other

external agencies, leaders within police departments also have a large role to play.

In an article published by Police1, law enforcement leaders shared how they strive to

develop cultures of accountability within their agencies, including:

• Aligning agency values with community values.

• Leading by example.

• Training first-line supervisors to hold their colleagues accountable.

THE CHALLENGINGES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

• When considering where law enforcement is headed in the next five years

and beyond, embracing technology is another key challenge. Innovations can

happen quickly, and some of the new technologies include:

• Biometrics: Handheld scanners and facial recognition tools that can improve

the accuracy of identifying individuals.

• Gunshot Detectors: Sensors and mapping technologies that can detect

gunshots within specific high-crime areas.

• Police Drones: Drones that can take photos of crime scenes and survey

search areas.

• Vehicle Pursuit Darts: Foam darts that can be released by police vehicles

and attach to a vehicle, allowing officers to track their movements with GPS.

DATA-DRIVEN CRIME PREVENTION

• The concept of using data in law enforcement is not a new one, but ongoing

advancements in computing power can help this strategy become more viable

for police departments. Predictive policing can use data to anticipate where

and when crimes will occur, allowing agencies to strategically place their

officers and potentially prevent crimes from happening. Intelligence-led

policing takes the idea a step further, using data in attempts to identify

potential victims and repeat offenders.

THE PEELIANS PRINCIPLES IN THE CONDUCT AND ETHICS OF LAW

9 POLICING PRINCIPLES

1. To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military

2. To recognize always that the power of the police to fulfill their functions and
duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and
behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.

3. To recognize always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of
the public means also the securing of the willing cooperation of the public in
the task of securing observance of laws.

4. 4. To recognize always that the extent to which the cooperation of the public
can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of
physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.

5. 5. To seek and preserve public favor, not by pandering to public opinion, but
by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to law, in complete
independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the
substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and
friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social
standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor, and by
ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.

6. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and
warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public cooperation to an extent

necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only

7. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the
historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the
police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-
time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests
of community welfare and existence.

8. recognize always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions,

9. To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime
and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with
them.
