64-NEW/CJA-464-Week-2-DQ-1-NEW I find this to be
an interesting topic covered in the book. The
title alone is somewhat bothersome. If policing
is an impossible job, why should anyone try to do
it? From my earliest memory, I knew that I wanted
to be a police officer. When I think back, I try
to figure out why I had this calling. People
become police officers for many different
reasons, some good and noble and some not. I
would like to think that my intentions were of
the good and noble sort, but no matter the
intent, my expectations of what the job entails
was way off. The range of skills that an
individual must have to be an effective police
officer is quite lengthy. The last thing that our
society would tolerate is a Robocop mentality
among all police officers (not to say that there
are not some, but it is definitely not the
majority). One of the most difficult factors of
effective policing in some situations is knowing
when something is working. For example, if you
have two officers and one makes a high number of
arrests on his or her beat, while another officer
takes part in community programs and has fewer
reported crimes on his or her beat, how do you
tell who is being more effective? How do you
prove when a crime has been prevented if it is
never attempted due to the efforts of an officer
or agency? It is far easier to measure numbers of
incidents than a lack of incidents. What are your
thoughts about policing as an impossible job? How
does this relate to the policy aspect of
policing? For more classes visit http//www.assign
