How long were you an officer? Why did you leave?
Did your department emphasize community policing or broken windows policies during your tenure? If so, what was the attitude of the officers toward the policy and what kind of reaction did you get from the community? What did you think of the policy?
What law enforcement policies and practices (at the dept level and at the national level) do you think would be beneficial to communities?
3 and 1/2 years.
Things didn't work out, I went on to work at the same county as a deputy with the Sheriff's Office.
Most police departments promote aspects of community policing and teach on broken windows. Most officers were for community policing. We had a special community policing unit where there were officers who were assigned to particular neighborhoods. Usually, community policing was well received by those who wanted violent crimes to decrease in their neighborhood. I thought the policy was good. You can't control what criminals do, but you can try to push it out of a neighborhood, which usually means the criminals will go to another neighborhood where police activity is low.
Our department level policies were all fine. No department is perfect, and usually, it's not the department who is the problem but problem officers. There were some officers who got terminated for doing the wrong thing. I know one dude got arrested, convicted and sent off to prison for years.
National level policies? Well, it is hard to push certain things that one police department does to every department, like body cams. Why? Money and time. Cities and counties who have more money in their budget can implement things better. It's not size, but budget. A big city can have a ton of internal problems even with a big budget. A small town can have a ton of internal problems because they have a small budget.
But, one thing I think would be good to promote across the board is constant training in defensive tactics. All the situations where multiple officers gang up on one subject has a bad look. You really only need to one to three officers to take down a non-cooperative unarmed subject. If you have the proper training and practice it regularly, then you won't need to resort to brute force beat downs. Then, if you use the jiu-jitsu and aikido based defensive tactics, it won't matter if the cop gets secretly recorded on video by a by-stander or gets seen by a crowd, because it will be evident that the officer used proper technique to get a subject under control.
or did you see fairness overall?
