The jargon that is used between dispatch and the law enforcement officers is unique to the area and allows for all individuals in the department to understand the situation and respond accordingly (Rainey, 2014, p. 360). By using the short codes decreases the amount of talking on the radios which results in more effective communication, most of the
Dallas Police Efforts to increase Legitimacy The Dallas Police Department is constantly engaged in programs to increase its legitimacy and to maintain the assurance of having an approachable and trustful relation between Police Officers and the public.

A new emergency communications center will allow for quicker response to emergencies and provide information to be used for pinpointing and tracking neighborhood crime patterns which works perfectly to achieve CAPS goal of identifying and solving crime, not only reacting after the crime is
Surprisingly, a number of jails and state prisons across the country are in the middle of a heated crisis. A high percentage of the jails and prisons are dealing with antiquated communication systems that place the institution at risk. An institution without a strong communication system is a danger to the inmates and the personnel in the institution. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that the city of Struthers plans to close their city jail. They decided to take this strategic step instead of making improvements to the communications system within the jail along with other outstanding issues.
E/M codes play an important role in the billing process. When using E/M codes, you must take 3 factors into consideration; the place of service, the type of service, and the patient status. There must be documentation to support all codes listed. A negative impact on the medical office if E/M coding is done incorrectly could be the loss of money. The physician, office, or hospital relies on the coding to be done correctly.
These challenges shaped the evolution of police departments, prompting them to adapt, strategize, and reform, constantly reshaping their approach to maintaining the peace. This historical panorama provides an invaluable context for understanding the police departments of today. The twin ideals of authority and service persist, albeit in more complex and plural societies. Today's law enforcement agencies grapple with the same challenges, albeit amplified by technological advances and societal changes.
I designed the books of 10 to keep things simple and retainable while still providing a lot of knowledge to the reader. Primarily these books are intended to provide Law Enforcement as well as Military members with knowledge, skills and/or abilities that will serve to better conduct their business. Whether its corrections, security, protection, patrol, investigations or another branch of L.E. our main mission is still relative, Protect the innocent. If you have not heard me say it before, it is important that you make this your business. Of course, this task is not conducted by the L.E. community itself, it relies heavily on Courts, Juries, Prosecutors, Law Makers, Community Leaders, Parole and Probation, Business Owners, Child services, Social Services and many other departments.
Originally, during Colonial times, policing in the United States consisted of little more than night watches. These watches weren’t very effective, as watchmen often drank or slept on duty, and many of the volunteers were only there as a way to get out of military service or helping with the watch as a form of punishment (Potter, 2013). It wasn’t until 1838 that the city of Boston established the first formal organized police force in America. Other cities soon followed, and by the 1880s, all major metropolitan areas had a formal police force. These changes took place largely due to the rapid population growth in American cities.
In the 1960's there were about six new major developments that created a new generation of policing. During this era, the police force was going in a new direction. Reports were being made that something had to change within America's police forces. Officers had to establish more professionalism when it came to not only their work but their education. The educational portion of this job was then changed to criminal justice which helped officers to widen their curriculum.
Modern policing has evolved using technology from the 1930s and today’s modern policing. In the 1930s, police had very little
It protects police officers when there is a paperwork error, and the officers have no way of knowing at the time of the search that it is bad paperwork.
It is used to deter people from committing criminal behavior, interrupt crimes that are in the process of being committed, and position police officers in positions for a fast response
Many police agencies today have established a code of ethics, or codes of conduct, and it easy to find parallels between Peel’s principles and present policies and
Studies and researches on code-switching have been conducted and researchers are on debate on whether or not code-switching is beneficial for language proficiency. On one hand, some researches are against the idea of second language acquisition and code-switching as it delimits a speaker’s ability to understand more his or her first language. Xiaoli (2003) argued that the first language should be used in speaking as it maximizes the speaker’s knowledge of the language. Furthermore, code-switching may serve many purposes in a bilingual or multilingual discourse but some linguists believe that bilinguals and multilinguals have “trouble expressing themselves in either language” because of lack of enough knowledge in the two languages or because of confusion as to whether what word is best used in the discourse (Bhatia & Richie 2004 p. 349–350 cited in Zanova, 2011).
Code-switching refers to the linguistic phenomenon that occurs when an individual who is either, bilingual or multilingual, alternates their dialect with various languages (Moodley, 2013:55). Associated with code-switching is the concept of Matrix language (dominant language) and the idea of when to use code-switching; whether it is conscious or subconscious. In terms of code-switching in the classroom, there are several aspects that contribute to the advantages of using different languages which may help a student learn particular subjects. For example, an English teacher who is reading a poem that has certain words in a different language. However, there are disadvantages which may hinder the student’s ability to understand certain concepts
